Are you the owner of Walpole Yacht Club?
Welcome to the Walpole Yacht Club! The club has a rich history, starting in 1956 when local boat builder Terry Swarbrick purchased a small yacht and sailed it with friends from Walpole. This sparked the community's interest in sailing, leading to the establishment of the club in 1958. Today, it is located at Coalmine Beach on the Nornalup Inlet, surrounded by the stunning Karri, Red Flowering Gum, and weeping Peppermint Trees of the Walpole Nornalup National Park.
What sets the Walpole Yacht Club apart is its unique location in the middle of a Marine Park, making it the only yacht club in Australia with such a distinction. Sailors from all around the world consider it one of the top 10 sailing locations globally. The Nornalup Inlet itself is renowned for its beauty and untouched natural wilderness environment, with the Frankland and Deep rivers flowing into it. Canoeists particularly appreciate these rivers, which offer a captivating experience.
In addition to sailing, the club promotes various other water activities, including swimming, canoeing, fishing, and power boating. The Walpole Yacht Club has a strong support system from the Walpole community, as well as the surrounding areas of Manjimup and Denmark Shires. Its long and prosperous history is a testament to the community's love and respect for the club.
One of the club's notable events is the Walpole 'In the Trees' Regatta, held every March during the Labour Day long weekend. This event showcases the club's ability to organise and host successful regattas. If you're travelling to Australia or any other part of the world, the Walpole Yacht Club and the surrounding area should be on your must-visit list. To truly experience all the club and the community have to offer, plan to spend one to two weeks exploring the stunning natural waterways and forests.
In conclusion, the Walpole Yacht Club is a thriving sports club nestled in the heart of the Walpole Nornalup National Park. With its unique location, strong community support, and wide range of activities, it is a must-visit destination for sailing enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
