About the Club

North Manly Yacht Club is a community-led group of hobbyists, educators and weekend pirates who've been sailing remote-controlled yachts on Manly Lagoon for over six years.

We started with a couple of mates, a few hand-built boats and a shared love of the lagoon. Today we run weekly racing sessions, workshops with local schools, and free come-and-try days for anyone curious enough to wander down.

Through our partnership with TinkerTank, we connect kids and adults with hands-on STEM — from electronics and 3D printing to wind dynamics and design. Every boat tells a story; most of them were built in a shed.

What we believe

• ⚓ Public waterways belong to the community.
• 🛠 The best boats are the ones you fixed yourself.
• 🌱 Leave the lagoon better than you found it.
• 🤝 Everyone's welcome on the start line.
