Middle Harbour Yacht Club

We organise events ranging from social raft-ups, to on-harbour events, to long weekends in Pittwater and Port Hacking. Typically we plan one on-water event per month – however our members are on the water most weekends and are recognisable by the distinctive “Compass Rose” burgee (a white compass rose on a red triangular background) flying below the club pennant.  Our Christmas cruise has been to destinations such as Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and Batemans Bay.

We meet monthly at 7.30pm on the third Monday of each month at the club, with a bring-your-own barbeque at 6.30pm. We invite a guest speaker to each meeting, and try to alternate between “interesting” and “informative” subjects – although most tend to be both!  For example, speakers have included accounts of long distance cruises such as from Europe to Australia and through South East Asia.

Our aim is to;

• Encourage and support existing club members to undertake cruising activities in their yachts.
• Encourage and support new members to join the club and to undertake cruising activities. 
• Encourage competent and safe seamanship amongst our members. 
• Organise and undertake cruises in company, be they single day, weekend, or longer cruises, further afield.
• Organise and hold informative meetings of interest to those wishing to cruise and those wishing to expand their knowledge of cruising.
• Organise and hold education sessions on cruising topics where necessary, or locate and support suitable education courses held by other bodies. 
• Organise and hold social occasions to bring together the Middle Harbour Yacht Club cruising fraternity.

To join the Cruising Division, a one off $50.00 joining fee applies in addition to MHYC Club Membership. Download the  Cruising Division Boat and Membership application form .

The Cruising Division of MHYC meets on the 3rd Monday of each month, and uses as its sailing pennant a flag with a white compass rose on a red background.

MHYC Cruising Division members invite a raft-up or cruise in company whenever they fly our pennant, which we refer to as ‘the Compass Rose’.

WELCOME TO SAILTIME MIDDLE HARBOUR

Spit Bridge

Sailing in Middle Harbour

Sydney Harbour is often referred to as the most beautiful natural harbour in the world. Those who come to see it will understand why. The 240 kilometres of shoreline encompasses approximately 54 square kilometres of water, which is an enormous expanse of water to explore and discover. On a warm sunny day, the harbour is a vibrant blue and dotted with hundreds of sailing boats, cruise boats and ferries. Whether you chose to sail past the iconic Opera house and under the Sydney Harbour Bridge or just drop anchor in one of the many bays. You can be sure it will be a memorable day of sailing.

Moorings, Anchorages & Public Berthing

There are numerous amazing places to anchor or berth for the night in both Middle Harbour and Sydney Harbour both to the east and west of the Harbour Bridge. You can also visit one of the many Yacht clubs including, Middle Harbour, Cruising Yacht Club Australia or sail into Darling Harbour or Birkenhead Point.

SailTime Membership

All new members will benefit from a two-day induction program to ensure you are familiar with your new Beneteau yacht and the local area before heading off on your own. We also have a comprehensive program of training available with highly experienced RYA/YA instructors through SailTime Training – you can decide how far you want to go from Novice to Yacht-Master level.

Owner Member Program Also Available

If you’re looking for a smart and cost-effective way to buy a new yacht in your local waterway with all the benefits of ownership but with the expenses taken care of and regular monthly payments to help offset your marine mortgage, then ask about our Owner Members program.

Freedom – Bénéteau Océanis 41.1

The Oceanis 41.1 is a distillation of performance at sea and on-board intelligence, offering wide scope for personalization. On a perfectly balanced chined-hull, there is no equivalent in cockpit space on any other boat this size. With its double door, bed head facing forward, and the choice of an ensuite bathroom, the master cabin is unquestionably the most attractive feature of the Oceanis 41.1.

Kingfisher – Beneteau Oceanis 37

With this well-thought out and attractive 37 footer, the Oceanis range has a unique model. The Oceanis 37 is in line with its older brothers, adding speed and sensations.. Innovation dominates in the design of this boat. The designers Jean-Marie Finot and Pascal Conq wanted this boat to be not only streamlined, but also fast, practical, and, last but not least, comfortable at sea.

Tucked in between Middle Head and Dobroyd Head is the entrance to a stunning mini cruising ground for local and visiting sailors looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the main harbour.

Middle Harbour may take you only an hour or two to sail from one end to the other, but you can also spend days poking around its beautiful bays, bushwalking in its parks and reserves, eating at nearby restaurants and cafés, or simply lazing on your boat.

It makes for near-perfect cruising, whether you have a large cruising yacht or a small trailer-sailer. And at times it’s hard to believe you’ve anchored in a waterway that’s surrounded by a city of four million people – especially if you can manage to visit mid-week, when you are almost guaranteed to have the place to yourself.

Getting there

If you are coming into Sydney Harbour by sea, the lighthouse on Grotto Point, at the entrance to Middle Harbour, provides one of the navigation points to guide you into the main harbour. Unless you have a trailer-sailer (and Middle Harbour has a couple of great launch ramps – but more on that later), you’ll come into Middle Harbour between Middle Head (southern entrance) and Dobroyd Head. If there’s a good swell running through The Heads, and you have a following breeze (both nor’easterlies and sou’easterlies seem to kick around through this east-facing entrance) you may have a fun ride into Middle Harbour, with a bit of a surf if you are lucky. But don’t worry: there’s plenty of depth here until you are well around the corner in flat water.

Once around Grotto Point (and giving it a wide berth of at least 70m is recommended) the water flattens right out — and also shallows rapidly as you reach the bar, though never less than 2.5m, so all but the deepest-draught cruisers don’t need to worry about playing the tides. By the time you get to Clontarf Point, unless you know the waterway well (in which case, why are you reading this?) you should have dropped your sails and be motoring up to the Spit Bridge. The channel here is quite narrow, with lots of moored boats, and can get quite gusty in summer with NE bullets coming down the valley on your nose.

Getting into the main part of Middle Harbour involves the ritual of waiting for the Spit Bridge to open. This controversial bridge — the bane of motorists and commuters living in Manly and Sydney’s lower northern beaches and surrounding suburbs — opens up to eight times a day. Times vary between weekends and weekdays, and also between summer and winter.

State politicians have been promising for decades to replace it, but have never managed to find the will and the money. The big fear for sailors is that, one day, they’ll simply announce the bridge will no longer open. About 12 months ago, bridge opening times were reduced, removing up to four opening times a day. So enjoy it while you can.

Courtesy moorings

On the downstream side of the bridge are two courtesy moorings for yachts waiting for it to open. If they are taken by a couple of fishing boats, it’s acceptable to politely ask them to leave (and in our experience, they will do so). If they are not available, you’ll generally find a vacant mooring nearby you can hang off. We’ve quite often spent a relaxing hour or two here following a frenetic sail up the harbour, having just missed an opening: reading, having our lunch or dinner, or just watching the boats and traffic.

As the opening time approaches — particularly on late weekend afternoons — you’ll also get to watch the Spit Bridge ritual, with yachts powering in, desperate to catch the bridge. The operators are very obliging — up to a point. If you are still three or four minutes away, they are not going to hold up any more traffic for you, but a minute or so, and you may be lucky.

Lights on the bridge let you know when it’s OK to go through, but be warned: there can be quite a press of boats. Up to three abreast can fit through, but if you’re at all unsure, just hang back and take your time (within reason, of course). Through the bridge and you are in the main part of Middle Harbour.

Outer Middle Harbour

Before we move into inner Middle Harbour, here’s a brief tour of some possible stopping spots around the outer harbour. As a rule, these are better for day or lunch-time spots, rather than overnighting, unless you don’t mind some fairly frequent wash, especially on weekends.

Tucked just inside Middle Head is Cobblers Beach, named we believe for the male items on display on any reasonably warm day (that’s right folks, you don’t need to bring your cossie to swim here). It’s well protected in a southerly or a westerly, with reasonable anchoring, and of course lovely swimming. However, there are some restricted anchoring zones close to here, as it abuts some Defence facilities, so just read the signs.

A bit farther and you come to Balmoral Beach, which offers some great restaurants and shops (including of the bottle variety). There are lots of moorings at the southern end, so you may be able to Farther north of Balmoral is Chinamans Beach, while opposite you’ll find Flat Rock Beach and Clontarf Beach – all with beautiful white sandy bottoms, crystal-clear water and great swimming and snorkelling. Depending on the breeze and the traffic, they can make a great afternoon stopover after returning through the Spit Bridge on your way home.

Both Clontarf and Chinamans also have public toilets, so if you’ve been holding on after an overnight stay in the Harbour (again, more on that subject later).

Inner Middle Harbour

Once you are through the Spit Bridge, it’s as if you’ve entered a whole new world. A no-wash zone from the bridge (actually from the bar) plus having made the bridge opening just seems to make everything step down a gear, and you can start relaxing.

To the south, you have (in order of appearance) Pearl Bay, Long Bay and Sailors Bay: all offering the possibility of anchoring (or For us, the true Middle Harbour is based around the northerly bays: Sugarloaf, Bantry and the upper reaches of the harbour towards Roseville Bridge.

Sugarloaf Bay

Almost loved to death on summer weekends (and known to be crowded even in the depths of winter), Sugarloaf has two public moorings under the distinctive hill that gives it its name — but on just about any weekend, you’ll be lucky to find them free. But don’t despair: do what most other visitors to this bush-lined bay do, and anchor or raft up with friends. Depths around the edges of the bay are 6-7m, with good holding in mud. We’ve rafted up with up to 20 other Compass owners here. It’s well protected in most winds; nor’easterlies will whip around the corners, but they seem to have lost most of their bite by the time they get in here. Westerlies and southerlies have little impact.

At the southern end of the bay is Crag Cove, while to the north is Castle Cove, extending a little further, and offering plenty of depth to anchor well into its upper reaches. This bay also offers plenty of opportunities for off-boat activities, including bushwalking (there’s a good 2-3 hour walk right around the shoreline, taking in a trail through the trees well above the water, down to mangroves and wetlands at the very tidal upper reaches of both coves) and kayaking.

At the head of Castle Cove is a tidal creek which is well worth exploring at mid-to high tide. It takes you up through mangrove swamps, with plenty of stingrays and other fish swimming on the sandy bottom. Swimming? Hmm, not so sure. Sydney Harbour’s last fatal shark attack occurred in Sugarloaf, albeit in the early 1960s.

The main downside of Sugarloaf is because it’s so popular, it can get terribly overcrowded. Most summer weekends, along with Easter, Labour Day, even Queens Birthday in the middle of winter, can see it packed with boats. Many are motor-cruisers, and while they are at least generally considerate enough to move around the bay without leaving large wakes, they all too frequently seem to believe that everyone else in the bay has the same taste in terrible ’70s rock that they do.

But as I’ve said before, if you can get there mid-week — even in school holidays (excluding January) — you can just about be guaranteed to have the place to yourself.

This is surely the most beautiful bay in Sydney Harbour. It reminds me of some of those fantastic deep tree-lined bays you get in the Whitsundays, but here it’s in the middle of a major city. Houses are almost invisible from the water, just a decrepit National Parks building and aging wharf (which hopefully will one day be repaired) on one side and the fascinating explosives magazine site on the other (currently closed to the public, but under repair). However, to stay here, it’s almost essential to That means unless you can plan your weekend to be there by around lunchtime on Friday (we calculate), the moorings will almost certainly have been taken by large motor-cruisers (is this because they don’t have to wait for the bridge opening?). But again, go there mid-week and you’ll have it to yourself. We spent three days there one April school holidays, with temperatures still in the high 20s, and had at most two other boats in the bay.

Again, it’s a great bay for exploring by kayak or dinghy, and with some lovely (and quite challenging) walks up to Seaforth Oval or even up to Forestville. And having nearly lost our first-ever eating-sized bream here to the baby shark that followed it to the surface, we prefer not to swim here either.

The National Parks building and wharf on the eastern side of the bay give access to the walks — and also include a couple of pit toilets. Be careful using the wharf, which is in poor condition and slippery, but provides a good place to tie up the tender or your vessel while you use the toilets or go for a walk.

Upper Middle Harbour

Between Sugarloaf and Bantry Bays, upper Middle Harbour continues for another mile or so towards the Roseville Bridge. Just on your right as you head up here is Flat Rock Beach, which can be a great spot (in the right weather) to pull a trailer-sailer or three up on the sand — exposed at low tide, completely covered at high tide.

Keep going along this fantastic tree- and cliff-lined waterway, admiring some stunning Castle Cove homes, and eventually you’ll spot the Roseville Bridge. To your right is a launch ramp and small jetty, while to the left is Grays Point and the Roseville Bridge Marina, where you can get fuel, water and food.

In fact, the marina is well worth a visit for the food. With a lovely outlook, it offers café-style breakfasts, as well as full lunches. It claims to have the best chocolate brownies in Sydney-and they’re not far off. It gets very popular on weekends, so if you’re thinking of going there for lunch you will have to book. It’s rare to find an empty mooring here, and if you’re leaving your boat — but that’s not advised anyway.

Anchoring just off Grays Point is the best option. Watch the depths because it shallows quickly, but it’s good holding in clean sand. Also watch the tide as it moves into and out of Middle Harbour Creek. Up to a dozen boats can raft up off Grays Point, with stern lines secured to the solid trees on the shore.

Three marinas inside the harbour offer fuel and other services: D’Albora’s just inside the Spit Bridge, Northbridge Marina in Sailors Bay, and Roseville Bridge Marina. Others are Lyons Boatshed and Cammeray Marina in Long Bay, and Castlecrag Boatshed and Sailors Bay Boatshed, both in Sailors Bay. Outside the Spit Bridge are Clontarf Marina, Fergusons Boatshed (next to the Bridge) and Balmoral Boatshed.

If, like us when we had a trailer-sailer, you’ve had to get by with just a Porta-Potti, toilet location and planning can take on an almost obsessive status. Happily, Middle Harbour is well provided with toilets fairly handy to most areas. All the marinas have toilets, but you’ll also find public toilets in Pearl Bay (rowing club pontoon) just south of the Spit, in Bantry Bay and at Grays Point above the marina (and probably the cleanest public toilets in Sydney — always stocked with fresh soap and non-teflon-coated toilet paper)! A recent check of the internet tells us that Sugarloaf Bay also has public toilets in Harold Reid Reserve, which runs around The Sugarloaf itself. In outer Middle Harbour, Clontarf, Chinamans Beach and Balmoral also have good-quality, clean facilities.

Cafés, food etc.

As mentioned, the Roseville Bridge Marina has long been a favourite of ours, while Balmoral has plenty of good eating. Other possibilities are around the Spit Bridge, and the restaurant in the middle of Clontarf Park. And if you just stay put on the weekends, the coffee boat will bring your cappuccinos, hot chocolates, ice creams etc to you. The friendly owner seems to work the length of the harbour, from Clontarf to Bantry Bay, and prices compare favourably with what you’d pay at any trendy inner-city café.

Launch spots

If you have a trailer-sailer, launch spots include Tunks Park, in Long Bay (but it gets very very crowded on weekends) and the ramp on the downstream (northern shore) side of the Roseville Bridge. Access to this ramp is off Warringah Road heading south. Note that National Park fees apply for parking here, and you may have to return every day to “top up” your ticket; check with the rangers about whether you can make alternative arrangements.

Consensus among fishers is that fish in Middle Harbour are OK to eat, as it doesn’t have the industrial-area catchment of Sydney Harbour’s Parramatta River. We caught our only eating-sized bream in Bantry Bay.

Plenty of birdlife to see and hear, especially in the evenings and early mornings. We’ve also seen sharks, stingrays, decent-sized fish (in the rivers at the heads of bays) and dolphins (around Dobroyd Head, though others have seen them inside the Spit).

Sailors recognised in Queen’s Birthday Honours

From Australian Sailing

Three members of the sailing community have been recognised for services to sailing in the Queen’s Birthday 2020 Honours.

Mr Glenn Bourke AM, [CYCA Member] Mr Patrick Bollen OAM and Mrs Jean Wilmot OAM all from New South Wales were among the list of notable Australians recognised on this year’s list.

“We are overjoyed to see Glenn, Patrick and Jean recognised on the list of recipients this year,” said Australian Sailing President Daniel Belcher. “All three have given so much to the development and promotion of our sport, and today we thank them for everything they have done. The awards are all thoroughly deserved.”

Olympian Bourke has dedicated his life to sailing, and has been recognised for his significant service to sailing at the elite level as a competitor, coach and administrator

On the water, he was one of Australia’s premier sailors across the late 1980’s and early 90’s. He was selected to the 1980 Moscow Olympic Team but missed the opportunity to compete due to the boycott. He won three consecutive Laser Class World Championships from 1988-90 before switching to the Finn where he represented Australia at the Barcelona 1992 Games. He also won back-to-back Yachting Australia Yachtsman of the Year awards in 1989-90, sailed in three Admiral’s Cup campaigns and in the 1987, 1992 and 1995 America’s Cups.

After retiring from professional sailing he has forged a career in the sailing industry. He did a four-year term with the Sydney Organising Committee for the Olympic Games culminating in a role as competition manager for sailing at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. He then held CEO roles for the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia and Germany’s Illbruck Challenge team for the Volvo Ocean Race and was also CEO of the Volvo Ocean Race. In 2008 he commenced his current role as CEO of Hamilton Island, home to Hamilton Island Race Week.

In that time he has also contributed to the development of the sport. He was a Coach at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and has been a member of the Olympic Nominations Committee for Australian Sailing for the past three Games.

Patrick Bollen OAM has been recognised for his service to the community, and to sailing. A long-time member of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, Bollen is one of the most credentialled sailing journalists and has done so much for the promotion of our sport.

Over the years he has covered sailing for the Sydney Morning Herald, the Australian, 2UE, 2GB, News Corp, Fox Sports and the Macquarie Network. He has reported on the America’s Cup, the Pan Am Clipper Series and the Sydney to Hobart every year since 1974.

Jean Wilmot OAM received her honour for service to sailing, and to dance education. Wilmot has dedicated her life to the sport and is a member of the well-known sailing family from Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

Her time and dedication led to the successes of her son Bob (multiple Windsurfing World Championships), daughter Amanda (first female to win a World Championship in an open class at the Cherub World Championships in 1974), grandson Nathan (2008 Olympic Gold Medallist) and son James (multiple World Champion across classes) among others. She has been a long-time member of Middle Harbour Skiff Club and Middle Harbour Yacht Club. We thank her for her support of past, current and future sailing champions.

The best golf clubs in moscow: luxury, exclusivity, and entertainment.

By Walter Raymond

February 24, 2015

• The Best Golf Clubs in…

In Russia, the western concept of building architecturally beautiful golf courses filled with modern and luxurious amenities has found fertile ground. What was considered a frivolous pastime during the time of the Soviets has become the latest trend for the stylish set. These days, there are countless options around Moscow to practice golf, polo, ski, yachting, and other sports alongside 5-star hotels, luxurious country houses, and magnificent villas.

The game of golf is a sport that requires passion and expertise. It is also part of a culture that considers this pastime a synonym of social prestige and exclusivity. In recent years, the new Russian elite has turned to golf as a vehicle of integration in the era of globalization. Golf courses are also meeting and socializing spaces where Muscovite tycoons can relax and also seal business deals.

Golf Courses in Russia

The Moscow Country Club, Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club, Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club, and Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia are some of the most exclusive and elegant golf courses in Russia. Some of them have made it to the list of Top 15 golf clubs in the world, a source of great prestige for the country.

Moscow Country Club Moscow Country Club

The first 18-hole golf course built in Russia, Moscow Country Club, hosts the exclusive PGA European Tour. Located just eight miles from the city center, this luxurious facility was created by architect Robert Trent Jones Jr . The design takes advantage of a typical Russian birch and spruce forest to provide a natural environment of extraordinary beauty.

Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club

The Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is 18 miles from the heart of Moscow, close to historical monuments from the 17th and 18th centuries. Designed by famed architects Paul and Dave Thomas , this 18-hole course is part of a complex that includes a yacht club, an equestrian center, and a health and wellness facility. Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is Russia’s version of a classic country club with multiple attractions.

Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club

This park is among the best in Eastern Europe and was awarded the 2014 World Golf Award as the best golf course in Russia. Located 25 miles from Moscow, it is part of a vast complex featuring an 18-hole golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus , a polo club and a mountain ski club with four tracks. The design combines classic Scottish, Alpine, and English features in a dreamy landscape.

Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia

Less than 60 miles from Moscow, this golf course with a definite Scottish design is the only one in Russia recognized as a PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association) from Britain and Ireland. Located in an ecologically pristine area on the banks of the Volga River, the Zavidovo Golf Club embodies the spirit and appearance of the legendary Scottish golf courses. Its many springs and streams, hills, forests, swamps and lakes justify its reputation as a very demanding circuit. Last year, it entered the exclusive club of the 15 best golf courses in the world.   ■

Angie Harmon’s daughter Avery Sehorn was arrested for allegedly breaking into a nightclub and stealing several bottles of liquor.

According to the arrest record obtained by Page Six, Sehorn was cuffed right before midnight on June 5 after she and two teenage boys broke into the World Nightclub in Charlotte, NC.

Sehorn, 18, and her friends fled with six bottles of liquor –– which amounted to $500 –– from the closed club.

Per the arrest report, Sehorn told police that she and her friends “had gone to the club, saw that it was closed and took the liquor.”

Police also obtained video footage from the club that allegedly shows the three teenagers going into the bar and taking liquor bottles before running away once cleaning crew members confronted them.

The footage has not been released to the public.

Sehorn was subsequently arrested for breaking and entering and larceny.

The owner of the nightclub told local news outlet WCCB Charlotte that Sehorn and “two 17-year-old boys broke in through a back door, then hid behind his bar and drank his liquor.”

A rep for Harmon, 51, didn’t return Page Six’s request for comment.

Sehorn is the middle child to Harmon and former NFL player Jason Sehorn. The couple were married for 13 years before announcing their separation in November 2014. They also share daughters Finley and Emery.

Harmon has been making headlines herself over the last few months after she accused an Instacart driver of shooting and killing her family dog.

“This Easter weekend a man delivering groceries for #Instacart shot & killed our precious Oliver. He got out of his car, delivered the food & THEN shot our dog,” she wrote in an Instagram tribute on April 1.

The “Rizzoli & Isles” alum said that she called the police, but they “let him go,” because he “claimed ‘self defense.'” She further alleged that the driver “did not have a scratch or bite on him nor were his pants torn.”

“We are completely traumatized & beyond devastated at the loss of our beloved boy & family member,” she shared.

Harmon has since gone on to sue Instacart and the driver , Christopher Anthoney Reid, for trespassing and negligence, among other claims.
