The Series will be headlined by Southport Yacht Club’s premier flagship event, the Qoin Sail Paradise 2023 Regatta, which will run from 2 January to 6 January.

The Southport Yacht Club will work with Club Partners at Queensland Cruising Yacht Club and Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron to offer a fantastic array of sailing events for local, interstate and international skippers and crew to participate in.
