Welcoming Representatives for FSC Cruising Section: Stacey Blake, David George and Ian Joel.

FREMANTLE OVERVIEW

This beautiful coastal port city, bounded by the Indian Ocean and the Swan River, is just 20 km from Perth. The City

of Fremantle was established in 1829 as a port for the Swan River Colony and was the major city in Western Australia

for much of its early history.

Fremantle's unique character is captured by its landscape, its heritage architecture, music, arts and culture, festivals,

retail stores and markets, cafés and restaurants, which all contribute to its village style atmosphere - making it a

popular destination for local and international visitors.

FREMANTLE SAILING CLUB OVERVIEW

The Fremantle Sailing Club (FSC) is situated at Success Harbour and is historic in that it held races between Cutters

along the South Fremantle foreshore and the main harbour from 1879, and in 1906 conducted the first ocean race

in Western Australia from Mandurah to Bunbury.

The current Club site was developed in 1979 and covers 28 hectares of water and 6 hectares of reclaimed land.

FSC has boat pens for 677 boats with town water, power and telephone facilities available. Ample provision is made

for slipping and lifting of crafts.

Access to Success Harbour is via a single entrance with separation marks (outer mark 32º04’S 115º44’).

The Collector Jetty is for recreational vessels and is in Success Harbour.
