The Keelboat Club

The RPSA Keelboat Club offers a welcoming and inclusive community for sailors of all experience levels. We operate two club keelboats at Reed Point Marina and offer supported sailing sessions, hands-on maintenance opportunities, social events, and guest speakers that provide ongoing learning and shared knowledge.

The club is designed to support skipper development while recognizing that club boats are a shared resource. All membership levels currently have openings, and new members are welcome.

Membership Expiry: December 31, 2026

All keelboat memberships include full Old Mill Boathouse Society member benefits.
