Welcome to Geographe Bay Race Week

On Behalf of Geographe Bay Yacht Club, we want to thank all sailors, officials, volunteers, support staff and guests who attended Geographe Bay Race Week 2025.

2025 was a huge success where we saw favourable condtions and a good time had by all!

Growing from 43 vessels in 2023 to 74 in 2024,and onto 83 boats in 2025 who knows what we can achieve in the years to come...⛵️

This year saw the usual variety of division racing, With the inclusion of a seperate Super 30 fleet, New boats arrived at GBRW particulary the Bethwaite 89er "Dont Panic" sailed by the crew from RFBYC and another Cape 31 from FSC in "Green Arrow"...we're looking forward to this fleet growing in future years. 2026 will have the potential Super 20 fleet, So anyone with a Melges 24, Farr 25, Platu 25, J70, Elliot 7, Runnals 8, Fremantle 8 etc... change the wheel bearings on your trailer and we'll see you in February.

The 3 day Mini Regatta was a treat for the Viper Fleet, joined by the new VX Ones where we saw some fantastic competiton, sharing their race course with the Flying 15's all competiting for the prestigous GBRW Cup! 🏆 Sailing Windward/Leeward courses closer to Busselton Jetty this year to enhanse the spectacle of close haul racing for families and visitors. We welcome all classes to get in touch to see how you can get involved in Race Week 2026.

We'd like to thank the continued support of all of current sponsors who'm im proud to announce have all agreed to be involved again.👏

GBRW is always a highlight in the WA sailing calendar, giving the opportunity for friends to catch up and sail the wonderful waters of Geographe Bay.☀️🏖️

A delivery fleet will leave RPYC annex/FSC with an over night stop in Mandurah,  then onto Port Geographe Marina on the Friday. All boats will be shadowed by RPYC Start Boat "Challenger". This is a safe option for new comers or boats wanting to travel in a fleet. More details to follow.
