SASSY - 2025

Published Mon 28 Oct 2024

 

SASSY is the sailing regatta for women and girls on the beautiful Westernport at Somers. Held over the second weekend of February each year, SASSY is the perfect blend of high class coaching and serious regatta racing.

Morning coaching sessions, followed by short course coached racing in the afternoons, makes for a balanced day of superb sailing, learning, fun and laughter. After club racing on Saturday , we hope you'll  join us for a BBQ and take the opportunity to mingle and chat with other keen sailors.

We have a wonderful team of sailing mentors and coaches to help refresh and improve your skills.

 Entries for the regatta are now open via TryBooking

  • All skippers must be female; a male crew is allowed.
  • All sailors should have completed Learn to Sail Levels 1 and 2 or equivalent at a minimum.
