We're welcoming group dinner bookings of 15–50 people, with two easy dining options on Thursday & Friday evenings.

No phones, just good company and plenty of laughs! 🍻

Last nights unplugged night at BRYC, where the conversation was flowing and the phones stayed in pockets 👀

Meet our new Commodore, Nik Wallis! ⛵

After 45 years at BRYC, Nik knows a thing or two about the club!

Last Saturday, Nik officially opened the new sailing season as Commodore, adding another chapter to his long history with BRYC.

A familiar face around the clubhouse, Nik is also one very dedicated handyman volunteering regularly and lending a hand fixing, building and keeping the club in shape.

When asked what he's most proud of at BRYC, his answer was simple: the volunteers who help the club. A fitting answer from someone who's given so much of his own time over the years.

Get to know Nik a little better in his Commodore profile below!

Here’s to a great season ahead with Nik at the helm,

Thank you to everyone who made our first Oktoberfest event such a hit! 🍺

We were lucky enough to get beautiful weather including a gorgeous night by the bay while Allan Skea on the guitar and our very own club managers games kept us entertained!

From b**r skulling competitions, free pretzels, well dressed members and some very enthusiastic yodelling, you all certainly got into the Oktoberfest spirit!

A big thank you to everyone who came down, dressed up, joined in the games, enjoyed the food and drinks, and helped make it such a great night. A special thanks to Coopers for supporting the event and shouting our thirsty crowd a round!

We've got some very good videos coming your way, so keep an eye out… 👀

Already looking forward to doing it all again next year!

Thanks for making it such a great night,

The BRYC Team💙
