In my experience, this has been one of the most disappointing clubs in Australia. Be extremely cautious—if you find yourself on the wrong side of the committee for any reason, even for matters unrelated to the club itself, you risk being expelled without fair process.
Financial issues appear to be looming at the club, and I felt they tried to recoup costs from members unfairly. In my case, my boat was left out of the water due to their Tammy lift being broken.

All agreed, it was a fantastic shore excursion.
