Home - Australian Sports Boat Association
www.asba.org.au
The Australian Sports Boat Association (ASBA) is the association representing sports boat sailors in Australia. The Association is fully affiliated with Yachting Australia and aims to regulate and promote the racing of sports boats at regattas throughout Australia.ASBA members and supporters as you are aware the covid 19 virus has cancelled alot of activities on and off the water. Cancelled racing that has directly affected us is Sail Port Stephens and the NSW state titles, Sports boats Saturdays at RQYS and also the annual Bay to Bay. At this time the ASBA committee has to stand by and wait for the virus to pass and events to start back up again. But when this happens we will plan and organise regattas with the support of the members as soon as possible. Be ready to finish 2020 with a bang. In the mean time Airlie Beach Race Week is still going ahead to my best knowledge and we are still taking bookings for berthing. We will do our best to keep you all updated as best as we can.
Thanks for your understanding. ASBA Committee.

Guys this means NSW state titles are called off also. The Asba committee will have a chat about what this means for us and we will keep you all informed via Facebook.We deeply regret to advise that Sail Port Stephens is now officially CANCELLED for April 2020 in line with tighter restrictions imposed this week by NSW Health authorities, and following extensive consultation with sponsors and stakeholders.
Ultimately the health of competitors and the community was paramount in these unpredictable and unprecedented circumstances. We trust this early announcement will assist those requiring re-booking or reimbursement on their accommodation and berthing. Please contact your providers.
While this position will be reviewed if regulations change, please note that dates for 2021 are 19-25 APRIL.
We thank our sponsors, suppliers and competitors for their loyal support and look forward to welcoming you back to Nelson Bay in 2021.
Support our sponsors and support local businesses. All our sponsors and links to their pages are on the website, www.asba.org.auOur doors are open and its business as usual at our Evolution Sails Loft. To our cruisers getting ready to head off, and to our racers preparing for the big Easter regattas, we hope your events are still going ahead in this crazy time and we've got your back! It's times like this your local custom means the world to your local small business and its staff. We thank you for your support and wish everyone the best of health.
