2014’s XXXX Sail Paradise Regatta was the Inaugural regatta for Alive 'Last year had great memories for me and the crew. Southport Yacht Club always put on a great, fun Regatta and we were ecstatic to be back for (XXXX) Sail Paradise 2015' said skipper Duncan Hine.
'The boat has just arrived back in Brisbane after 2014’s Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, and is great practice for us leading into the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race next month. We look forward to coming back next year to defend our title for a third year' Duncan added.
The largest fleet in this year’s XXXX Sail Paradise Regatta with 12 yachts was Monohull Performance Racing, Paul Laurence on GiddyUp won the division with Fourlove and Rumba closely behind in second and third place.
Glenn Burrell’s Nyssa won the Monohull Cruising and Julian Griffiths skipper of The Boat Works.
Southport Yacht Club enjoys every aspect of this event, on water and back in the Club. It’s an amazing showcase of the Gold Coast as our stunning backdrop and look forward to having the yachts return for XXXX Sail Paradise 2016!
