We extend a warm invitation to women sailors to participate in the inaugural South Australian Women’s Keelboat Regatta (SAWKR). 

The Regatta is being held over three days on the October long weekend. Hosted by the Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia (CYCSA), with assistance from its partners the Royal South Australian Yacht Squadron and Port Adelaide Sailing Club (PASC), the event is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the South Australian sailing calendar.

SAWKR is for female skippers and crews only.  It is aimed at women currently participating in sailing and looking to enjoy the company, competition and camaraderie of other female sailors. You can enter individually or as a boat crew. As an individual we will be happy to arrange for you to join a team.

There are divisions for large and small keelboats, J24s, trailerables and a one design division for Elliot 7s. The trailerables division will race on river courses at the PASC, just seven minutes by car from the CYCSA, so crews participating on the river courses will not be ‘disconnected’ from the Regatta.  

Elliot 7s and J24s are available to hire, or if you’re bringing your own keelboat, berthing can be booked free of charge at the CYCSA. Trailerables berthing and trailer storage will be at the PASC. Limited unpowered camping for entrants can be booked at the CYCSA. More information is available on the SAWKR web page.

There will be lots of fun off-water activities, with presentations, post-sail BBQs, a regatta dinner, paella and games night and much more.

More information is on the SAWKR web page, or contact us 08 8248 4222 or sawkr@cycsa.org 
We hope you can join us in this great venture celebrating women sailing in South Australia.
