Calling all catamaran racers
Give your sailing skills a workout at the Palm Beach Sailing Club’s annual Bullets regatta held this year on the weekend of November 16 and 17 2019.
Running now for more than 50 years, the ‘Beware the Bullets’ regatta is open to any off-the-beach catamaran. It’s a fun, friendly weekend for all ages on beautiful Pittwater, and if you’re a gun – a real test of your sailing skills.

Boats will rig and launch from Sandy Point, (via Sandy Point Lane), while the actual Palm Beach Sailing Club is located on Iluka Rd. Breakfast and lunch will be provided at a reasonable price by our friendly Club members.
