The inaugural South Australian State Championships will be held during Pt Lincoln Race Week in February 2012.

With the increasing number of Sydney 38s in Adelaide – all based at the CYCSA- it was decided to hold a South Australian state title as part of one of the best regatta weeks in Australia.  The Lincoln Race Week held in Pt Lincoln  following the Adelaide to Lincoln Bluewater Classic, is held on some of the best sailing waters in Australia.  The waters of Boston Bay provide flat water, nice breezes, sunshine and the hospitality of Pt Lincoln and the Pt Lincoln Yacht Club results in a memorable sailing experience.

“We will do everything we can to make it a hugely successful event.  We have appointed an extra National Race Officer to assist Stewart Ross in our race management so all is looking good for a great week .” said Regatta Chairman, Steve Kemp.

Dates to note are: 2012 Lexus Adelaide to Port Lincoln Yacht Race – Friday 17th February and 2012 Lexus Lincoln Week and SA Sydney 38 Championships – 20th February to 24th February.

A number  of Victorian boats have expressed interest in coming across for the SA Championships and bolster the growing SA fleet which should result  in some excellent competition and close racing.  Berthing of boats during Lincoln Race week is usually at no charge and special packages are available from the CYCSA for interstate boats heading up to Adelaide to compete in the Bluewater Classic.

For interstate crews, the Port Lincoln Visitor Information Centre is best source for accommodation information.
