PORT STEPHENS SAILING AND AQUATIC CLUB Inc.

The Port Stephens Sailing and Aquatic Club Inc. (PSSAC) is located on the eastern shores of Soldiers Point within the stunningly beautiful Port Stephens waterway. The Port Stephens scenery is magnificent and members enjoy sailing on an unpolluted, uncrowded waterway that is World class. Predominant breezes in summer are fresh North Easterly sea breezes which provide excellent sailing conditions. Races are held every Sunday; members usually arrive at the Club around 11am; racing starts at approximately 1 pm, wind permitting. We usually conduct at least 2 short races each Sunday. Our season runs from early September through to late April. Races and regattas are advertised on this site and also the Club Race Program

The Club hosts two major regattas each year (November and July) and occasionally hosts a major State or National Championship for one of the YA classes over either Easter or Christmas.

The predominant class sailed at the Club is the Olympic Laser Class. However, all classes of off-the-beach sailing boat are welcome. At present we are also trying to build a cat class; so bring down that boat that’s been sitting in the backyard collecting dust! Racing is the best way to learn sailing skills. You can be as serious or relaxed about the racing as you like. All tastes are catered for, with the emphasis on a social, friendly atmosphere. New members are always welcome. If you don’t own a boat or can’t sail but would like to learn we can help with advice. Go to our Membership page for more details. PSSAC provides a great opportunity to get out on the water and enjoy what this great area has to offer and make some new friends at the same time.
