The CYCA Winter Series is one of the most popular racing programs on Sydney Harbour, bringing together a diverse fleet of yachts and crews throughout the cooler months.
Comprising 12 races in total, the series offers competitive yet enjoyable racing for sailors of all experience levels, from seasoned competitors to those building their confidence on the start line. Three of the races form the Women’s Winter Series, creating additional opportunities for women sailors to compete and develop their Skippering and crewing skills on the harbour.
The pursuit start begins at 1130hrs, and the time limit for the race is five hours.
Sydney Harbour is the best place to be on a Sunday in winter. Entries close at 1200hrs on the Thursday prior to each race.
