Fairfield Canoe Club has a fantastic fleet available to our members, including a wide range of kayaks, canoes and polo boats. Our fleet includes single, double and quad boats ranging from stable beginner craft through to less stable racing craft.
FCC is a dynamic club on the banks of the Yarra River with a friendly club culture and rich history that spans 100 years. The club offers a successful four-week beginner course, regular training sessions, coaching, weekly e-News bulletin, access to a fleet of beginner and intermediate club-owned boats and allocated storage racks for private boats.
All FCC full members are equal members and must be shareholders in our cooperative. Full members can vote at our AGM and can stand for election to our Board of Management.

As we older members know too well, “…you only learn by experience but the problem is to survive the experience….”!
Well, tonight, I set out at about 5.00 PM, for a 45 minute paddle upstream to that footbridge 250m past the end of Zollie’s straight. I arrived home at about 8.00 PM.
From our occasional Sunday time trials to information about using club boats at races, we will help you get racing..
