Hobson's Bay Yacht Club

The Hobson's Bay Yacht Club (HBYC), founded in 1888, is located right in the heart of Williamstown, Victoria. It is the home of the Endeavour Yacht Association of Victoria (EYAV), founded in 1969. The Endeavour yacht was designed in the 1960s by Reg Gardner, the Founding Commodore of the Botany Bay Yacht Club.

Hobsons Bay, named after Captain William Hobson, is a local government area formed mostly of the towns of Williamstown and Altona, located in the western suburbs of Melbourne.
