04 August, 2025 – Melbourne
Classic Yacht sailors from around Australia and abroad will meet once again in November on the waters of Port Phillip for the annual Cup Regatta, this year celebrating its 19th edition.
The big news is that the CYAA have decided to include, for the first time, “Modern Classics” in what has become a must do event for the Victorian traditional boat sailor.
The event will provide a mix of sailing and social activities that will fill the weekend, for both those racing and those looking to take things a little easier.
As is the custom, an invitation will be extended to our friends at the CYANZ, and we hope to see many of them in Melbourne once again.
Further details and entry information will be posted soon, so mark it in your diary now for the Melbourne Cup weekend, October 31 to November 2.
