Set on the beautiful waters of Lake Cootharaba at Boreen Point, this premier regatta brings together Hobie sailors from across Queensland and beyond for three days of competitive racing, great camaraderie, and unforgettable sailing. Renowned for its reliable sea breezes and expansive flat-water racecourse, Lake Cootharaba is one of Australia's favourite Hobie sailing venues.
