About Us
The Botany By Yacht Club is run by members who volunteer their time, so we can all enjoy the club's activities and facilities.
If you think you can contribute in any way, please contact one of the Committee members.
Boatyard Facilities
The operation of the slipping and hardstand facilities are the responsibility of McKay Marine. Use of the slipways is only allowed following approval and arrangement through McKay Marine. Certain restrictions apply to activities in the boaryard, check with McKay Marine for details. Members may reserve the use of club pontoon during weekdays via McKay Marine.
Club Canteen
Hot food and refreshments are available on race Saturdays and Friday twilight racing.
The club has a function license and on designated function days the bar is open for sale of alcoholic beverages.
Club Premisses
The clubhouse is open on race days, meeting nights and other times to suit the club activities.
In the interest of your club, it is important to avoid creating an inconvenience to our neighbours. Members, visitors and guests should take particular care when parking vehicles and minimise general noise and disturbance.
Club Meetings
General meetings for members and guests are held on the last Tuesday of every other month at the clubhouse commencing at 7:30 om.
Moorings
Moorings are available and may be obtained by arrangements with McKay Marine.
Tender Service
The club does not offer a fromal tender service. However, B.B.Y.C. own and operate tenders for the use of its "members only". Club members are to operate and service the vessels. They are for access to and from yachts only - it is not intended they be used while working on your yacht or to be left on your mooring.
On the club race days the tenders are available for the use of tacers, but it is the responsibility of the yachtsmen to arrange drivers before and after the races. It is recommended that at the end of racing the majority of the crew be dropped off at the club pontoon and only2 crew return to the mooring. This will ease the load on the tender at peak time.
