On Monday 18 & Tuesday 19 November, 2019, the NSW Police Sailing Club in conjunction with the Royal Motor Yacht Club, Toronto, is hosting the NSW Police & Emergency Services Sailing Regatta on Lake Macquarie. The regatta is made up of up to five races over two days with a complimentary BBQ at the completion of each day.

All races are non-spinnaker with two divisions: Under 30 foot/Over 30 Foot.

This Regatta is now in its tenth year on beautiful Lake Macquarie. Entry is open to all retired/serving members of the emergency services including but not limited to State & Federal Police, Fire Brigade including Rural/Bush Brigades, Ambulance, ADF Personnel, SES, VRA, Maritime Authorities, Marine Rescue NSW and Corrective Services, with the size of the sailing craft being from trailerable upwards.

As a sign of goodwill the NSW Police Sailing Club has opened entry to all other yachts that are associated with Yacht/Sailing Clubs on Lake Macquarie.

Over the past years yachts have ranged from 7 metres to over 13 metres. Prizes are able to be awarded to 1st and 2nd place in each of the five races and an overall point score prize for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, through the generous sponsorship of RMYC Toronto. A separate raffle will also be held for Skippers & crew with prizes provided by a number of Lake Macquarie waterway associated companies, including Marmong Point Marina, Macquarie Moorings and Burke Marine.

As stated trailerable yachts are most welcome, with Royal Motor Yacht Club, Toronto, having a boat ramp and ample parking. Free overnight berthing and shower facilities for competing yachts/crews are also available on the Wharf at the RMYC, Toronto.
