We would like to send out a big thanks to Patrik Windsurfing for coming onboard as our major sponsor. Patrik will be coming across to the event and, along with team rider Bastien Escofet, will be offering a two-day coaching session on the Wednesday / Thursday before the regatta for anyone who is entered. More details will follow.
Patrik is offering up some great lucky draw prizes for all competitors including an 8 m foil sail. We will also have lucky draw prizes from Simon Fyfe at Board Crazy.
There will be the following classes and divisions
Open men
Open women
Youth
Grand Masters
IQFoil
Freeride / Rookie
State of Origin champion team (details to follow)
Races will be a mix of upwind / downwind, marathon and slalom if the winds are light.
We encourage anyone who is interested in joining the race class to come and try it out in the freeride division. There will be a sail size limit of 8 m and a reduced course will be used to help guide new racers into the discipline. Come learn from the best in the country and experience the excitement for yourself.

Entries are up to 16 with a month to go!
With the NSW border restrictions in place, we need some more sailors from other states to sign up to make sure we can fund the event.
If you are sitting on the fence rest assured that this is an event not to be missed. Three days of great sailing on Moreton Bay with BBQ and lucky draw prizes from Patrik Windsurf International and Board Crazy Brisbane.
This is a great event to come try out racing for yourself. The freeride / rookie division will have good numbers where you can race against people at a similar level in a friendly and supportive environment.
There is cheap accommodation available on the bay including camping space and dorm rooms at Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron. Billeting with local sailors is also a possibility (contact us for details).
