Welcome to the Ocean Reef Sea Sports Club Sailing Section. Our sailing section includes a friendly but competitive group of dedicated and experienced sailors that get to enjoy all of the yacht racing action the club has to offer upon the relatively calm waters off Ocean Reef.

​

The ORSSC sailing fleet consists mostly of Trailer-Sailer type yachts in size 20 to 30 feet. The club provides a hardstand adjacent to the ORSSC clubrooms where these vessels are stored when not in use and we have easy access to the public ramps at the Ocean Reef Marina to launch our boats. Our sailing fleet also includes a number Keelboats that join us from the nearby marinas at Hillarys and Mindarie.

​

We have two distinct racing seasons, a summer series and a winter series and we normally race on Saturdays, having 10am starts during summer and a bit later during the winter at 11am. This generally helps us avoid the strong sea breezes during the summer months. We have a variety of interesting courses that we can sail, chosen on the day to make the most of the prevailing weather conditions. Outside of the consistency series we have a couple of trophy races, The Centaur Race which goes south to the waters off Triggs, The Alkimos and Return Race and a Lady Skippers Race which are all sailed in the later summer months.

​

We welcome new people who may wish to learn and experience what sailing has to offer.
