The Inverloch Classic Wooden Dinghy Regatta has again been scheduled for the Australia Day Weekend in January. Hosted by South Gippsland YC the event has grown to become the largest event of its type in Australia and would seem to be responsible for the resurgence of a number of classic classes. None more so than the Sailfish which has reached very healthy numbers and continues to grow.

The regatta provides the incentive for owners of wooden dinghies of all types and condition to drag their beloved craft out of the shed and join other like-minded enthusiasts for sailing activities and beach displays. Vessels can be entered ‘as is’ or in many cases are fully restored, demonstrating beautiful timber work and craftsmanship.

As a point of interest in 2020 the regatta will be celebrating Australian skiffs with a number of examples on display including one sailed by Errol Flynn back in the day. For entry and further details go to http://sgycinverloch.com.au/
