Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron (BYS) is excited again host the Petersville Regatta for 2019. Historically, the Petersville Regatta attracted keel boat owners from surrounding yacht clubs and was held from 1981 – 1990 before the race was combined with Geelong Week. Successful boats who featured in the historical race include Shambles and Dry Reach skippered by R.Hick and subsequently G.Matthews, both of whom were the most successful boat competitors during the history of the event.
