Welcome to Koombana Bay Sailing Club
Located on Anchorage Cove, Bunbury
Western Australia, KBSC is the centre
of sailing in the south west. The main
focus of the club is the promotion and
encouragement of the sport of yachting
generally. Saturday is the club's race
day with most races beginning at 2:00pm,
however there are exceptions so please
check the event calendar. Fleets raced
are Cruisers A, Cruisers B, Division IV,
Catamarans, and Junior Dinghys.
There are also many social activities
centred around the Club rooms. Twilight
sailing is on Wednesday evenings with
the start at 6:00pm, and is a more light
hearted competition with the opportunity
for non-sailors or newcomers to have a
go.
Sailing; truly a recreation for everyone.
Any person from eight to eighty and beyond,
rich or poor, fit or otherwise can participate
in this sport at whatever level suits
their circumstances. At KBSC we have the
very best of facilities combined with
a friendly atmosphere to ensure that everybody
gets the most enjoyment possible from
this fine sport.
We provide training for novices, both
junior and adult to a level of proficiency
where any person can fill a crew position
or even feel confident enough to buy their
own boat. Cost can be tailored to suit
any pocket from the millionaire with his
own racing maxi, through small family
cruising keel yachts and high performance
centreboard dinghies to junior training
boats.
For those who choose to sail as crew,
the cost can be less than a third that
of most golf clubs, while boat owners'
costs can start from only a few hundred
dollars. Whatever your preference, a place
can be found for you in the KBSC.
Along with excellent sailing conditions,
we can offer modern facilities including
extensive bar and entertainment areas,
ample boat storage, grassed lawns and
rigging areas and a visual locale unsurpassed
in Bunbury. Just invite your friends down
for a quiet drink at the club on a warm
summer evening with the moonlight on the
water and you will see what we mean! A
full programme of both racing and social
sailing as well as our shore based social
activities can mean a completely new lifestyle
for you. A popular social sailing feature
is our Wednesday night twilight races
which always attract big fleets and many
newcomers to the sport.
Just contact any KBSC member or club official
for advice on the current fees and procedure
and make the most of your life!
