Experience the thrill of being on the start line with hundreds of other yachts. This regatta is the fastest growing sailing event in Australia with a 600% growth in entries since it began 5 years ago.

We will be racing aboard the Beneteau First 40 'Iago' with the full wardrobe of kevlar sails in the natural breathtaking beauty of Port Stephens - the dolphin capital of Australia! The regatta is on 19th-21st April, with a training day in Port Stephens on the 18th and a day in Sydney in early April. There is more fun off the water with social events at the Point Collette Sailing. Cost is $1295 for the 2 days of training plus the 3 day regatta. You are welcome to join the crew for the milebuilder trip back to Sydney on 22-23rd at no extra cost (usual cost $350).
