November saw the resurrected School Fleet Racing Championships over the first weekend followed by a well-supported Goodwill Cup sailing event, which saw entries from Southport Yacht Club and Moreton Bay Boat Club, with SYC winning the Team event and the Goodwill Cup on IRC, and our own “Drakes Prayer” winning the Lord Brassey Cup on PHS. The month finished strong with the ILCA Metropolitan Championships and the VX One QLD State Championships. And, throughout all these events was a regular schedule of Squadron racing across OTB (Off the Beach) Dinghy, Foiling classes and Keelboat racing on Sundays. In closing this year’s report, I extend heartfelt thanks — and congratulations on his well-merited Australian Sailing award — to Austin Sims, our dedicated Sailing Administrator Rose Haynes, and to the incredible Volunteers who make these events possible. Your tireless efforts are the backbone of our success. Thanks to every one of you, for your continued commitment to and support of our sailing community. Here’s to another remarkable season ahead! n MTH DATE/S EVENT/S HOST DIVISION/S JAN Tue.02 – Fri.05 Hobie Nationals RQYS Hobie Mon.15 – Sun.21 Flying Eleven Nationals Flying Eleven Sun.28 Schools Fleet Racing - Day 1 Schools FEB Sat.03 OTB Day 15 (Squadron Champs 5) RQYS OTB Sun.04 Schools Fleet Racing - Day 2 Schools Div Race (RTC 4, 5 & 6) (Race 5 to count Squadron Champs 6) Yachts Sat.10 OTB Day 16 OTB Surf to City QCYC Yachts Sun.11 Schools Fleet Racing - Day 3 / Foil Day 6 RQYS Schools / Foiling Sat.17 OTB Day 17 OTB Sun.18 Schools Teams Racing - Day 1 / Div Race 5 Schools / Yachts Mon.19 – Wed.21 OK Dinghy Nationals / Pre-Worlds OKs Sat.24 OTB Day 18 / Kingfisher Night Race 3 OTB / Yachts Sun.25 Schools Teams Racing - Day 2 Schools Fri.23 – Sat.02 Mar OK Dinghy Worlds OKs MAR Sun.03 Schools Teams Racing - Day 3 / Div Race 6 (Squadron Champs 7) RQYS Schools / Yachts Sat.09 OTB Day 19 Squadron Champs 6 OTB Sat.09 – Sun.10 Brisbane Womens Keelboat Cup Yachts Sun.10 Schools Teams Racing Day 4 - Finals Schools Thu.14 – Sun.17 Moreton Bay Multihull Regatta Multihull Sat.16 OTB Day 20 / Kingfisher Night Race 4 OTB / Yachts Sun.17 Foil Day 7 / Div Race 7 Foiling / Yachts SEQ Champs Schools Teams Racing Schools Sat.23 OTB Day 21 OTB Sat.23 – Sun.24 Etchells Brisbane Fleet Championship Etchells Sun.24 SEQ Champs Schools Teams Racing - Finals Schools Fri.29 Brisbane to Gladsone Yacht Race QCYC Yachts APR Fri.05 – Sun.07 Brisbane Seawind Regatta RQYS Multihulls Fri.12 – Mon.15 ILCA - Australian Masters Championships ILCA Su.14 MCC 5 MCC Yachts Sat.20 Frostbite Day 1 RQYS OTB Sun.21 Pacer Queensland Open Teams Racing Championships Pacer RQ Yachts - Winter Race 1 - Winter Course Book Yachts Sun.28 MCC 6 Peter Beard ‘Big Lap’ MCC Yachts MAY Saturday Frostbite Day 2 RQYS OTB Fri.03 – Wed.08 Brisbane Race Week (Multiple events & courses) Yachts Fri.10 Junior Presentation Night All Fri.17 PIF - Propery Industry Foundation Race Yachts Sat.18 Past Commodores’ Cup / Frostbite Day 3 Power / OTB Sun.19 RQ Yachts - Winter Race 3 - Winter Course Book Yachts Sat.25 – Sun.26 Canaipa Cup Yacht Race Yachts Fri.31 Senior Presentation Night & Yachtshare Club Member of the Year OTB JUN Sat.01 – Sun.02 Nacra 15/17 Winter regatta RQYS Nacra Sat.01 Frostbite Day 4 OTB Fri.07 – Sun.09 VX ONE Winter Nationals VX One Fri.07 Cruising and Navigation Presentation Night Power and Sail Sun.09 RQ Yachts - Winter Race 4 - Winter Course Book Yachts Sat.15 Frostbite Day 5 OTB Sun.16 MCC 9 MCC Yachts Thu.20 Brisbane to Keppel Bay 2024 RQYS Yachts JUL Thu.04 – Sun.07 GILL Queensland Youth Week RQYS OTB Sun.07 RQ Yachts - Winter Race 5 - Winter Course Book Yachts Sat.13 – Sun.14 2024 QILCA Winter ILCA Open Regatta ILCA Sun.14 MCC 10 MCC Yachts Sat.20 – Sun.21 Finn Queensland State Titles RQYS Finns AUG Fri.02 – Tue.07 Brisbane to Hamilton Island RQYS Yachts Sat.03 – Sun.04 Etchells Waterloo Cup Etchells Sun.04 MCC 11 MCC Yachts Sun.25 MCC 12 Yachts SEP Sat.07 140th Sailing Season Opening Day RQYS All Sun.08 Foiling Day 1 Foiling Sat.14 OTB Day 1 (Squadron Champs 1) OTB Sun.15 RQ Yachts Day 1 (Squadron Champs 1) Yachts Sat.21 OTB Day 2 OTB Sat.21 – Sun.22 MCC 13,14 & 15 MCC Yachts Sat.28 – Sun.29 Etchells Queensland State Titles RQYS Etchells Sat.28 OTB Day 3 OTB Sun.29 RQ Yachts Day 2 Yachts OCT Sat.05 OTB Day 4 RQY OTB Sun.06 Foiling Day 2 / Schools Fleet Racing - Day 1 Foiling / Schools Sat.12 – Sun.13 St Helena Cup WMSC Yachts Sat.12 OTB Day 5 RQYS OTB Sun.13 Schools Fleet Racing - Day 2 Schools Sat.19 – Sun.20 Beneteau Cup and French Yacht Challenge Yachts Sat.19 OTB Day 6 (Squadron Champs 2) / Kingfisher Night Race 1 OTB / Yachts Sun.20 Foiling Day 3 / Schools Fleet Racing - Day 3 Foiling / Schools Sat.26 OTB Day 7 OTB Sun.27 Schools Fleet Racing - Day 4 Schools RQ Yachts Day 3 (RTC 1, 2 & 3) (Race 2 = Squadron Champs 2 ) Yachts NOV Sat.02 OTB Day 8 RQYS OTB Sat.02 – Sun.03 Goodwill Cup / 2024 Schools Fleet Racing Championships Power / Schools Sun.03 Foiling Day 4 Foiling Sat.09 – Sun.10 Goodwill Cup / Races 4 & 5 (Squadron Champs 3 & 4) Yachts Sat.09 OTB Day 9 OTB Sun.10 SchoolsTeams Racing - Day 1 Schools Sat.16 OTB Day 10 (Squadron Champs 3 ) / Kingfisher Night Race 2 OTB / Yachts Sun.17 Foiling Day 5 / SchoolsTeams Racing - Day 2 Foiling / Schools Sat.23 OTB Day 11 OTB Sun.24 SchoolsTeams Racing - Day 3 / RQ Yachts Day 6 Schools / Yachts Sat.30 QILCA Metropolitan Championship / OTB Day 12 ILCA / OTB DEC Sun.01 QILCA Metropolitan Championship RQYS ILCA RQ Yachts Day 7 (RTC 4, 5 & 6) (Race 5 = Squadron Champs 5 ) Yachts Sat.07 – Sun.08 International Optimist Queensland State Championships Optimist Sat.07 OTB Day 13 OTB Sat.14 OTB Day 14 (Squadron Champs 4 ) OTB RQ Yachts Day 8 (Splice the Mainbrace) Yachts Wed.18 – Sun.21 Sail Brisbane Multiple Snapshot of the 2024 Sailing Office calendar: a huge program made possible only with our Volunteers’ support!
