Rosebud Yacht Club
Rosebud Yacht Club is a family-friendly club for off-the-beach sailing on Port Phillip Bay, and relies on its members to contribute to the continuing development and operation of the Club. This involvement promotes the friendly culture of the Club and ensures responsiveness to members' needs.
Although Rosebud Yacht Club has traditionally been a family friendly sailing club, our future aim is to be more inclusive of all non-powered water craft, including off-the-beach sailing, kiteboarding and windsurfing.

The Club consists of 4 main areas - the clubhouse, the compound, the ramp and the container. Access by Members with keys is allowable at any time, members' guests and visitors are also welcome.
The Clubhouse - has a main covered area which is where we meet socially and on race days, hold briefings and other training or information sessions. This area also doubles as the storage area for the rescue craft and tractor. The clubhouse also contains male and female change rooms, showers and toilets, a kitchen, storeroom and the tower. The tower is out of bounds to members except those involved on duty or other legitimate business. Below the tower is a balcony area, "Wally's Landing", which may be used at any time. There is also a gas BBQ that is available for any member's use.
The Compound - is for boat and trailer storage, rigging and washing of boats. It may be used for repair work on boats and trailers, but should not be blocked to through traffic.
The Ramp area - is used to run boats and trailers up and down for launching, but should not be blocked. It is part of the beach.
