Sail as part of Team MHYC

There are a number of opportunities for MHYC yachts to compete as part of a team in events during February, March and April……..

 

RANSA Regatta on Sunday 8 February

RANSA’s Premier Event of the Year, the RANSA Regatta, will be held on Sunday 8 February 2026.

Entries are now open at RANSA Regatta 2026 - SailSys and the Notice of Race is also published - NOR

The Regatta is a pursuit start race around Sydney Harbour, incorporating both individual division racing and the Clubs Team Challenge.  Divisions will include Spinnaker, Non-Spinnaker & Classics.

New for 2026 is the introduction of Class Divisions. Five or more entries of the same class will create a dedicated Class Division within a nominated division.  There is already strong interest from a number of classes including J/24s, Etchells, Folk Boats, Cavalier 28s, Sydney 38s, Flying Tigers, S80s, and Adams 10s — so rally your class, reach five boats or more, and create your own Class Division.

There will also be a Club Teams Challenge, where crews sail for their nominated club in pursuit of the Admiral’s Trophy.  Post-race back at RANSA there will be live music, food and drinks, prize giving, raffles, and more.  Further information at www.ransa.com.au

If you are entering, let MHYC know so we can ensure you are part of the Club Team!

 

2026 Interclub Challenge

The 2026 Inter Club 40 Challenge will include three events scored on ORC:
