12.01.2022 We couldn't have scripted a better opening day for SailFest Newcastle and the City of Newcastle TP52 Gold Cup. In fact, anyone who thought the series would be one-way traffic for Marcus Blackmore’s Hooligan didn’t factor in a two-way breeze off Newcastle today, which handed Sam Hayne’s Celestial and Peter Wrigley’s Koa the major results. Check out Hover UAV's amazing video. Nuatali Nelmes - Lord Mayor of Newcastle

08.01.2022 That's all folks from the first SailFest Newcastle Regatta, with winners all round. Koa claimed TPR honours in the TP52s while Hooligan held on for an IRC victory. Thank you to all the hardy sailors who attended, and especially to our sponsors City of Newcastle. See www.ncyc.net.au/sailing/offshore-regattas/sail-fest/ for other results.

07.01.2022 If winning Newcastle's historic Cock of the Harbour honour ain't enough to crow about, now we're gonna SHOW YOU THE MONEY! It's open to all multihull and dinghy classes who'll share in $2000 in great prizes for Scratch and H'cap. That's in addition to a super 16-ft skiff pool. There are two races on the one day (Saturday 18 April). Enter at Port Hunter 16ft Skiff Sailing Club, Stockton. Phone 0408491746 or email [email protected] for details.

06.01.2022 Excited to see that a great new regatta is in the wind, with Newcastle Harbour one of the stopover ports in August this year.

05.01.2022 Sailfest Newcastle has joined the large number of regattas being cancelled due to the Coronavirus threat. Organisers will review a possible new date for later this year - otherwise, we'll see you next April. Take care and stay safe until then.

05.01.2022 Here's something you don't see every day, or evening for that matter - five of seven TP52s lined up at Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club ahead of tomorrow's first Gold Cup race, courtesy of City of Newcastle.

04.01.2022 "Like a rugby tour ... without the kicks in the head" - one of the better descriptions we've heard for the upcoming SailFest Newcastle Regatta :) Check out this preview video and enter at ncyc.net.au/sail-fest, with thanks to @CityNewcastle.

04.01.2022 Day 2 of Sailfest Newcastle began with 50 shades of grey clouds before a wild westerly made it Mission (almost) Impossible for off-the-beach and match-racing crews. Catch the incredible action from Hover UAV, including a blistering run by the skiff East Coast Marine and a F18 cat losing its rig.City of Newcastle, Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club, Aussie Skiffs \\ 13 & 16 Footers

01.01.2022 It's a lovely arvo for a cocktail or two to warmly welcome the TP52 crews to town for the inaugural Gold Cup, signature event of SailFest Newcastle. The 'formalities' run from 5-7pm at NCYC, ahead of tomorrow's passage race that starts 11am. City of Newcastle Nuatali J Nelmes

01.01.2022 SailFest Newcastle starts with a bang at 11am on Friday (March 29) with the TP52s lining up for a drag race from the Harbour to near Anna Bay and return.
