Do you like sailing in company, would you like to know the best spots to anchor, would you like to learn more about cruising or getting ready to cruise or do you want help to get the most out of your cruising?, If you answered yes to any one of these questions then the RQYS Sailing Cruising Group may be “The Group” for you. All members of RQYS are welcome to join us and share in a variety of events.
Presentations on boating-related subjects, trips to the Squadron’s Island retreat RQYS Canaipa, tours of historic locations, a traditional Christmas Party (or Christmas in July) and an extended Easter cruise are just some of the get-togethers enjoyed by the cruising groups. Increasingly, the Sail and Power groups are enjoying combined cruises together, both around Moreton Bay and beyond – sometimes as far as the southern Great Barrier Reef.
Some upcoming planned events for the 2025-2026 Season include:
Each month to various Moreton Bay anchorages (sometimes these cruises are associated with visits to Moreton Bay attractions, such as research centres, oyster farms, etc.)
Longer cruises to beautiful, secluded islands across the Bay or up North, organised by the Group or in conjunction with other RQYS groups
Informal cruises being undertaken in company by members of the Group.
Informal discussions on a Friday evening, ahead of the monthly cruise, covering a range of subjects associated with making cruising experiences more enjoyable and fun.
Informal sessions drawing on the experience from within the group.
When cruising sailors meet there is always the opportunity for a spontaneous and special social occasion, under a palm tree on a white sand beach with the waves lapping at your toes, on a boat enjoying a cocktail and nibbles with new and close friends ~ or wearing a black tie and board shorts for a celebration. These weekends are a great way to meet new people, have some fun and enjoy the company of other members.
