It’s hard to keep a good secret… and this year’s Skiffs on GeoBay was one worth sharing.
Held over 28 February and 1 March on the stunning waters of Geographe Bay, the 2026 regatta brought together an exciting mix of fleets. The O’pen Skiff sailors were joined by members of the Shark and RS Aero fleets for a fantastic seven-race series, finishing in style with a knock-out slalom that kept competitors and spectators on their toes.
A huge thank you to all the parents from Geographe Bay Yacht Club and East Fremantle Yacht Club who made the weekend possible by getting sailors to the event and supporting them on and off the water. Special thanks to:
-
Race Officer Tim Putt
-
Alex and Shaun aboard Salad Spinner
-
Marnie and Seb aboard Support 99
Your time and commitment make events like this possible.
