Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron
Description
Built in 1926, the Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron is unique in that the outer shell has morphed as the requirements of the club have changed. Step into the Olympic Bar, home of the 1956 Melbourne Olympics sailing events; view the original scoreboard and Olympic flag or check out the modern Harbour Room, our wedding and events space.
What's On
Come celebrate 150 years of sailing at St Kilda with us. Wander through the building at your leisure or be guided by a member of our historical and memorabilia group. There will be live music during the afternoons.
Children's Activities
There will be sailing-related activities, including knot-tying and face painting.
