From 5 to 7 April 2024, Newcastle Harbour and the city’s pristine coastline will come alive with the Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club’s SailFest which will proudly incorporate the prestigious Australian Yachting Championships. Yachts with an IRC rating will be able to compete for the title.

There are lots of social activities along the waterfront, creating a relaxed sailing carnival atmosphere for family and friends. At the same time, families can also enjoy a Try-Sailing experience in the sheltered waters of Throsby Basin, Carrington. A free initiative, it allows budding sailors (ages 6 – 12years) to learn a new skill aboard a Tackers dinghy.
