Race Calendar 2026 - 2027
The general race briefings are usually 90 mins prior to the scheduled race start. Please note the 12 noon start times, in April/May 2027, after daylight savings ends. All information is subject to change. Refer to the Sailing Instructions which also includes course configurations / diagrams. Sailors should check the NOR published by the organising Club for all “away regattas” to confirm dates. Non-members / visitors are always welcome to compete in any Race Series or Regatta - subject to entry fees as applicable.
- KCC welcome all classes of OTB catamarans up to 6 meters (20') loa, including all traditional 14' classes (typically but not limited to Hobie, Maricat, Windrush et al)
- Subject to entry numbers and Race Committee approval, all race series and/or regattas (except the Darren Lowder Memorial Trophy and South West Rocks Regatta), where Course A only is specified, may also have a dedicated triangular course for 14’ Classes, in lieu of the more typical windward/leeward course. Refer to KCC or Regatta NOR/SIs for details.
