Welcome!

Our club is about all things to do with traditional boats - their construction, maintenance, restoration and of course enjoying them on water and other forms of public display.

We are located in Canberra - Australia’s national capital - and you will find us regularly on Lake Burley Griffin and occasionally elsewhere.

Sailing days are held regularly throughout the year (see “Events”), and there are also special events on the annual calendar.

Generally it is not possible for a private party to obtain permission to operate a power boat (other than electrically powered) on Lake Burley Griffin. However the constitution of the Squadron contains the Squadron rules for eligibility of a traditional boat. A power boat belonging to a Squadron member that satisfies these rules, and also satisfies the safety regulations of the National Capital Authority (NCA) is eligible for the issue of a permit to operate on Lake Burley Griffin.
