What are you waiting for?

Are you a beginner? An experienced sailor? At school, retired or somewhere in between? An individual, couple or family looking to get on the water? Whatever your answer the Jubilee is the boat for you!

Holding 3-4 people, the Jubilee is a stable, all-weather 18 foot day boat, locally designed and made for Port Phillip Bay. It’s a one-design class and, although some are newer than others, the first one ever built is still sailing and still competitive on the water!

Whatever your age or ability the owners and sailors of the Jubilees will make you feel welcome and will give you the chance for some hands-on learning from day 1 – no sitting on the side as ballast here! A place on someone’s boat can usually be found for the next sail and often kit can be borrowed to get you started. Alternatively check out the website for a list of the Jubilees for sale.

But don’t mistake the friendliness for a lack of competitive spirit. Every Saturday afternoon during the summer (October to May) you will find the Jubilees out on the bay racing and many of them participate annually in the national championship held at Brighton, Sydney or Sorrento, competing for the Huntingfield Cup.

Follow up on your interest now by getting in touch with us. We’re looking forward to seeing you!

"The Jubilee sailors made us feel so welcome when we first moved to Melbourne. As the non-sailing wife of an experienced dinghy sailor my husband was keen to find a boat that I would feel comfortable learning to sail on so that we could sail together. Enter the RBYC Jubilee fleet. 2 years later, we’re still there."
