The Kurnell Catamaran Club Incorporated (KCC) was established in 1972
and
caters for "off the beach catamaran" and "cruising multihull" racing
and social sailing. We are a fun, family oriented Club that caters
for the less experienced and expert sailors alike. The Club
generally sails between September and the end of April each year on
most weekends. (Refer to the
Race Calendar
for the current sailing program). The Club has a large clubhouse
on the corner of Ward Street and Prince Charles Parade at
Kurnell, Sydney Australia and holds a restricted alcohol license
(members and bona-fide visiting sailors only). The Club has long
term boat storage for members
in two boat yards (one storing mast down and one storing mast up).
The Club sails in the waters of Botany Bay and has easy launch off
the beach in front of the clubhouse at Silver Beach. A twin hulled
Webster 5.2 aluminium support vessel and zodiac/rubber duckys in contact via radio to the
clubhouse assist with race starts and general racing/sailing on
sailing days. The Club, on sailing days, is always manned with an Officer of the Day,
Boat Captain and Boat Crew and at least one Race
Committee/Executive Committee member
onsite. Some of the "off the beach" classes sailing at KCC
include "A" Class, F16s, F18s, Hobiecat, Maricats, NACRAs,
Paper Tigers,
Stingrays, Taipans, Tornados, Windrush and others are always welcome.
Additionally the Club now has a Junior Monohull Division sailing
in
O'pen Skiff boats. This class targets junior sailors under 16
years of age, but particularly those between about 7 and 13
years. The Club has about 10-12 boats sailing in this class, including
three
boats that the Club owns (donated by Caltex Oil Refinery, now
Ampol) and
lends out on junior sailing days. For further information about
KCC,
