The Sail Port Stephens website has undergone a birthday over the last 6 months, spent some quality time on the IT Hardstand, and is now back live.
Check it all out at
www.sailportstephens.com.au
The Organising Authority, Corlette Point Sailing Association, together with the Event Management team have been working hard over the winter to build on the success of 2009 to make 2010 bigger and better than ever.
There's fantastic offshore and inshore courses that allow Race Director Denis Thompson to make the best of any conditions, there's truly affordable accommodation with self contained 2 bedroom apartments starting at $566 for the entire week, as well as a fun and family friendly social program - this really is the regatta with something for everyone !
To compliment and deliver on the promise of being family friendly, the event organisers have also got together with local attractions and activities to create a great Kids Program - read more about that on the website.
There are a number of product partners that have joined the Sail Port Stephens family for 2010 with some sensational prizes on offer during the regatta for all competitors.
Our Foundation sponsors; Peppers Anchorage, All Season Salamander Shores and Shoal Bay Resort and Spa - have got great accommodation deals again in prime locations around the Bay - and our new accommodation partner Winning Holidays, has got a huge range self contained apartments to choose from - many within easy walking distance of d'Albora Marina.

Race from Pittwater to Newcastle on the 10th of April, then Newcastle to Port Stephens on the 11th and be in the middle of it all right from the start.
There's laid back racing in the Commodores Cup to kick off the regatta, followed by the Yachting NSW IRC Championships later in the week, together with the Port Stephens Trophy (PHS) - which will feature two divisions this year - Cruising and Racing.
Sail Port Stephens 2010 - 12th to the 18th of April - the best is yet to come!
