Fields are capped at 8 entries per event with competitors having a maximum of 3 rounds over the course of the Regatta. We will also feature a second round of racing for competitors in U 21, U17 and B Grade events, thus ensuring a minimum of 2 races in these categories. Please refer to the schedule of events, below.
