The world would ve watched in utter amazement today as 130 yachts lined up for the opening spell of a massive weekend of racing at Sail Port Stephens 2021.
Spinnakers lined the entire bay, cheek and jowl, in a spectacle that turned the clock back to pre-COVID days, further mirrored by a simple post-race sausage sizzle from title sponsors Pantaenius Yacht and Sail Insurance that was appreciated by a horde of hungry sailors.
Among the events under way are the NSW IRC Championships, Australian Sports Boat Association NSW Titles, and Flagstaff Marine Performance Cruising and Racing divisions. Tomorrow, it steps up another gear with an off-the-beach satellite regatta that has attracted a strong fleet of Finns, Sabots and Windsurfers. ....

The final day of the Bannisters Port Stephens Commodore s Cup is here already, and for the third day in a row, the 108 boats will start off the Nelson Bay breakwall in a westerly breeze.
Today, instead of the spinnaker starts we have enjoyed over the past two days, we will see the fleet head into the westerly for the Explore the Bays course, right up to West Arm, around Boondaba Island, and then back to the Nelson Bay breakwall to finish under spinnaker.
Then tonight we will head to Bannisters Port Stephens to mark the halfway point of the regatta with the Commodore s Cup and brilliant band Sons of Beaches. ....

The 2021 Sail Port Stephens regatta switched to island time today for Race 2 of the Commodores Cup, with the fleet heading seawards for a race course where Mother Nature lays the marks - or at least the landmarks.
Starting off Nelson Bay breakwall, the yachts donned spinnakers for a sparkling run in nor westerly winds gusting to 18 knots. Many hugged Yacaaba Headland under the stern gaze of seabirds and dolphins, modern sails juxtaposed against the majestic, millennium-old cliffs.
They then wove around Cabbage Tree and Boondelbah Islands, which stand like sentries at the entrance to this pristine marine park. ....
