History of Sail Airlie

​Since becoming an annual event in 2009, the Whitsunday Sailing Club Easter Off the Beach regatta has become an important date in the calendar for many sailors across Queensland, with some coming all the way from Brisbane to complete.

Last year the regatta was restricted by major construction works  while the club was expanding to incorporate new Whitsunday Maritime Training Centre building.  The works are now nearing completion, with the building scheduled to be in full swing by Easter.  So come on down, bring the family, bring the boat, and most importantly, come to enjoy great fellowship ashore and competition on the water.

Sail Airlie Regatta

Once again , the Whitsunday Sailing Club will conduct the annual Sail Airlie regatta over the Easter period, 8 – 10 April 2023. This event attracts entrants from Tinaroo and Mission Beach down to Brisbane, and again hosts the North Queensland Laser Championship as well as the Sabot traveller series.  The event is also part of the CQ Challenge, a competition between clubs in the Central Queensland area. Competition is run over 3 or 4 separate course areas ranged from the high performance 29’er and off beach mulithulls, through to Lasers and similar dinghies, junior fleets and a green fleet, with competitors ranging from as young as 7 years of age ranging up to competitors in their 60’s.
Other classes which compete in the event included Tasar, Flying 11, A Class, 125, Optimist, Sabot.

The regatta is open to all classes of Off the Beach racing dinghies and catamarans.  Classes may be split into divisions, with results calculated by class yardstick, subject to entries.

Up to 10 races are scheduled for each division, with racing on Saturday, Sunday and Monday
