The day is set to be a great opportunity for the community to join in the celebrations with a coffee van, bar and food available.

There will also be historic displays and the venue will also play host to Marine Rescue, Maritime and Water Police and a band which will commence at 11am.

As the day unfolds it is anticipated that plenty of memories will be told and a few yarns will be spun as well.

Just after midday the gathering will move to the “starters caravan” at Soldiers Point Boat Ramp where the fleet will sail past with commentary on the boats, their skippers and achievements.

At 1.30pm the band recommences at the clubhouse where the bar will remain open for members and club guests.

Commodore Michael Kirby told News Of The Area, “PSYC would like to welcome all life members, members, commodores and visitors to our clubhouse at Soldiers Point to join in our celebrating 50 years of social and competitive sailing in the pristine environment of Port Stephens.”
