The MYC is the premier yachting club on the Sunshine Coast. Now in its 53rd year the club has made strides into turning around the participation levels of sailing on the coast through the introduction of innovative and fun events to complement its ongoing sailing program. 

The club runs weekly offshore and river racing for its members in addition to major state and national regattas. The club offers specialist sailing experiences for women and youth; and offers learn-to-sail program through the Australian Sailing Discover Sailing Program.

A key activity of the club is the development of young sailors from small dinghies into keel boats for the purpose of engaging them with sailing on a long-term basis, enhancing their sailing and social skills whilst having fun and gaining fitness.

Women represent only around 30% of the sailing community worldwide. MYC is proud to offer women the opportunity to hone their skills, growing confidence through the fun and supportive Women's Sailing Skills Development Program.

To support and grow these programs, the club owns four identical, 20-foot keel boats, called Elliott 6s. These boats are the same as those used in a number of clubs around Australia for youth and adult training and were the vessels used in the 2012 London Olympics for the Women's Matchracing event.

The boats are berthed at the Mooloolaba Marina and used on the river which is a wonderful viewing platform and social area which has assisted the club greatly to engage with those that have sailed before and those that want to try sailing, or those who would just like to watch and support the sailors.

The purpose of the Foundation is to raise funds to assist the club in maintaining and growing its member assets – start boat, mark boat, Elliott 6 training boats, and all racing equipment , to keep pace with the growing demand and to ensure it's ability to continue to offer and grow these opportunities for our locals.
