Who we are
Port Owen Yacht Club has approximately 300 members. There is an active sailing programme, and powerboat users are also catered for. The club is popular as a host for sailing events including keelboat and dinghy races, as we have the advantage of offering both a safe bay and a wide slow river on which to sail.
There is also a vibrant social life. The club is open most days of the week and Saturdays from 15:00 when members are welcome to bring and braai.
Members can also look forward to the following regular club activities
- Club Bingo every alternate Tuesday at 18:30
- Pub Grub on Wednesday evenings and the Jolly Joker jackpot draw at 19:00
- Friday evening meals have to be booked in advance and at 19:00 members can listen to the Commodore’s speech before the Port Owen Estates Draw offers a lucky attendee a chance to take home a few bucks
- The first Saturday of each month is monthly market
