Keelboat 2026/27 Season

SoPYC hosts four major sailing series across the year - with racing on Wednesday’s year-round (Twilights Nov–Mar), Saturdays in summer, and Sundays in winter:

• Saturday Series
• Leeuwin Estate Midweek Series
• Century 21 Twilight Series
• Good Grocer Frostbite Series

Alongside these, the club runs a vibrant calendar of special races, historic celebrations, hosted regattas, and plenty of fun social events.

We welcome all SoPYC boats and visiting sailors to come and enjoy racing on the beautiful Swan River. May the breeze treat you kindly as we chase Championship and Consistency honours across a wide range of classes and fleets.

From 1st January 2022, all persons on board a boat while racing shall be members of a Club affiliated to Australian Sailing and have an Australian Sailing number, or hold a valid SailPass, or if an international competitor, be a member of club affiliated to a World Sailing recognised Member National Authority.

SailPass has 2 primary functions. Firstly, to ensure we can provide the best safety practices can be followed, allowing us to know whos on the water at any given time. It also gives sailors an opportunity to ‘try before you buy’ option when sailing at our club. So give sailing a try and come join a great community!

Some races and regattas come with their own SI’s and information – head to our Regattas page to find your event or race to stay up to date!

The minimum category of race for the event you wish to enter will be detailed in the Notice of Race. For example, Keelboat racing on the Swan River during daylight hours is covered by Category 7. As you venture out onto the ocean the more stringent the requirements become up to Category 2 for the Geraldton Ocean Classic. Higher categories will cover lower category requirements, i.e. Cat 2 will also be good for river racing. So you only need to complete one form for the event you wish to enter that has the highest race category.

Ensure these are attached to your TopYacht race entry – or delivered to the OWG prior your commencement of racing for the year. No form, no result!
