We’re back on! More than two years down the track from its original date (thanks COVID) – The 2022 Javelin South Pacific and/or Australian titles will be held at Lake Cootharaba Sailing Club, on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland. Depending on the ability of our Kiwi Brothers and Sisters to travel and return without restrictions, it may be that the regatta becomes an Australian titles, however we are aiming for a South Pacific Championship.
‘The Lake’ is home to the developing fleet of new Javelin sailors that are leading a revival of the class in Queensland.
The expansive flat waters and predominate sea breezes together with a range of accommodation options make ‘The Lake’ a fantastic location for the regatta.
The Lake itself is a popular tourist destination however it is only short drive to Noosa and many other of the Northern Sunshine Coast tourist
destinations, making it a holiday that everyone will enjoy. Come for the sailing, but then stay for a while and explore!
The titles will be held from Friday 20th to Wednesday 25th May 2022 – NOR, SI and entry fee will be available shortly.
ACCOMMODATION
The Lake is a popular destination yeae round, so it’s important that Javelin Sailors book accommodation ASAP to avoid having to travel too far before and after sailing.
There is a range of accommodation available within walking distance of the club including:
Outside of these ‘The Lake is a 15 minute drive from Tewantin and 20 – 25 minutes from Noosaille/Noosa where a huge range of accommodation options are available. See follow this link for accommodation contact details at ’The Lake’ and nearby camp grounds.
LOGISTICS
Lake Cootharaba sailing Club has a secured boat storage facility located 5 minutes walk from the club. Several of the local Javelin sailors also live at The Lake or a short drive from it and have properties that can accommodate delivery/storage of containers and/or trailers.
Boat delivery can be coordinated through the Queensland Javelin sailors who will organise to take delivery of and store the boats until you arrive from
interstate or NZ.
