Sail Bellarine is back for May 4 & 5, 2024!

Sail Bellarine is a tremendous event that is all about having fun, hanging out with your sailing buddies and having some awesome racing on the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula. The event continues to be a joint collaboration between Indented Head Yacht Club, McCrae Yacht Club, Portarlington Sailing Club and St Leonards Yacht Club & Motor Squadron, with the four clubs putting together an exciting racing schedule over two days.

Sail Bellarine is open to Aeros, Lasers (ILCA), OKs, Optis, Sabres and Tasars, each with separate starts.

Sail Bellarine is recognised "for its commitment to fostering a positive atmosphere and delivering an exceptional event. For establishing, growth, and success in not only elevating the club's profile but in also creating a welcoming and engaging platform for sailors of various skill levels."
