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.

History Snippet – “Elke Sager - a FCC Champion” Elke Sager appeared in our “Tokyo Olympics – a Paddler Report” where she was included in a photo alongside our FCC representatives – Marg Buck, Vid Juricskay & Fred Wasmer. As you will discover in this snippet, Elke was so very nearly a member of this team as well.
