Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club

Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club (RPAYC) is one of Australia's leading yacht clubs with a strong elite sailing focus located in Pittwater Newport, New South Wales.

The club maintains an adjacent slipway, hardstand and other maintenance facilities on the northern shore of Crystal Bay.

Pittwater Division was formed as a result of a decision in 1919 to investigate alternatives to racing on the increasingly congested Sydney Harbour.

In 1969, the Rowe Street clubhouse was sold to finance development of the Pittwater premises.

While arrangements continued for some years for members to use the facilities of the Sydney Club in Rowe Street adjacent to the former city clubhouse, all remaining yachting activities were transferred to Pittwater.
