Use of the Ramp, Pontoon and Jetty

The ramp, pontoon, and jetty, located adjest to the Woollahra Sailing Club, is owned, operated, and managed by Transport for NSW (TfNSW).  The Club has a licence to use the facility.  Under that licence the Club has an obligation to maintain the facility and keep it safe.
The ramp and pontoon are available to the public.  However, the only approved public use is the launching and retreival of dinghies on hand held trailers.  The Club and Club members have the same access rights as the public.
The advice from TfNSW is that the pontoon may be used for drop off and pick up.  Maximum mooring time is 15 minutes.  Vessels must not be left unattended.  Vessels left unattended may be fine.  Further, the ramp and pontoon are available to the public for non for profit purposes only.  Commercial use of the ramp, pontoon, or jetty is not permitted and may result in

Please see below the latest advice from Australian Sailing and NSW Department of Health.  In short this advice is a recommendation that if you live outside Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs you should not attend competitive activities at the Club until after 30 September.  This is disappointing, however, we are obligated to pass on the advise.

Do not attend the Club if you have visited Victoria or any of these Sydney hotspots in the last 14 days.
The Club is principally operating as a storage facility with Club racing and some limited training courses.  The Club toilets and changerooms are open.  The Club cafe and all other internal facilities are closed.  This is in accordance with NSW Public Health Orders and cannot be avoided.  The situation is constantly changing. Please read the COVID-19 Policy in full before each
