The Hervey Bay Sailing Club is situated on a beautiful 7 km white sandy beach, facing North, in the delightful City of Hervey Bay, three and a half hours North of Brisbane. It's protected by the magnificant Heritage listed Fraser Island, making for an excellent sailing venue, that has been utilised by the Club over the last 30 yrs.
Since it's infancy in 1968, Hervey Bay Sailing Club started as a tent on the beach,with a small number of enthusiastic sailors, sailing a Gwen, a Heron, Moth, P class and a sabot, for the first couple of years, till the members built their own purpose built two storey club house, and the number and diversity of boats grew. It has become a popular venue for Club racing, social functions, and Regattas over the years, including Cobras, Herons, Lasers, Nacras, Hobies and sabots, just to mention a few. Many who have visited the Club comment on it's excellent position for viewing the racing, or just taking in the wonderful scenery.
These waters are also home to the famous "Bay to Bay Yacht Race", held every year since 1981, into it's 30th Year, in 2010, and proudly sponsored by Wide Bay Water Corporation. This race has attracted as many as 300 trailable yachts in the past, and promises to be a special event in the sailing calendar of all on the East Coast in 2010.
