Citysail

CitySail - Saturday 7 September 2024

CitySail is the sailing regatta for women and girls on the beautiful Albert Park Lake, right on the edge of the City of Melbourne. Held over the second weekend of September each year, CitySail is the perfect blend of high class coaching and serious regatta racing.

Morning coaching sessions, followed by short course coached racing in the afternoons, makes for a balanced weekend of superb sailing, learning, fun and laughter. After racing on Saturday , we hope you'll join a BBQ and take the opportunity to mingle and chat with other keen sailors.

Head Coach, Jarka Kluth will bring her team of professional coaches. Together they will help refresh and improve your skills in time for the beginning of the main sailing season.

Entries for the regatta are now open via TryBooking

Please enter early to help the CitySail team with the organisation of this wonderful event.

Sailors will be divided into small groups according to their ability to assist the coaches and allow them to provide appropriate guidance to each sailor and help everyone improve their skills on the water.

All skippers must be female; a male crew is allowed.
All sailors should have completed Learn to Sail Levels 1 and 2 or equivalent at a minimum.
There is no category for complete beginners.

No need to wait for the weather forecast. Albert Park Lake is an inland lake with flat water and significantly milder conditions than Port Philip Bay. We sail all year round on the lake and September sailing should be fabulous.
