SIBYC Regatta 2026
Thats a wrap for another year. Despite the weather forcast not looking good, think everybody will agree it was another great weekend and sucessfull Regatta. For those that didn’t make it out for the second day, it was nowhere near as bad as the forcast and we managed to get a pretty good race in. Once again a big thank you for all the boats, skippers and crew who made the journey to Sussex Inlet and we hope to see you again next year.
Results are now up on the Regatta Results Page 2026 Regatta results.
