Sailing Venue

 

The XXII IC World Championship will be held from the Jervis Bay Sailing Club, in one of the best patches of water on the east coast of Australia. With the course’s to be set within close proximity to the club, the last-minute dash to the start line will never be too far away (unless you really don’t time it well). 

 

Lake Macquarie Yacht Club, home to LMYC Bar and Crusoe’s on the Lake Restaurant is the perfect venue to dine and catch up with friends while admiring the beautifully unique view across Belmont Bay. Is pretty good for the sailing too, with launching ramps both sides of the clubhouse, ample parking and rigging area. 

The weather for February in Callala Bay is a daytime average High of 27 °C and Low of 19 °C. 

Winds, well we are going to say it is never like this at this time of year! Typical for January is the seabreeze from the east to north east ranging from 10 to 20 knots. The water conditions are as good as they get anywhere in the world with only a wind chop to play against with little to no tide noticeable. Occasionally we get a SE see breeze again from 10-20 knots & we will get a SE swell from the Tasman sea & a wind blown chop

Food available the club restaurant/bistro. Coles, Woolworths, bakery’s etc are in walking distance of the club. 

Closest Chandlery is Revolution Sails in Nowra (20mins drive) from the club which has a range of fittings, ropes etc and sail repair services, though it would be advised to bring spares if possible.

We have a few loan/charter boats available and these will go quick, so be sure to Register your interest early! (priority going to countries that don’t have a container going and then it will be first come first serve).
