Women's Sportsboat Regatta

Join us for the highly anticipated BYS Women’s Sportsboat Regatta, hosted by the Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron on the picturesque waters of southern Port Philip on March 15th and 16th, 2025.

Returning for its thrilling third edition, the BYS Women’s Sportsboat Regatta sets the stage for a riveting display of sportsboat fleet racing, proudly led by female sailors. Say goodbye to ownership barriers as competitors take to the water aboard provided J/70s, engaging in sprint-series-style racing with on-water umpiring ensuring close racing and fair play. With twelve coveted team entries up for grabs and six J/70s at the ready, teams will swap boats for each adrenaline-fueled race session.

Last year’s inaugural event drew ten impressive entries, including teams travelling from Sydney (RYPA and RSYS), as well as local contenders from Blairgowrie and around Port Philip Bay.

Prepare to be inspired at Saturday’s ‘Sailing Dreams’ dinner, where distinguished guest speakers will share their remarkable journeys to sailing success and fulfilling dreams.

The BYS Women’s Sportsboat Regatta proudly champions the Australian Sailing SheSails pathway, celebrating the spirit and prowess of Women and Girls in sailing. Don’t miss your chance to be part of the action!
