The fleet of nine boats consists of Access 2.03 and 3.03 dinghies; an Etchel and two Red Witch yachts. Lynne Newton, the Coordinator of Sailability at the Club, said Sailability at South of Perth Yacht Club has a base of some 40 volunteers and on average they take 34 participants sailing each week.

Radio Sailing at SoPYC on Friday 8 June 2018
|
|
Thank you to all those brave souls who ventured down to SoPYC in anticipation of a sail on the 25th. As you are no doubt aware conditions were absolutely diabolical. The combination of the very high storm tide and strong north wind saw waves crashing over the protective groyne making sailing impossible.
|
However, Mark and Rod Popham took their ‘Dragon Flyte 95s’ into the Heritage room and had a good discussion with several of the interested people that turned up. Considering the weather, it was a good first time showing.
|
It’s hoped that we can try again on Friday the 8th June with sailing commencing at 2.00pm.

Swan River Channel Closures
|
|
Dear River User/ Resident/ Commercial user,
|
Re: Swan River Channel Closures for Matagarup Bridge
|
Please be advised that construction work for Matagarup Bridge requires an extension to the current closure of the Swan River navigation channel between Burswood and East Perth.
The installation of the bridge decks is now the main component of work to be completed, after the lifting of the main arches during April and May. This requires the continued use of anchor lines and cables in and across the navigation channel.
The extension of the current closure has been approved by the Department of Transport (DoT) to protect worker and public safety.
The Swan River Pedestrian Bridge Alliance (SRPBA) is working to reopen the channel as soon as possible, targeting mid-June at the latest, with a confirmed date to be advertised on Main Roads website.
We regret that until that time, the river will remain closed to all vessels, 300m to the north and 300m to the south of the bridge piers. This closure also applies to recreational use including the use of kayaks, jet skis and canoes.
The closures are marked by signage and rows of navigational buoys. Spotter boats are in place to patrol the closure points and make sure no vessels enter the restricted zone.
SRPBA would like to thank commercial and recreational river users for your cooperation with this closure. We sincerely regret the need to extend the disruptions and ask for your continued understanding.
