Welcome to Albert Park Yacht Club & the WinterSail 2025 Regatta
​WinterSail is a friendly 3-day coaching & racing regatta for beginner to advanced junior and youth sailors, held on the sheltered waters of Albert Park Lake.

Albert Park Yacht Club are pleased to invite sailors who have graduated Tackers 2 or equivalent, to enter this iconic junior and youth development event.

Australian Sailing accredited head coach Susannah Gillam leads an experienced professional team, providing quality personalised coaching in small group classes. Refresh your skills and techniques in time for the coming season.

The program combines skills improvement, challenges, short course racing on Sunday afternoon, and lots of fun meeting friends.

There are relaxed free BBQs on Friday and Saturday after sailing, plus great food and drinks to purchase from APYC's galley.

Presentations after racing on Sunday recognise effort and results.
