CitySail

Saturday 13 - Sunday 14  September 2025

​Each September, the Albert Park Yacht Club hosts a sailing regatta for women and girls on the beautiful Albert Park Lake, set on the southern edge of the City of Melbourne.

CitySail regatta provides the perfect blend of high-level coaching and coached racing for women and girls.
All sailors must be able to competently sail; CitySail is not for beginners.

Morning coaching sessions, followed by short course coached racing in the afternoons, make for the perfect mix of sailing, learning, fun and laughter.

Stay for the social BBQ on Saturday after racing to catch up with everyone.

Entries for the regatta are now open via TryBooking
BOOK EARLY to ensure your place
Numbers will be limited

Online entries close one week prior to the event on 7 September.
Please enter early to help the CitySail team with the organisation of this wonderful event.

Coaching will be in small groups of sailors at the same skill level to ensure the best value for all.
  • All skippers must be female; a male crew is allowed.
  • All sailors must be able to competently sail and complete a race.
  • There is no category for beginners.
Albert Park Lake is an inland lake with flat water and significantly milder conditions than Port Philip Bay.
No need to wait for the weather forecast.
We sail all year round on the lake and September sailing should be fabulous.
