Time Trialling

The Club’s premier power boating activity is Time Trialling, where skippers and navigators complete a course around Swan River navigation and safety marks at a nominated speed. Success is determined by accuracy, with points awarded for arriving early or late at designated checkpoints.

Time Trialling develops:

  • Boat handling and navigation skills
  • Knowledge of the Swan River
  • Teamwork between skipper and navigator
  • Safe and efficient boating techniques

Beyond the competition, the strong social atmosphere and camaraderie make Time Trialling one of the Club’s most rewarding boating activities.
