7 & 8 March, 2026 - Middle Harbour Yacht Club

Commodores Welcome

Fellow sailors,

On behalf of the Middle Harbour Yacht Club it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 2026 Nautilus Marine Insurance Sydney Harbour Regatta, this being the 21st Anniversary of this prestigious regatta.

Sydney Harbour plays host to some of the most competitive and high-profile yacht racing regattas in Australia and the Sydney Harbour Regatta is the strongest competitive sailing regatta in Sydney since Sydney 2000 Olympic Regatta. 

This event has constantly attracted a diversity of participating boats and classes, setting it well on its way to a highly regarded international regatta. Originally established as the lead event for Sydney Harbour Week, which celebrates our harbour's diversity, the Sydney Harbour Regatta has rightly earned its reputation as Sydney Harbour's 'Sailing Spectacular', providing a perfect opportunity for us all to display to spectators the thrill and excitement that our sport offers.

Shore-side, this years event is guaranteed to be a wonderful festival of fun. With live entertainment and a beach party on Saturday evening, everyone will be well entertained!  A must do event to be noted in your social calendar.

I am confident you will enjoy this years event. I look forward to seeing you on the water and later on the Club's beach to share in the prizes and entertainment.

Yours in sailing

Rob Aldis
Commodore, MHYC
