About Kurnell Catamaran Club

The Kurnell Catamaran Club Incorporated (KCC) was established in 1967 as Port Hacking Catamaran Club, relocated and renamed to Kurnell Catamaran Club in 1972 and incorporated in 1986. You can read more about the history of the club here. The Club caters for "off the beach" catamarans, junior monohulls and "cruising multihulls" racing and social sailing. We are a fun, family oriented Club that caters for the less experienced and expert sailors alike.

The Club generally sails between early September and early May each year on most weekends. (Refer to the Race Calendar for the current sailing program). We have a large clubhouse on the corner of Ward Street and Prince Charles Parade at Kurnell, Sydney Australia and hold a restricted alcohol license (members and bona-fide visiting sailors only). There is long term boat storage for members in two boat yards (one storing mast down and one storing mast up) and a storage shed for junior monohull boats.

We sail in the waters of Botany Bay from Silver Beach at Kurnell, Sydney, Australia and have an easy launch off the beach in front of the clubhouse. A twin hulled Webster 5.2 aluminium support vessel and zodiac/rubber duckys in contact via VHF radio to the clubhouse assist with race starts and general racing/sailing. The Club, on sailing days, is always manned with an Officer of the Day, Boat Captain / Boat Crew and at least one Race Committee/Executive Committee member.

Some of the "off the beach" classes that sail at KCC include "A" Class, F16s, F18s, Hobiecat, Maricats, NACRAs, Paper Tigers, Stingrays, Taipans, Tornados, Windrush and others are always welcome.

Additionally the Club has a Junior Monohull Division sailing in O'pen Skiff and Laser monohulls. At our club, these classes target junior sailors under 16 years of age, but are  particularly focused on those between about 6 and 13 years of age. The Club has 15+ boats sailing regularly in these classes, including 10 boats that the Club owns (some donated by Caltex Oil Refinery, now Ampol). We lend these out to junior members on sailing days for a small nominal fee.
