Australia Day is an opportunity for everyone to celebrate what being Australian means to them. For sailors, it is getting out on the water - be it on Sydney Harbours or any of the myriad of sailing clubs up and down the East Coast of NSW.
First held in 1837, the Australia Day Regatta is the oldest continuously run annual sailing event in the world. It includes a wide range of individual events, from ocean racers and classic gaff-riggers to radio-controlled yachts and historic skiffs.
The Regatta is open to every type of vessel from ocean racers and classic gaff-riggers to radio-controlled yachts and historic skiffs. No yacht is too large or small to enjoy this wonderful day afloat.
Spectators immerse themselves in the maritime spectacle from vantage points around the Harbour and enjoy the friendly competition and a display of skill and camaraderie, where the beauty of the waters met the heart of the nation.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Sydney Harbour, this iconic race invites everyone to witness a celebration of nautical prowess.
The Regatta is an event for people of all ages and abilities—welcoming anyone from any walk of life to get involved.
