Raceweek

Welcome to Geographe Bay Race Week

On Behalf of Geographe Bay Yacht Club, we warmly welcome all sailors, officials, volunteers, support staff and guests to Geographe Bay Race Week 2024.

2023 was a huge success where we saw favourable condtions and a good time had by all!

There will be the usual variety of division racing plus the Mini Regatta is looking to grow from last years involvement of The Viper fleet to include Flying 15's who will be competing for 3 days sailing Windward/Leeward courses close to the Marina. We welcome all classes to get in touch to see how you can get involved in Race Week 2024.

Current EOI's are looking very strong with 71 Boats now planning their visit to Busselton in February. Of note is the newly created SUPER 30 fleet, which will see the latest arrival of  the Cape 31's battling it out against boats of similar size like MC31, Melges 32, Farr 30.

Premier Cruising and Jib and Main divisions are showing big numbers as well.

We'd like to thank the continued support of the City of Busselton, and welcome back Club Marine whom without the event may not be possible.

GBRW is always a highlight in the WA sailing calendar, giving the opportunity for friends to catch up and sail the wonderful waters of Geographe Bay.

A delivery fleet will leave RPYC annex/FSC Thursday 1st Feb with an over night stop in Mandurah,  then onto Port Geographe Marina on the Friday. All boats will be shadowed by RPYC Start Boat "Challenger". This is a safe option for new comers or boats wanting to travel in a fleet. More details to follow.

Notice of Race is now live, so book your time off between the 3rd-9th February and we look forward to seeing you, your crew and family back in Busselton for what’s sure to be a wonderful event.

Warm Regards,

Scott Olney
