Hi,
Im coming back to dinghy after spending some years out in the keelboat wilderness..
What I need to know is what clubs around the Northern end of Port Phillip Bay actively race Sabres? Is Elwood a good place to start? How about Williamstown or will I have to venture down to Black Rock for a look in?
Any help would be very much appreciated as I have agreed to buy a sabre and now need somewhere to sail and store the boat (possibly the wrong order to do things in but the opportunity was there…)
Cheers,
Chris.

The clubs that come to mind are Albert SC & Albert Park YC on the lake (both these look like being seriously affected by shrinking water levels soon); Williamstown and Altona in the west; Elwood and Black Rock in the north(ish); Mordialloc a bit South. Other inland venues are Lake Sugarloaf S&BC in the north-east or Lysterfield SC in the east.
Black Rock will offer the strongest competition if that is your bent.
Storage is going to be your problem; some clubs have extensive capacity but it is usually at the end of a long, long waiting list.
I suggest you visit clubs that interest you, check out the storage possibilities, parking, fleet numbers and fee structure.
