Get ready for fun and excitement as Busselton plays host to Western Australia’s largest yachting regatta. The event is definitely a “must do” and has become a very significant tourism drawcard in the South West. If you want to see what makes this event so special, be sure to be there.
Marking its 10th anniversary in 2012, Geographe Bay Race Week is the state’s largest and longest running annual yachting regatta. Over 1,000 sailors and 100 yachts will sail out of the Port Geographe Marina for this highly anticipated event. Meanwhile, the action will continue on shore with an array of activities for all family members. The event takes place from February 17th to February 24th. The venue is located only 10 kilometres from the Busselton town centre and 108 nautical miles away from Fremantle.
The annual Geographe Bay Raceweek is continuing to gain popularity each year. This week-long sailing regatta is designed for sailors by sailors. The success of the regatta is due to its growing strength and fame amongst the local yachting community. Richard Court AC has been the regatta’s patron since its inauguration.
