June 2019 marks the 29th running of the Australian Women's Keelboat Regatta. 

​

Held annually at 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.
