The Women's Regatta will return to Double Bay Sailing Club in 2024. Stay tuned for updates.

Here are the highlights from 2022:

The Women’s Regatta was held on Saturday 3 December 2022 at Double Bay Sailing Club, an integral event for female ILCA / Laser sailors around Australia.

The one-day event included races on Sydney Harbour, great food, entertainment, and activities aimed at women of all ages who currently sail an ILCA / Laser dinghy, or are looking to return to racing.

Double Bay Sailing Club also ran a series of small-group training clinics in the weeks leading up to the event, focusing on improving sailing skills such as race starts, upwind technique, and downwind technique.

Entry fee until Sat 4 Nov is $60 (adults) / $40 (students & U18) which includes yoga, breakfast, workshops, racing, and cocktail reception.
Entry fee from 5 Nov - 2 Dec is $90 (adults) / $70 (students & U18).
Please note: entries will not be accepted after 5pm on 2 December.
