The event kicks off with the Passage Race on Friday 26th January and celebrations in the Festival Village on Friday and Saturday nights. Entry to the Festival Village is free. Expect fireworks, well-known Australian musicians and performers, the RAAF Roulettes, great food and beverages.

It’s not the first time the RC Laser has been included in the Geelong Festival of Sails program. Back in 2004, we were invited to demonstrate the boat and ran a series of social races. It was a tremendous event to be part of and for 2018 we would love it if you could join us.
RC Laser sailors are invited to bring your boats and sail a series of social races and demonstrate your sailing skills! Please contact us at info@radiosail.com.au for further information.
