Cruising Division
Revelling in one of the nation’s most colourful, non-commercial shipping waterways, Lake Macquarie Yacht Club offers a very active cruising division for all types of vessels with a program of cruising and social events conducted throughout the year.
Cruising Events range from lake cruising, coastal cruising, social outings and skills days.
About the Cruising Division
LMYC Cruising Division is a formally organised group with regular meetings and events.
Our aim is to;
♦ Promote cruising activities within LMYC
♦ Promote the skills necessary for coastal and offshore cruising
♦ Arrange cruising activities and events
♦ Promote the principles of good seamanship and safety
Meetings are held on the second Monday of each month in the Bridgedeck function room at Lake Macquarie Yacht Club at 7:30pm.
A guest speaker is often in attendance with many diverse and interesting topics being discussed. Whilst members of this division must be a boat owner and current financial member of Lake Macquarie Yacht Club, visitors are always welcome to attend our meetings and outings.
