The new National Committee are very happy to announce that the Cherub’s will be heading South to Largs Bay Sailing Club (SA) once again for the 2024-25 National Championship from the 28th December – 3rd January. Please update your calendars as we hope to see you all there.
If the 2018-2019 Largs Bay National Championship were anything to go by, your racing days will be filled with strong winds, rolling waves and the occasional shark-spotting helicopter. And for your nights, in the works is a jam packed social calendar that we are excited to share with you all in the lead up to the regatta.
As it is our 60th year of sailing National Championships in Australia, we hope to see many faces, old and new, taking to the water to celebrate the vibrant and tight-knit community we have cultivated together throughout the years. Help us get to 60 Cherubs for the 60th!
We encourage you to peruse your accommodation options as soon as possible. Airbnbs and hotels are in limited supply on the peninsula at this time of year! An extended accommodation guide is provided below.
