The Asia – Pacific Winter Championships is the first J24 regatta on the Asian circuit with the next Regatta probably in Singapore in February. Our region is one of the last in the world to establish its own Continental Championship and Asia offers an exciting opportunity to sail at international level for little outlay.

There now look like being in excess of 20 entries with the hosts running out of loan boats and still trying to secure more billets. The standard of competition will be the best for many years in a J24 Australian held regatta .

Browse around the Regatta website for all the information and find out who has indicated they are coming in the competitors lisst.

Notice of Race to be released prior to Easter. Those who enter first will be allocated berths close to the clubhouse.
