TOP OF THE LAKE REGATTA 2024: REGISTER NOW
If you don't feel like hanging up your sailing boots for the winter, then this is the regatta for you! The Albert Sailing Club Top of the Lake Regatta is on again in June and, with a full lake, promises to be bigger and better than ever. So come and join us for this popular winter event, and see if you can be the 'Top of the Lake'.
Racing Details
The regatta will run over 2 days (June 22 and 23) and is open to all mono-hull yachts < 5.5metres in length. The event will see short-course racing at the scenic Albert Park Lake, South Melbourne. The lake provides safe, relatively flat (no waves) sailing, but challenges sailors with wind changes and gusts due to its shallow depth, the island in the middle and the trees and buildings surrounding the race area. Racing will commence with the warning signal at 13.12 p.m. on Saturday June 22 and at 10.27 a.m. on Sunday June 23.
All competitors are required to be a current member of a Sailing Club and have a current Australian Sailing Number. If you or your crew member do not meet these requirements, please notify us on the registration form.
Information for Junior Green Fleet Sailors
Junior Green Fleet sailors need to nominate that they will participate as Green Fleet Sailors on the registration form. Green Fleet Sailors will race in a specific Green Fleet Division. The Organising Authority reserves the right to cancel racing for Junior Green Fleet sailors on any day of the regatta should wind and racing conditions be considered unsuitable for Junior Green Fleet sailors. If that occurs, a full refund for the cancelled days will be given to those registrants.

Club Facilities and Catering
The canteen upstairs in the clubhouse will operate over the lunch period on Saturday and lunches should be pre-ordered and paid for upon arrival at the club to guarantee availability. Sunday's lunch break may be relatively brief to allow racing to recommence as soon as possible. A café is located a short distance from the Clubhouse.
A barbecue will be available on the club balcony after sailing on Saturday and hot nibbles will be provided after sailing on Sunday. Both are included in the registration fee.
Changerooms are available for males and females, but the club currently has no specific all-abilities or gender neutral facilities.
There is no lift access to the upper level of the clubhouse.
For any queries, please email admin@albertsc.org.au or contact the regatta organiser, Cindy Tilbrook, on 0438 988 772.
