COMMODORE'S
GALA DINNER

Supporting Alfred's Community Sailing

You're Invited to the Commodore's Gala Dinner

in support of the Alfred’s Community Sailing Program | HANSA Class World Championship 2025

“sailing for everyone”

On Saturday 16 November, the club is holding the Commodore’s Gala Dinner in support of the Alfred’s Community Sailing Program (ACS) a special event to raise much-needed funds for the Alfred’s Community Sailing Program that continues to “Help people rehabilitate through sailing”.

The Alfred’s Community Sailing Program is supporting the 2025 HANSA Class World and International Championships that will see 150 competitors and their coaches and assistants to Pittwater. The World Championship and Para Olympic events will be hosted by RPAYC.

While generously supported by the RPAYC, ACS needs funds to enable the program to grow and continue to develop new initiatives to help people in need. In 2022 we raised $ 38,000 for 2024 the GOAL is $50,000.

The RPAYC will be transformed into a phenomenal, one-night-only, Ball Room.

The Gala Ball will include a superb 3-course dinner, silent and live auctions, and live entertainment.

Tickets are available for individual seats or book a corporate table, further details below.

We look forward to seeing you on the night.
