Women’s Keelboat Regatta takes out national award at gala event in Sydney

At a gala event held at the National Maritime Museum in Sydney, representatives of our Regatta’s Organising Committee were thrilled as our Mooloolaba Women’s Keelboat Regatta was announced as the winner of the prestigious Australian Sailing SheSails National Award.

Mooloolaba’s very own Jessica Watson did the honours in presenting the Award as she herself was later inducted into the Australian Sailing Hall of Fame.

Now one of south east Queensland’s most popular women’s sailing events, the 2022  Regatta filled in 24 hours and gave women experience both on and off-water, with the opportunity to help or act in leadership roles in event management, admin, promotion, training and club/crew preparation.

It was a culmination of many months of dedicated effort from club members, their friends and families delivering a quality regatta, inspiring women to step out of their comfort zone, develop skills and enjoy full participation in race sailing.

A big thank you and congratulations to all our wonderful volunteers who made this possible!
