COMMODORE’S WELCOME

GREETINGS

It is my very great pleasure as Commodore of Royal Brighton Yacht Club to invite and welcome members and visitors alike to our Club on the shores of Port Phillip. Royal Brighton Yacht Club has a long and distinguished history going back to 1875, growing from a small lean-to shed on the beach here in Brighton to the large modern facility you see now.

Our passion for the sport of sailing has remained undiminished. The style of yachts may have changed, but the wind in our sails, friendly competition and adventurous cruising further afield, continue to attract countless of Melburnians and visitors to our Club on the water. We have an extensive sailing program, which provides opportunities for young and old, male and female, racer and cruiser to go sailing. For those new to sailing there are children’s or adult learn to sail programs, while for the more experienced there is racing, or cruising, or a combination of both. Besides our active keelboat and one-design fleets, I am pleased to report that our off-the-beach dinghy classes are strongly re-establishing themselves.

At our funeral homes, local families and yachties have shared many laughs, tears, and memories. They bring trophies, sailing jackets and photos and tell some wonderful stories.

After five generations and over 160 years, we continue to commit to providing exceptional care, advice and quality funeral services. Always at the heart of the community, we accommodate diverse multicultural and religious needs with our modern chapels, professional staff and distinctive black Rolls Royce vehicles. Nelson Bros continues to care for members and friends of the Royal Brighton Yacht Club across all of Melbourne.
