About our Club The Hartley TS 18 - 21 Yacht Club is devoted to the Richard Hartley designed TS18 and TS 21 Trailer Sailers. However we encourage owners of any other class of trailerable yacht to join the club and participate in our activities.
We are a very mixed bunch of seafarers with many of our new members wanting to upgrade from a dinghy and have a more family friendly yacht.
We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of every month for a committee and general meeting and get together, often with guest speakers.
As well travelled trailer sailors we do not have an official club house, which has the benifit of keeping our fees very low. The meetings are always held in a friendly, central location.
It is a safe, seaworthy classic wooden boat design, has a large following and is well respected amongst the sailing fraternity.
Very friendly yacht club.
No problems with mooring fees or worry about mooring security.
Low maintenance costs, no anti-fouling or bottom cleaning.
Shallow draft make for ease of exploring creeks and estuaries.
Lift up keel allows simple overnight beaching for camping.
A TS18 can sleep 2 adults + 2 children, a TS 21 can sleep 4 adults.
Easily towed by a Falcon or a Commodore.
