Over thirty years ago, a couple of small boat sailors decided to test themselves around a tight, winding course from Clayton Bay through Dunn’s Lagoon, around the Rat Island, and back to Clayton Bay.

Christies Sailing Club was incorporated in 1958 and has continued over the years to support and encourage competitive sailing in the south of Adelaide. This sailing season we are hosting a long race from Christies Beach to the wreck of the HMAS Hobart, which lies in waters just off the coast from Wirrina, and back.  The name of the race is the ‘Christies to Hobart, Onkaparinga Coast Yacht Classic’ and will be held on Saturday and Sunday, 2nd and 3rd of March 2019.

Round Three of the SA Youth Tri Series is coming up on the 9-10 February at Largs Bay Sailing Club.
