Sadly and unexpectedly Libby Quinlan- Watson passed away on Tuesday June 23rd, 2026. Libby sailed for many years out on Guichen Bay with her late husband Bill in their Corsair. Libby was involved in the annual Long Beach New Year’s Eve fundraisers raising funds for the Club House and got to enjoy many social occasions there over the years.
A Celebration of Libby’s beautiful life will be held at the Robe Bowling Club at 2.30pm on Monday the 20th of July. All welcome. Feel free to dress brightly or a touch of floral. You can now rest with Bill. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to Dementia Australia.

Social sailing on Saturday was great fun with a few boats on water. Crew shuffled around to get a good sail in .

The coarse - very simple - marina to the corals and back .

Winds were light but just enough to shake the hanky’s out and get boats back by lunch time .

Thanks to all sailors attending and looking forward to this coming Saturday- meet 8am boat ramp carpark.

Social sailing is on tomorrow morning 8am at boat ramp car park

Social sailing was a great time - winds nice and breezy around 12 knot , flat seas with a small swell.

We had 2 boats on the water with a loose coarse starting from marina - first ramp long beach - run to 3rd ramp with a nice reach back to marina by 1130am just before the wind jacked up.

Thankyou to all sailor’s attending.

Bring your boat next week on Saturday mornings- meet @ robe boat ramp 8am weather permitting.

Mike and Ali were joint secretaries from 1997 - 2002, Mike is the current Commodore - a position he has held since 2003. Ali is the current secretary- a position she has held since 2003. They have both
co-ordinated the Learn to sail programme for many decades, have been involved in Club House hire and they both continue to organise the annual Shindigs and Presentation nights. This is in addition to putting out the weekly buoys and working on general Club and rescue boat maintenance. You are both a fantastic Team and thank you for all of the dedication, commitment, service, time and the hard work you both continue to do for the Robe Yacht Club.
