The Sunshine Coast Yacht Club (SCYC) will be reviving the much-loved Sunshine Coast Ocean Regatta on Monday 4th - Friday 8th August, 2014.
The renowned event will be once again held in the sparkling coastal waters off the Sunshine Coast between Noosa and Caloundra.
The original Sunshine Coast Regatta (SCOR) ran for 20 years through the 80s and 90s. It attracted huge names within the yachting industry, such as Hugh Treharne - the tactician of Australia’s winning America’s Cup team. In its prime, the prestigious event would host up to 60 boats, with hundreds more spectators gathered on the shore.
The SCYC is currently inviting owners of suitable racing and cruising yachts, multihulls and sportboats to enter SCOR 2014.
The event is perfectly timed for those wanting to do some short course racing after the Sydney to Southport Yacht Race, before heading up North to the Hamilton Island Race Week. It also offers an alternative to the longer Brisbane to Keppel Yacht Race for sailors wanting to do a shorter race this year.
Berths for visiting competing boats at Mooloolaba Marina will be available for the period Saturday 2nd August - Sunday 11th August at no charge.
Notice of Race and entry forms can be found in the Events Calendar section on www.scyc.net.au. Eligible boats may send entries to the SCYC Regatta Office, together with the required entry fee of $200.00, by 1700 hours on Friday 25th July 2014.
Come and enjoy a week of relaxing sailing with the family on the beautiful Sunshine SCYC website
