2024 Petersville Regatta at Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron - Overall

by Alex Dare, Down Under Sail 1 Jan 00:36 GMT 27-30 December 2024

The 2024 Petersville Regatta came to a close on Monday, with no racing on the final day due to no wind.

The hot northerly conditions created a glass out on Port Phillip Bay with no possibility of getting any racing started after an on-shore postponement until 11:15am - at which point the race committee called the event.

Sailors enjoyed a relaxed morning at the club before heading into presentations to name the winners for the regatta.

Many sailors, including Peter Little from the Royal Yacht Club of Victoria, were excited to be involved in the regatta despite the early finish on Day 4.

"It was a fantastic regatta, we had perfect weather and we had a great location," he said.

Skippering Adrenalin in Division 1, Little reflected on the previous three days of racing, emphasising how he and his crew found the racing "difficult, but everyone has a go and it's really close".

Michael Ebeling on La Mer from Sandringham Yacht Club said the unique regatta format of the Petersville Regatta really suited his boat and his team, as they prefer longer course racing.

"It was competitive racing, flat water, everyone is very friendly so it's a really good regatta to compete in," Ebeling said.

"They're very close starts, some good close roundings, and all-in-all it's really competitive sailing."

The completion of the Petersville Regatta marks the end of an exciting 2024 for the Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron, with the club set for another exciting year in 2025.
