Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron will proudly host the highly anticipated 2024 Petersville Regatta from 27 to 30 December, kicking off summer with one of the most exciting events on the Peninsula. This annual highlight attracts sailors from across the region, and this year, over 450 competitors are expected to participate.
Entries for this iconic regatta are now open and filling quickly. Many competitors in the ‘Cock of the Bay’ yacht race plan to head to Blairgowrie, seamlessly continuing their summer racing season.
Regular participant and Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron member Greg Lewis emphasized the benefits of the dual event lineup, stating:
“Starting in Willy (Williamstown) and heading down the day before, it’s a great way to bring boats from Melbourne down to the southern end of the bay.”
Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron offers marina berths for a variety of vessels, daily live entertainment on the Clubhouse deck, and its signature welcoming hospitality. The regatta promises four thrilling days of competition, featuring passage races, short-course racing, and twilight racing. Blairgowrie’s renowned flat-water conditions make it a favourite among keelboat enthusiasts, adding to the event’s appeal.
Don’t miss your chance to join this premier event. Submit your entry by 5:00 PM on Friday, 6 December 2024, and be part of the action!
