June 2020 marks the 30th running of the Australian Women's Keelboat Regatta.
Run by Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron in St Kilda over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend in June, the AWKR is a notoriously fun, often cold and always very competitive regatta.
Over the past few years the AWKR has consistently attracted over 160 sailors and their supporters from across Australia and New Zealand. This year we aim to bring you something a little bit different and we hope you enjoy the event as much as we are enjoying putting this event together.
Due to the current situation with COVID - 19 and with the well being of our competitors in mind the RMYS has had to take the steps of cancelling the 2020 AWKR regatta. Please contact them on or 03 9534 0227 if you have any questions.
