Skipper Andrew McGrath and his double-handed crew member, Ben Thompson, took out the clean sweep! 1st AMS, ORC, PHS and the double-handed. Congrats guys!
Sail Peninsula 2025 Regatta is on again !
Preparations are well underway for another great Sail Peninsula event. 21st-23rd February. NOR and SailsSys entries will be available soon.
This year we have partnered with Bambak Recycled Sails. Bambak take old sails that are destined for landfill, ship them over to Vanuatu where they are recycled into bags. This not only keeps sails out of landfill but provides much needed employment and community support in Vanuatu. It is a great initiative that SBSC are proud to support.
To kick of our partnership Bambak have generously offered SBSC members a discount on their great range of products. See the flyer below and check them out at http://www.bambak.co

Melbourne to Hobart ‘Westcoaster’ (Friday 27 December)
The ORCV ‘Westcoaster’ is a legendary yacht race where tactics and sailing well can crown you as the race champion, regardless of boat size. Across the 435nm passage, yachts contend first with Bass Strait before taking on the wilderness and ruggedness of the West Coast of Tasmania and the long ocean swell of the Southern Ocean before turning towards the finish line and the shifting winds of the Derwent. For more than 50 years, the Westcoaster has provided sailors with a unique race full of tactical challenges.
Early-bird entries close on 10 November! Enter here:

For 2025, the ORCV’s traditional race to the historic and picturesque port of Port Fairy has been rescheduled to mid-February, taking advantage of more favourable weather conditions and providing a feeder race for yachts planning participate in the 75th Adelaide to Port Lincoln race.
The 135 mile course runs SW from Queenscliff past the coastal resorts of Torquay, Anglesea, Lorne and Apollo Bay, before rounding Cape Otway and entering the southern ocean. It’s also Valentines Day, so what better what better way to celebrate your one true love – sailing! Enter here:
