QUEENSLAND CRUISING YACHT CLUB (QCYC)

The creek channel to the QCYC marina has a minimum channel depth of 2.5m LAT based on soundings at dredging in May 2022. Skippers are reminded that navigating the channel is their sole responsibility and to ensure they check the latest nautical charts and Notices to Mariners for official published depths.

Berthing

Berthing will be allocated on arrival at the marina. The Club undertakes to provide a berth for all competitors in so far as is possible however skippers are required to assist in this regard by asking the Race Office or Marina Marshalls (if present) for berth allocations prior to leaving the boat and by ensuring space is not wasted due to inconsiderate berthing; large multihulls in particular MUST obtain a berth allocation prior to leaving the boat. Contact must be sought through the marina manager in this respect.

The ends of the T-Heads are reserved for offshore fleet monohulls where there is approximately 3m LAT. This arrangement is subject to pending approval of TMR in line with previous event dispensations. This will also be subject to any allocation by the marina manager or delegate.

Berthing at QCYC is by arrangement if you wish to leave your yacht at QCYC until the following weekend please make these arrangements early so as not to be disappointed.

Launching and recovery – trailerables at QCYC

The Club ramp and adjacent upstream Public ramp will be available for recovery. All yachts with trailers must be removed from the water at the first opportunity.

Parking

Non-members parking for vehicles and trailers is available in the overflow parking area on the other side of the road from the club.
