Getting here

The clubhouse is at 76 McDougall Street, Kirribilli, at the foot of the street on Careening Cove, beside Milson Park. Milsons Point station is 7 minutes' walk and the North Sydney ferry wharf at the end of High Street 7 minutes, and the map places every way in with the walk from each.

The clubhouse and the places a visitor arrives at, numbered as the list numbers them, each with its walk to the clubhouse drawn as a dashed line. Streets and the railway from OpenStreetMap.

Tap a number on the map for its details. A walk's minutes allow 75 metres a minute, a steady pace on Kirribilli's hills.

By train

T1 North Shore line trains from the city (Wynyard, Town Hall and Central) and from Chatswood and Hornsby stop here; Central Coast trains too. The station has lifts to both platforms. From the station it is 540 m to the clubhouse, about 7 minutes, by Ennis Road, Broughton Street, Willoughby Street and McDougall Street: the dashed line from 2 on the map.

By ferry

Three wharves are within a quarter of an hour's walk, two ferry routes between them, both from Circular Quay.

Milsons Point wharf (3 on the map), on Olympic Drive beside Luna Park: F4 Pyrmont Bay ferries, which run a loop from Circular Quay by way of Milsons Point, McMahons Point, Balmain East, Barangaroo and Pyrmont Bay, and some F3 Parramatta River ferries. 1050 m to the clubhouse, about 14 minutes, by Paul Street, Alfred Street South, Fitzroy Street, Broughton Street, Willoughby Street and McDougall Street.
North Sydney wharf, High Street (4 on the map), at the end of High Street, on Careening Cove: F5 Neutral Bay ferries from Circular Quay. The F5 runs a loop through Kirribilli, North Sydney, Neutral Bay and Kurraba Point, so the order of the stops depends on the sailing; Neutral Bay and Kurraba Point wharves are a longer walk and are not on the map. 520 m to the clubhouse, about 7 minutes, by High Street and Bradly Avenue.
Kirribilli wharf (5 on the map), off Holbrook Avenue at Kirribilli Point: F5 Neutral Bay ferries, the first stop out from Circular Quay on most sailings. 960 m to the clubhouse, about 13 minutes, by Holbrook Avenue, Carabella Street, Peel Street, Elamang Avenue and McDougall Street.

For a Saturday's racing the North Sydney wharf is the one to aim for: the F5 lands you on Careening Cove itself, and the walk round the head of the cove passes Milson Park to the clubhouse. Check the sailing on the trip planner: the F5 loop changes direction through the day, and weekend sailings are fewer than weekday ones.

By bus

Bus stops, Alfred Street South (6 on the map), the stops either side of Alfred Street South at the station: Routes 203, 209, 230, 286 and 287 from the lower North Shore and Mosman, the 150X and 154X expresses from the Northern Beaches, and the 269, as Transport for NSW's station map lists them. 610 m to the clubhouse, about 8 minutes, by Alfred Street South, Ennis Road, Broughton Street, Willoughby Street and McDougall Street.
Bus stop, Broughton Street (7 on the map), opposite the station: Route 269, the loop between North Sydney station and Kirribilli, which also stops along Carabella Street and Kirribilli Avenue. 410 m to the clubhouse, about 6 minutes, by Willoughby Street, Winslow Street and McDougall Street.

Which routes run on a given day, and when, is on the trip planner; the 269 loop is a weekday service on the timetables the club has seen.

On foot and by bicycle

From Milsons Point every way to the clubhouse is downhill at the end: Kirribilli's streets fall to the water, and McDougall Street ends at the club's gate. The Sydney Harbour Bridge footway and cycleway come down into Bradfield Park at Milsons Point, by the station, so a walker or a rider from the city joins the station's walk there.

By car, and parking

Being surveyed The club is recording what each parking sign in the streets round the clubhouse allows on a race day. Where a car can stay from rigging to the bar will be listed here, and marked on the map, when that is done.

What is known now. Most streets in Kirribilli and Milsons Point are short-term parking seven days a week, and the streets round the clubhouse, McDougall Street among them, are in North Sydney Council's resident permit Area 2: a resident's permit lets a car stay past the sign's limit, and nothing else does. The council publishes its map of the permit areas and which meters run on public holidays, but no map of the time limits: the signs are the only authority, and the council's own maps say so.

Luna park's car park on Northcliff Street, entered from Paul Street off Alfred Street South, is the nearest car park open to the public, a little north of Milsons Point wharf and about a quarter of an hour's walk from the clubhouse. Its rates are on Luna Park's site.
The council's car parks are in North Sydney, Neutral Bay, Crows Nest and Cremorne; none is in Kirribilli or Milsons Point.
Parking meters in Milsons Point and Kirribilli charge by the hour in the daytime and the evening, and some run on public holidays. Read the sign before you pay.

By boat

The harbour guide places the marina beside the clubhouse, the public ramp next to it and the courtesy mooring nearest the club, each with its distance.

Once here

Sailors sign on at the clubhouse; visiting sailors says how a crew from another club gets a ride. Foys Kirribilli, the restaurant, and the Flying Bear, the cafe, are on the wharf below the clubhouse, and the venue pages carry their hours.
