Lake Mac Youth Sail 2023 NSW

Lake Mac Youth Sail NSW is a three day coaching clinic and a three day regatta. This year the event moves to the northern part of Lake Macquarie and we are very pleased to announce a change of name with the Lake Macquarie City Council coming onboard as major sponsor of this event. Teralba Amateur Sailing Club will host the event, with Speers Point ASC, Toronto ASC and Wangi ASC partnering with Australian Sailing to run the racing.
