2018 Inverloch Classic Wooden Dinghy Regatta

The 2018 Inverloch Classic Wooden Dinghy Regatta

12/1/2018

The Inverloch Classic Wooden Dinghy Regatta is about displaying classic wooden sailing dinghies both on and off the water, many of which were once common but are now becoming rare. By focusing on the beauty of the wood crafting, rigging and history of these boats it is hoped people will appreciate them more fully and participate in their restoration and conservation. Over the Australia Day Weekend the Regatta also highlights aspects of Inverloch’s unique seaside history.

AUSTRALIA DAY WEEKEND JANUARY 2018
FRIDAY 26th, SATURDAY 27th, AND SUNDAY 28th

For 2018 there is the added excitement of the 90th anniversary of the Moth. This has entailed some additions to the weekend’s program including the Cavalcade of Moths and a race just for the modern Moth class. Of course there is plenty of sailing for everyone with a social sail, invitation race and the Regatta race. All we need is to put in our order for nice weather and we will be just about ready to go.

Following its success at the last Regatta, the static display in the basketball stadium is now an integral part of our event. The Inverloch and District Lions Club have magnanimously taken on its management. You can expect to see model boats and planes as well as historical displays including Len Morris’ original creation “Olive” which is kindly on loan from Albert Park Yacht Club.
