About the Race

The Pittwater to Coffs Harbour Yacht Race has developed over its 31 year history, into one of the most popular of all ocean-racing events in Australia. The race offers competitors a strategic challenge as they race between the surfline and the current, past unsurpassed scenic coastlines, prior to arriving in one of Australia's most popular coastal cities.

The 2013 regatta follows the same shape introduced a couple of years back with the Pittwater to Coffs race being the first race starting on 2 January 2013 followed by four races in Coffs Harbour over two consecutive days on 5-6 January.  These Coffs Harbour regatta races consist of a 8nm sprint windward-leeward race followed immediately by a 20nm offshore race around the majestic South Solitary Islands making it a five race regatta.
