The Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania – Sponsorship Overview

From humble beginnings in 1880, the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania has grown through the dedicated service of many exceptional yachting members. What began as local yacht racing on the River Derwent has evolved into a proud partnership with the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia in co-managing one of the world’s premier blue water classics – the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.

With a rapidly growing membership and strong community engagement, the Club expanded its racing calendar to include iconic Tasmanian events such as the Bruny Island and Maria Island blue water races. These competitions attract yachts and crews from across the state, reinforcing the Club’s vital role in the broader sailing landscape.

The Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania is proud to make Hobart a true mecca for Australian and international champions of the sport. Backed by a vibrant membership base and exceptional facilities, the Club is one of the largest and most respected in Australia.
