Royal South Australian Yacht Squadron

The RSAYS was established on November 1, 1869, by a group of yachting enthusiasts in South Australia. It was initially called the South Australian Yacht Club.

Royal Patronage: In 1890, the club received royal patronage from Queen Victoria, which allowed it to add "Royal" to its name, becoming the Royal South Australian Yacht Squadron.

Originally located at Birkenhead on the Port River, the club moved to its current location at Outer Harbor in 1926, providing members with better facilities and access to the sea.

The clubhouse has been a central feature of the RSAYS, serving as a social hub and a place for all to gather and celebrate their shared passion for yachting.
