Series: InterClub 40 Challenge
Series Sponsor: d'Albora Marinas
The InterClub 40 Challenge is a three-day event held from 24-26 April 2026 based out of Regatta HQ at d’Albora Marina Nelson Bay running alongside the other Performance Racing divisions.
The InterClub 40 Challenge concept sees yachts racing in teams of three – representing their home club in a division made up of mostly Corinthian sailors racing in similar boats. With racing scored based on ORC (inc ORCclub) fixed ratings, skill of each team becomes more important than the boat.
