This year's Albert Sailing Club Regatta should be bigger and better than ever. The lake water level is good, the weed is being cut at the moment, and the weather forecast is looking great. So come and join us for this popular winter event.
Racing Details
The regatta will run over 2 days (June 25 and 26) 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 frequent 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 25 and at 10.27 a.m. on Sunday June 26.
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.

Club Facilities and Catering
The canteen upstairs in the clubhouse will operate over the lunch period on Saturday and Sunday and lunches should be pre-ordered 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 (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.
