Link to experimental race timing. General information, results,  reports, dates and sailing instructions, skippers essentials.   

Dates for the remainder of this season (from March) are here.

As a rule, keelboat racing happens every Saturday in summer and on a few Sundays in winter.  The fleet includes Couta boats, small to medium keelboats and a couple of 40 foot ocean racing yachts.  Members’ vessels are moored either in pens within the Queenscliff marina or off the Queenscliff Cruising Yacht Club – on swing moorings or in pile moorings.  A good summer race could include up to 8 boats of various sizes plus our Committee boat “Swan”.  For planned race dates, see the link above and check for updates under “ Calendar of events”.  And skippers who might wish to race please register your vessel (once to cover the whole year) as follows.

Registration of vessels intending to race.

You will need a completed category 5 or category 7 safety declaration, a copy of your vessel’s insurance certificate, and your login information for Australian Sailing. Then click this link for the online registration form. ->
