Racing Information

RPEYC Wednesday racing commences 8 October 2025

The popular RPEYC Wednesday racing has been a feature of Sydney yachting for over 50 years. On average, some 50 yachts jostle in front of the clubhouse on a Wednesday afternoon between the Clubhouse and Shark Island during the summer to participate in this popular passage race around the harbour.

The RPEYC conducts a Sunday Summer Series. Races commence at 1130hrs, and members typically enjoy lunch at the club after racing.

The RPEYC shares an extensive program of Saturday racing throughout the year in conjunction with the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron.

The RPEYC is highly regarded for the professional race management services provided to Sydney Harbour racing. The RPEYC Race Management volunteers officiate for selected major regattas and other yacht club races. New volunteers are always welcome to participate in this important component of sailing life at the Edwards. If you have some spare time, becoming a Race Volunteer is a great way to learn new things, meet new friends and spend time on the harbour. Please contact secretary@rpeyc.com.au for more information.

Many of our keelboat owner/members seek racing crew on an ad hoc or more regular basis. If you would like to become involved, please send your details to secretary@rpeyc.com.au.
