The food at this club is simply amazing. You even have the option of grilling your own fish, steak, or sausages. Whenever there's a special, go with the special. It never disappoint. If you get an invite from a member to come sailing, do it! Remember to wear boat shoes or white soled shoes. Bring some drinks for your gracious host.

This is a private-member sailing club at Kirribilli north of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. If you're fortunate enough to be a member, or a guest of a member, you are certain to enjoy this fine dining experience. The monthly buffet is outstanding - a selection of seafood, salads and a Carvery followed by the most amazing deserts. There's also a more informal restaurant on the lower levels which is heaving on a Friday night after twilight sailing in summer.

Amazing place with a great history and the food and wine was great. The oysters are a must. You have to be with a member or be a member.

This is one incredible location. Great history adorns the walls. The only downside? It's not open to the public. The food was fantastic and the staff super helpful. I enjoyed the blue eye cod and asparagus salad quite a bit. The beef tenderloin of my sponsor/member was quite good, I'm told. And the view up the Sydney harbor is world class.

Sydney Flying Squadron (SFS) is the original home of the famous Sydney Harbour sailing skiff class, the 18-footers. The Sydney Flying Squadron Yacht Club was founded by Mark Foy in 1891.  He promoted a vision of open boat sailing with broad popular appeal for spectators and open to all sailors, regardless of financial background. In doing so, he challenged the gentlemanly sailing conventions of the day, particularly by having coloured sails and prize money!

A fleet of replica boats from early 1900s up to the 1940s race each Saturday from October through to Easter each year. They are built and sailed using skills no longer practiced. These boats provide an insight into how sailing used to be almost a century ago.

“Friends of the Squaddie”

Following the work carried out by the Amalgamation Sub-Committee appointed by the SFS Board to examine the Amalgamation proposal, a majority of members of that Sub-Committee have formed the Friends of the Squaddie to campaign for the Amalgamation to be rejected by SFS members.

See the documents that the sub-committee provided to the SFS board on 12-Feb-2024 here:  

Amalgamation between Sydney Flying Squadron and Double Bay 18-footer League

The Board of the Sydney Flying Squadron (SFS) has decided to postpone the Amalgamation Member Vote from the proposed date of 16th March, 2024 to a date to be set in late April or May, 2024.

Welcome to Australia’s oldest open boat sailing club

The Sydney Flying Squadron today still enshrines much of Foy’s vision. The Historic 18-Footers race with coloured insignia to enable spectators to distinguish each skiff in following the races. They sail courses in view of a ferry of onlookers following the race, and a timed handicap start enables a thrilling, first-over-the-line finish for the ferry patrons. These unique wooden boats keep alive the skills and excitement of boats you would normally only see in a museum.

From early October to Easter, the SFS sails the Historic 18-foot skiffs on Saturdays. The Club also hosts other open boat or skiff classes, such as the 12 footers. A dedicated spectator ferry runs on Saturdays during the sailing season, providing a magnificent harbour cruise while following the 18-footers’ racing. It is easily the best value, and most visually exciting cruise on our magnificent harbour!

Situated at the end of Careening Cove, Kirribilli, the Sydney Flying Squadron clubhouse enjoys spectacular water views and is situated next to Milsons Park which provides a large grassy rigging area. It is a great sight on Saturday mornings in summer, when the Historic 18-footers are rigged on the lawn, before launching down the ramp next to the Club for the afternoons’ racing.

Facilities include a boatshed, wharf, balcony, bar and the stunningly refurbished Foy’s Kirribilli Restaurant – the perfect location for all your social events. A café operates on the lower deck, accessed from Milsons Park.

Membership is open to sailing and social members and offers the best value of all amongst Sydney Sailing Clubs. The location cannot be bettered.

See you there!

Renewals are now open for 23/24. Beyond access to our historic Club, Membership gets you:

$50 food and beverage birthday voucher, 10% off across the menu*, discounted merchandise and ferry tickets, exclusive member events throughout the year, *not in conjunction with any other offer; excludes functions.
