The vibrant Western Australian radio sailing scene continues to grow, and a recent visit to RC Sailing Busselton highlighted just how strong and welcoming the local club community is in the region.

Western Australian sailors will travel east in the coming weeks to compete in the Australian Championships for the Marblehead, Ten Rater, DF65 and DF95 classes, with events scheduled in Queensland and New South Wales.

What a wild day for sailing? Forecast was for south west winds between 14 to 25 knots with 3.2mls of rain between 12.30 to 4.00pm.

As usual the average winds were more like 5 - 15 knots but there were gusts over 20knots that laid over A and B rigged sail boats with ease.

Even experienced skippers were unable to keep the bow up above the water at times.

Sunday 27 July is the Perth Classic Regatta for both the IOM Class as well as the DF95 Class. Racing will commence nice and early - first race will be at 0930 hrs and will continue through until about 4.00pm - weather permitting!

WAnderers Radio Sailing Club invite DF95 skippers, partners, friends and followers to a weekend of social sailing, racing, wining and dining at the lovely Bettenay's Winery in Cowaramup.

Albany, WA – 21–22 June 2025

Why would anyone travel to Albany—one of the southernmost and coldest points in Western Australia—to race IOM yachts in the heart of winter? That question was put to the test over the weekend as fifteen brave skippers lined up for the 2025 IOM Great Southern Regatta, greeted by icy winds, freezing rain, as they took to the water at the home of the Albany Radio Sailing Club.
