Scheduled from 16 to 20 December 2025, Sail Brisbane will take place from the squadron’s base in Manly, Queensland. The regatta forms part of the broader summer sailing circuit and attracts competitors from around Australia and the Asia‑Pacific region.
Racing at Sail Brisbane will span a broad range of classes, from junior and youth fleets to Olympic and invited divisions. The event’s multi‑class format ensures sailors of differing experience levels can compete and grow, with diverse fleets on multiple race courses.
This year’s regatta is presented in partnership with Australian Sailing, underlining the joint commitment to developing sailing pathways across the sport. The collaboration between RQYS and the national body supports consistent competition standards and fosters participation for sailors at all stages of their development.
Included within the regatta programme is the Queensland WingFoil State Championship, adding another layer of competition for foiling athletes. Sail Brisbane also serves as a lead‑in event to several major championships scheduled at RQYS in the months ahead, providing valuable racing experience for participants.
Competitors heading to Manly can find detailed information, such as the Notice of Race, safety requirements, accommodation, and logistics via the RQYS regatta page. Pre‑regatta coaching clinics are available for sailors seeking extra preparation, offering structured guidance for junior, youth and adult participants.
For spectators and supporters ashore, daily updates, results and event information will be shared through the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron’s channels and affiliated media. Live result services and summaries help keep the community connected to the action out on the bay throughout the week.
The event’s location at Moreton Bay offers a scenic setting for competitive sailing, with courses laid out against the backdrop of the bay’s waters and Queensland’s coastal fringe. Local sailing families, visitors and enthusiasts are encouraged to follow the regatta and support the sailors in their classes.
