Shelley Sailing Club

Shelley Sailing Club is a small, family-focused dinghy club on the Canning River at Shelley (Perth southern suburbs). Established in the mid-1970s, the club sails predominantly small, off‑the‑beach boats on Sunday afternoons and runs a relaxed junior development and learn-to-sail pathway. Facilities are modest and volunteer-run: a clubroom beside an original boatshed, an elevated start box with a fixed anemometer, club-owned hire Lasers, a safety boat and a canteen. The club is affiliated with Australian Sailing and appears as a stakeholder in Swan‑Canning riverpark boating planning.

BUSINESS PROFILE

About Shelley Sailing Club

## Club overview - Shelley Sailing Club formed from informal small-boat racing in 1974 and remains a community-focused dinghy club located on the Canning River foreshore off Riverton Drive at Shelley in Perth's southern suburbs.

## Facilities and club life - The club operates a modest, volunteer-run facility: an original 1981 boatshed that serves as the boat store, adjoining social clubrooms, an air-conditioned start box on the boatshed roof with a fixed anemometer, a safety boat and a canteen. Club-owned Lasers are available for hire to newcomers.

## Racing and calendar - Shelley concentrates on short-course, off-the-beach dinghy racing and social sailing, with a formal season (October–March) that includes an Open Series and signature events such as the Convict Bay Regatta and the locally traditional Cock of the Canning race.

## Community and access - The club emphasises family participation and low barriers to entry: whole-family membership and a discover-sailing culture that invites new sailors to try a Sunday afternoon session without owning a boat.
