Commercial Ships\, Commercial Fishing fleets\, cruising and sports fishing vessels\, Tugs\, Sailing yachts\, super yachts and the list goes on. \nThe biggest joy in my career while working for other marine electronics companies was turning on a customer’s freshly installed or re-calibrated system and showing them features or possibilities they never knew existed. That “wow that’s cool” reaction got me up in the morning and kept me awake at night thinking of other things I could have done to make that boat even better. \nJust as important however is helping those same customers avoid the pitfalls associated with these systems. knowing what not or when not to install is often what separates a good technician from the bad. \nWith the technology advancing every day and the range of equipment getting so far spread that it could make your head spin\, it’s becoming even more important to have trained professionals assisting you with your marine systems.” \n  \n  URL:https://www.rqys.com.au/event/topic-talks-unlock-the-power-of-modern-fishing-tech-with-ocean-logic/ LOCATION:RQYS Auditorium\, 578 ROYAL ESP\, MANLY QLD 4179\, MANLY\, QLD\, 4179\, Australia CATEGORIES:Homepage Featured,Information event,Social,Special Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.rqys.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Topic-Talks-Scott-Harradine-1920x10802-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron":MAILTO:events@rqys.com.au END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20260419T090000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20260419T113000 DTSTAMP:20260502T021048 CREATED:20260219T052546Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260401T073750Z UID:10007316-1776589200-1776598200@www.rqys.com.au SUMMARY:Generations of RQ Brunch DESCRIPTION:TICKETS ON SALE NOW!   \nAre you an RQYS Member with a child who is a Junior Member?  Or perhaps your Father is also a Member?  Maybe your Grandfather was a Member and now you and your wife are Members?  Whatever the mix\, you’re invited to a special RQYS first! \nFor the very first time\, we invite multi-generational Members and their families to celebrate their tenure and loyalty to our club.  Grandparents through to Grandchildren are invited to celebrate at a gourmet brunch in the Flags Room.  Show your pride in belonging to Queensland’s most prestigious and oldest sailing club! \nEven if you all can’t make it\, you’re invited to come along and be part of history.   We hope to see a representative of your family on this very special occasion\, celebrating you! \nKnow of people who should be there? \nWe are aware that there are some families with multiple generations with current membership\, but we need your help!  Technology has improved greatly over the years\, but with the constant changes\, there is a chance we don’t know about all of them – especially if they have different surnames. \nHelp us to ensure everyone who is entitled to attend is invited by completing the form HERE. \nWe look forward to celebrating with your family on this special occasion!

An avid sailor\, Ian was shocked and disgusted by the pollution and rubbish that he continually encountered in the oceans of the world. Taking matters into his own hands in 1989\, Ian organised a community event called ‘Clean Up Sydney Harbour’ with the support of a committee of friends. He expected just a few hundred volunteers. Instead\, 40\,000 people showed up\, sparking a national movement. \nOcean Crusaders is partnering with us this year!  It was founded in 2010 after founder Ian Thomson was confronted with the reality of seeing turtles killed by ocean waste. After a record breaking circumnavigation of Australia\, Ian decided to take action – to create the foundation to clean-up waterways and beaches and raise awareness of the problem with the people who use the oceans as a playground. \nYou will have noticed their blue wheelie bins for bottle recycling around the Squadron\, and equipment bins located all along the Esplanade with kit to clean up our foreshore all year around: \n      \n  \nHere at RQYS\, we believe in both group’s vision and are especially passionate about our beautiful marina and foreshore in Manly\, Brisbane.   Join us for a family-friendly morning collecting around the grounds of RQYS\, Inspiration Point/Dog Beach\, Davenport Drive and the Esplanade from Lota to Manly. \nIf you love Manly as much as we do\, let’s keep it beautiful together.  RSVP below and come along on Sunday\, 1st March 2026 and sign-in at Reception.   We will have a prize for the most rubbish collected (by weight) and a free sausage sizzle afterward as a reward for your efforts! \nWe hope you will bring the kids\, grandparents\, neighbours and more and join us for this special community event. \nProudly supported by The Yacht Sales Co. and Ocean Crusaders URL:https://www.rqys.com.au/event/clean-up-australia-day-2026/ LOCATION:Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron\, 578 ROYAL ESP\, MANLY QLD 4179\, MANLY\, QLD\, 4179\, Australia CATEGORIES:Social,Special Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.rqys.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Newsletter-Banner-Clean-up-Australia-Day-2026.png ORGANIZER;CN="Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron":MAILTO:events@rqys.com.au GEO:-27.457717;153.187072 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron 578 ROYAL ESP MANLY QLD 4179 MANLY QLD 4179 Australia;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=578 ROYAL ESP\, MANLY QLD 4179:geo:153.187072,-27.457717 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20260228T180000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20260228T193000 DTSTAMP:20260502T021048 CREATED:20260217T045236Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260218T035735Z UID:10007315-1772301600-1772307000@www.rqys.com.au SUMMARY:Brisbane Women's Keelboat Cup - Networking Event DESCRIPTION:Are you a sailor looking to connect with other women who sail?
