Entries Open for 2026 Wildcat Regatta

The Great Lakes Sailing Club is proud to release the Notice of Race and officially open EVENT REGISTRATION for our upcoming 2026 WildCat Regatta!

Come join us at the Great Lakes Sailing Club, on the shores of beautiful Lake Wallis, for the 53rd running of this much loved regatta, a fabulous weekend of catamaran racing, camping and community.

The event is open to all classes of off the beach catamaran.  Please take time to read the NOTICE OF RACE, a link to this document will be sent to you upon registration, or, you can find it HERE

Note particularly the guidlines described regarding camping, restrictions and etiquette so that we can make it a great experience for everyone.

The NSWHCA’s man on the ground Mr. Michael ‘The Director’ Taylor, along with the widely renowned President of the Great Lakes Sailing Club, Tim Haffner, are all well and truly underway with the organisation of the fabled Wild Cat Regatta. Taking place once again over the October long weekend, Wildcat is by far the largest open catamaran regatta in Australia, with numbers capped at a fleet of 100.

Running of the back of the inaugural WaveGP, the NSW Hobie Family invites you all to Forster for the second event of the NSW Traveller Series for a weekend of fun and games, both on and off the water.

We can already anticipate a large fleet of Hobie 14s, along with a dozen or more Hobie 18s on the water sending it with the F18s, F16s, Taipans, 5.8s, Maris and more. This year in particular, the NSWHCA would be stoked to see a fleet of Hobie 16s back out on the water racing! Stay tuned for more live action to come.
