Entry for individual Academy Graduates (Saturday)

An invitation is extended to all female sailors who have been part of the Sailing Academy to enter the SheSAILS@NCYC Development Regatta for 2026.

This event, designed to develop women’s sailing in the Newcastle region, is an annual regatta to provide female sailors with an enjoyable “around the buoys” inshore racing event where fun & learning is the primary focus.

 

Our highly successful event, now in it's 10th year, has the aim of showing women who have completed sailing courses with the NCYC Sailing Academy what a possible next step might be . . into regatta racing. 

Individual sailors can register for the regatta using your AS Number (you would have received from completing an Academy course).

We will allocate you onto a crew with 3 other graduates and an instructor/skipper - forming a crew of 5 sailors.

The Entry Fee is $135 per person and includes:

• Training session with shore-based and on-water tuition
• Racing on our fleet of Force 24 inshore keelboats with a skilled Mentor Skipper
• A SheSAILS@NCYC regatta gift
• On-water snacks
• Lunch & refreshments in the Clubhouse
• Bubbles & Nibbles at Presentation
• Some great prizes
