MHASC is an ILCA (formerly known as ‘Laser’) dinghy sailing club offering some of the best sailing in Sydney, with easy access to the waters of Middle Harbour and The Sound. Races are held on Sundays when there are fewer clubs racing. Club facilities include boat racking, kitchen, deck overlooking Middle Harbour, members room and change rooms. The women’s change room was renovated in 2015.
The ILCA dinghy is ideal for a wide range of young and older adults (female and male) who are passionate about dinghy sailing and wanting to keep themselves fit, active and having fun on the water. The Club races ILCA 4, 6 & 7 rig categories to cater for a range of sailor weights and abilities. Many members also participate in Metro, State, National and International competitions which provide added dimensions of challenge and wonderful experiences.
Racing is not held on days when regattas are being run by ILCA NSW & ACT to support members sailing in these events. A number of members organise mid week sails.
We have club boats available to help prospective members get underway. Coaching and mentoring support including ‘Learn to Race’ are also offered.
The club house holds 48 boats, we have racks available for new members.
The club house is accessed from the Spit West Reserve Car Park located at the end of the ‘No Through Road’ laneway behind Middle Harbour Yacht Club). Click here for GoogleMaps
