Wynnum Manly Sailing club is proud to conduct the biggest weekend “BIG BOAT” regatta held in Southern Queensland each year. It is also the only teams event on the local sailing calendar. Around 100 yachts regularly enter either the monohull teams competition, the cruising division or the multihull division.

Shore based activities are hosted at Wynnum Manly Yacht Club, with sign on Friday 5th October, and entertainment and prize draws on Saturday Night.  Meals, refreshments and breakfasts available over the entire weekend.  Berthing available for visiting yachts.

The St Helena Cup regatta dates back to 1976, but the cup itself was awarded to the winner of a shooting competition held on St Helena Island in 1890.  It was kindly gifted to Wynnum Manly Yacht Club by Mick Patterson, the grandson of the 1890 winner, Edwin Cloherty.

Proudly sponsored by Nautilus Marine Insurance, Manly Hotel, Muir Marine, Hood Sails, DisplayCraft, AustraliaWide Boat Sails and Multihull Solutions, we have several thousands of dollars worth of prizes for the various winners and placegetters.
