Sans Souci, St George Sailing Club

St George Sailing Club is located along Riverside Drive in the southern suburb of Sans Souci, at the mouth of the Georges River on Botany Bay. It was founded in 1897, making it one of the oldest sailing clubs in Australia. In the early 1960s the clubhouse had to relocate to the east to make way for construction of the new Captain Cook Bridge. The redevelopment of the clubhouse in 2022 was designed by Jon Jacka Architects and features boatsheds, sailing ramps, a waterfront restaurant, function room and two bars.
