About Royal Yacht Club of Victoria
## Introduction - The Royal Yacht Club of Victoria (RYCV) is a large mixed yacht club located at 120 Nelson Place, Williamstown, on the Williamstown waterfront beside Gem Pier. The club describes its foundation as May 1853 and today operates a marina, an expansive hardstand and a dedicated training centre, supporting more than 200 yachts on its register and a membership in excess of one thousand.
## Sailing and Events - RYCV runs keelboat and off-the-beach racing, twilight series and hosts state, national and international regattas. The club is recognised for strong race management capability and a deep volunteer base that supports major event delivery.
## Facilities - The Williamstown site includes a marina (berths), a large hardstand for slipping and maintenance, clubrooms with dining and bar facilities, meeting rooms, change rooms and an open lawn facing the water. The clubhouse (rebuilt in brick after a 1970 fire) provides dining and function spaces that open onto a waterfront deck.
## Training and youth - The Royals Training Centre provides a broad syllabus: junior Tackers and OutThere youth programs, Australian Sailing dinghy and adult keelboat courses, RYA cruising scheme through to Yachtmaster levels, powerboat and marine radio courses, and short practical courses (diesel maintenance, crane and MOB). The centre delivers school programs and training designed both for members and external students.
