Sydney Harbour Regatta 2014

The Sydney Harbour Regatta was inaugurated in 1996.  Racing is open to all Australian and International yachts, from IRC and PHS racing and cruising classes to the very popular International Classes.

Racing is conducted on the waters of Sydney Harbour and offshore for the IRC grand prix yachts.    Over 300 yachts in over 24 divisions on 8 course areas grace the magnificent harbour for this weekend of competitive yacht racing. The prestigious nature of this event is heightened by its part in the Audi Australian IRC Championship.
