Sail Sydney is Australia's premier regatta for 'Off the Beach' dinghy classes. Held annually on the waters of Sydney Harbour, this year Sail Sydney will take place from Tuesday 7 through to Monday 13 December.

Woollahra Sailing Club is proud to once again be the host club and official organisers of the event in partnership with Australian Sailing. The regatta began its life as a test event for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, and in recent years has grown to become the annual dinghy event with the largest number of participants in the Southern hemisphere.

This year’s event will be bigger and better than ever as we expand the number of classes, courses and extend the duration of the event.  Olympic classes will race during the week, Youth classes will run Thursday to Sunday, Junior classes will run Saturday to Monday and invited classes will run Saturday and Sunday. In addition, we are looking to make the event more exciting for young sailors by providing coaching clinics with recent world and Olympic champions as guest speakers.

We look forward to welcoming new and returning competitors and volunteers.  We wish to thank all the volunteers that contribute each year and help make this one of the premier dinghy racing events in Australia.  Sail Sydney remains a highlight event on the national racing calendar.

The event will feature a number of Performance Pathways Futures sailors, including Evie Saunders, Paige Caldecoat and Brooke Wilson.

“We have all been training very hard alongside the Australian Sailing Team and Australian Sailing Squad athletes this year,” said Wilson.

“Sail Sydney is one of our favourite events and we are all looking forward to racing.”

The Notice of Race and other details will be available in early July.  Visit the Sail Sydney website to see the latest details.
