Welcome to the Alfreds - Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club LUB - RPAYC
In the early 1970s an opportunity arose for
     Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club in the city to join
     The Sydney Club, formerly The Millions Club. By
     selling the city property, the Club could continue
     development at Pittwater while members using
     the city premises could be happily accommodated
     in the luxurious surroundings of The Sydney Club
     almost next door.
     The RPAYC Clubhouse was erected on Green
     Point together with four marina arms on the
     western side and additional hardstand areas.
     The Club is justifiably proud of its achievements,
     having come a long way over its 154-year
     existence. It has become a well-respected yacht
     club around the world and an integral part of the
