Join Our Volunteers

Set against the spectacular backdrop of Rose Bay, our vibrant watersports community is powered by the passion, expertise, and dedication of our incredible volunteers.

Volunteering is the ultimate way to dive into the heart of the club and play an active role in delivering world-class harbour experiences. Whether you are an elite racer wanting to support our championship fleets, an activity-seeking parent helping run junior regattas, or a social sailor or paddler looking to connect with a passionate local community, every hand on deck makes a real difference.

Open to Everyone

You do not need to be an experienced sailor or have any background in race management to jump on board. In fact, many of our most valued crew members started with absolutely no on-water experience and have since become the backbone of our operations.

To set you up for success, we provide hands-on training and support during the winter off-season. It is a fantastic, pressure-free opportunity to build your confidence on the water, master valuable maritime skills, and deeply connect with the vibrant Rose Bay community.

We also know that life is busy, which is why our volunteer commitments are completely flexible. Lend a hand just once a season, a few times a year, or make it a regular weekend routine, there is a place for you here. Ultimately, our volunteers love the chance to give back to the sport, support our promising Youth Academy, and share in the rewarding feeling of bringing successful community events to life.
