Ray McMahon: 0 to 500 races a year, building a yacht club

from Ocean Sailing Podcast · host David Hows

In this episode we interview Ray McMahon, director of the Southport Yacht Club in the month the club celebrates its 70th birthday. Despite 70 years of history, offshore keelboat yacht racing only gathered momentum at the Southport Yacht Club in the past decade. The Southport Yacht Club is located on the edge of the Broadwater at Main Beach, near Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia. We retrace the birth of yacht racing at SYC and discover how a few passionate volunteers founded, what has grown into a successful club that hosts more than 500 races a year today.
