Sail Port Stephens competitors and spectators alike have a choice of tailored events to suit their sailing tastes, starting with the iconic Commodores Cup regatta running concurrently. This forms the “Passage Series” sailed from d’Albora Marina Nelson Bay, with a raft of surrounding social activities and scenic courses that utilise the inshore and offshore islands.

The prestigious NSW Yachting Championships, TP52 Gold Cup Act 3 and Rob Hampshire Cup, the Super Racer Cruiser division, and the InterClub 40 division all combine for this event called the “Performance Racing Series”. With d’Albora Marina Nelson Bay being the hub, this is grand-prix offshore racing at its best.

Part III of Sail Port Stephens invites off-the-beach dinghy classes, trailer sailers, and trailable sportsboats to enjoy their own “Bay Series” hosted by the Bay Sailing Centre at Salamander Bay in conjunction with Bannisters Port Stephens.
