Woollahra Sailing Club is the proud home of the ‘Sail Play Live Across Sydney Harbour’ Festival, showcasing the best of high performance dinghy racing and youth sailing in Australia.

The I14 National Championships, Australian 9er Championships and International 420 Championships will kick off the festival from the first – eighth of January, with the Australian Youth Championships following on from the ninth to fourteenth of January.

The events are expected to attract national and international sailors looking to test their skills in traditional Sydney seabreezes. Classes will be rotated over four course areas, from Kirribilli to Middle Head allowing multiple vantage points around the Harbour Foreshore.
