About MYC

Picture photograph by Stephen Bolton
 Mornington Yacht Club is located in Schnapper Point Drive Mornington approximately 50km SSE of Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula. The Club was established in 1946.

The MYC clubhouse is situated near the waters edge adjacent to the Mornington pier and close to good swimming beaches. Facilities at the club include a deep water harbour sheltered from the West, South and East but is exposed to the North, a launching ramp, 2 launching cranes with a capacity of 2 tonnes, and a slipway. MYC also has facilities to assist disabled persons enjoy on water sailing.

Classes sailed at MYC include Div 1 and 2 Keelboats, Trailerables (D3), and Off the Beach Classes. Classes sailed include S80s, Flying Fifteens, Etchells, Seaway 25s, Elliot's, Thompson's, Lasers, Optimists, 420's, RS Feva's, and many others.

Most racing is mixed fleets with the exception of Etchells, FFs and Optimists. There is also a well structured Crusing Division.

MYC has an unsurpassed view over Mornington Harbour and surrounding area and visitors are most welcome. The Club has a licensed restaurant (The Rocks) and bar. The clubhouse can be hired for private functions.

The Club has an elaborate WeatherCam system which will allow you to view up to the minute activities at the club. Click on the link on the top menu to view the award-winning WeatherCam system that has had close to 3 million hits.

MYC caters for Members in the following membership categories, Family, Senior, Youth, and Social. Sail training courses are held regularly for juniors in Optimists and people of all ages using the club’s Pacer dinghies. The Club has qualified trainers and race officials.

The summer sailing season at MYC extends from October to May and a winter race series is held for some classes. Races are held on Saturdays, Sunday mornings (Optimists and OTBs), and Thursday evenings during the daylight saving period. During the season, every second weekend has a scheduled Sunday afternoon pursuit race open to all classes.

A major event for MYC is its Schnapper Point Regatta held in February each year. This event caters for visitors with all classes of boats as well as providing interesting displays and activities for visitors onshore.

MYC hosts many Championship events and was host to the 1999 World Sailing Championship for Europe Class dinghies in which over 150 competitors from 17 countries participated. We have also hosted several Sail Melbourne Trailerable events including 2003 and 2004 and also proudly ran the 420 World Championships in January 2004.

March 2011 saw the successful running of the Optimist Open and Green fleet State Championships, and at the same time, the running of the International Moth foiler class and Musto skiff State Championships. These three regattas were all highly successful, with feedback on the Optimist States as being 'one of the best Championships that has ever been run in Australia'

2014 was no exception to our regatta hosting resumé. We proudly hosted the 2014 AIODA International Optimist Australian and Open Championships with nearly 350 boats - making it the biggest single class regatta ever held in the Southern Hemisphere! The event was an outstanding success and has received accolades from many people from around the world.

These large scale events are all managed by the Club Committees both on and off the water and countless, tireless volunteers - the bulk of whom are all Club members. The Club has great rapport with other Clubs and this allows the combining of resources - such as that needed for the Optimist titles where we had around 90 rescue and support vessels alone for the kids!

Please contact the office for any further information.

A History of Mornington Yacht Club from 1946 to 2016
Author: Stuart F. Gooley


This publication is a must for all past and present members, as well as for members of the public interested in yachting in the Mornington area. The book of some 300 pages covers the history of the Club from its foundation in 1946 until the 2016 sailing season.  In addition there is an introductory section covering the period from the 1880's until the Second World War when the classic yachts from the City clubs visited Mornington frequently for Regatta's.
The Club over its 70 year history has seen members win world, Australian and State Championships as well as major ocean races both in Australia and overseas.  The book records these events as well as our local Club Championships. There are over 800 individual names recorded in the index.
