• the Winter Series of competitive and social races on Saturdays and Sundays running from May through to August - Champagne sailing!.

A major event on the keel boat calendar is The South Coast Regatta - a family regatta over two days in early January. During the holiday season boats from the club also make the trip to Jervis Bay to participate in races hosted by the Jervis Bay Sailing Club.

Off the Beach

The off-the-beach activities are mainly at Tuross Head Coila Lake.  In addition, there is:

• the ANZAC Day Weekend Regatta when Batemans Bay Sailing Club hosts two days of races for multiple classes of off-the-beach and trailable yachts held on the waters of Batemans Bay. This regatta attracts competitive sailors, some of whom are vying for state and national titles. It's a real festival of sail.
