About Us
Royal Queensland
Yacht Squadron
Located on the waterfront of Brisbane’s eastern Bayside suburb Manly, Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron is home to one of this State’s oldest and most prestigious sailing and cruising clubs. Formed in 1885, the Squadron has a long history of supporting and encouraging sailing as a sport that continues today. Sailors at all levels – from beginners in Optimists or Sabots and juniors in a variety of dinghies through to our elite sailors competing with distinction in class championships at International and Olympic events – come to RQYS to enjoy sailing on Moreton Bay. The Squadron itself hosts regular Club Championship races for our Members, along with State, National and International regattas.
A warm welcome is guaranteed, and we look forward to seeing you and helping you belong to Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron.
