The 2025 Goolugatup Sailing Carnival has drawn to a close, and what a fantastic return it has been. After a year’s break, the event re-emerged stronger than ever as we continue working to re-establish it as one of the most sailor-friendly regattas on the calendar.
This year we introduced new racing formats, including freestyle, high-speed foil slalom and SailGP-style downwind courses. Across the weekend, sailors faced everything from steady breezes to challenging 25-knot conditions. Competitors rose to the occasion, with the junior and youth fleets showing outstanding resilience, while the Foiling and 29er classes put on a thrilling display, reaching speeds of nearly 30 knots around the course.
This year saw 104 entries, a tremendous turnout and a testament to the enthusiasm within our sailing community.
A heartfelt thank-you goes to our event supporters:
• Melville Rotary
Your generosity ensures we can offer low entry fees, media coverage, on-shore services, and the many extras that make this event so enjoyable. Special recognition goes to Melville Rotary, whose mission to serve the community and foster positive change aligns perfectly with the spirit of this regatta.
