Spring Regatta 2024


Things are heating up for our annual regatta. We’re hoping for a big turnout this year and have lots of extras lined up to entertain everyone.

Agulhas Race 2024


With restrictions on hosting the MBR, our racing committee has decided to run this very exciting offshore race as an alternative. There has been a lot of interest, and we are looking forward to a great event.

Moorings for racing boats 26’ or less


FBYC together with STMC have re-introduced cheaper moorings that will be available to boats that take part in Club Races. These mooring are very limited and will only be given out with certain T’s & C’s. You can come to the Sailing Office to find out more.
