Heritage
Now in its 15th year, Sail Paradise is a dedicated offshore sailing regatta born to test crews against the rising standards and professionalism required in the sport of offshore yacht racing. Each year the event has grown, regularly attracting entries everywhere between the Whitsundays to Sydney, as well as boats from further afield. Originally run as a high-summer regatta in January, since 2023 the event has moved to the Queensland’s King’s Birthday long weekend in October.
With the Gold Coast home to so many fantastic resorts and things to do, Sail Paradise is the perfect opportunity for family members of crew to enjoy a quintessential Queensland long weekend holiday.
