Port Bouvard Yacht Club

About Port Bouvard Yacht Club

Where the Dawesville Cut meets the Harvey Estuary, on the waterway's southeast corner, a young club has built a sailing culture around two craft most organisations would never pair: racing yachts and outrigger canoes. Port Bouvard Yacht Club bills itself as a club "for Sail and Outrigger Canoe," and it operates not as a standalone body but as a division of the Port Bouvard Recreation and Sporting Club Incorporated, sharing the broader community facility at 1 Thisbe Drive, Dawesville. The geography places it twenty kilometres south of Mandurah and about eighty kilometres south of Perth, on the foreshore of the Mandurah estuary system, with the clubhouse outlook sweeping down the Harvey Estuary — panoramic, in the club's own assessment. The Australian Flying Fifteen class association dates the club's establishment to the late 1990s, making it one of the younger sailing organisations in Western Australia, though the exact founding year does not appear in the public record. Seven Flying Fifteens are registered at the club, giving it a meaningful stake in that classic keelboat class, and the fleet mix extends well beyond it. Office bearers listed by the club have included Commodore Kevin Spark, with Jason Brouwer serving as Vice Commodore, William Smith as Rear Commodore and Warren Keating as Treasurer, while the club's 2026 AGM news named Dave Darn as Commodore — evidence of the ordinary, healthy turnover of volunteer leadership. Membership administration runs through the Majestri platform, race results go up on the club website, and the AGM has flagged a search for a sales and marketing person to promote the club and chase grants for growth.
