Redink Homes Fremantle to Geraldton Race Results


This year's race, proudly sponsored by Redink Homes, is aiming to attract its biggest fleet ever for this year’s 40th Anniversary Geraldton Ocean Classic.

The race --- Western Australia ’s iconic blue water yachting event --- will bring together the cream of WA’s offshore yachts and crews.

The north-bound race will start off Leighton Beach at 1330 on Friday, October 17. The return to Fremantle will start in Geraldton Harbour at 1030, Friday 24.

The week in Geraldton will also see the staging of the Lobster Pot series and a busy social calendar, taking in the highlights of Geraldton and the region.

The fastest time for a conventionally ballasted yacht is 19 hours 47 minutes set by Walk on the Wildside in 1997.

 

The race is WA’s only annual Category 2 event and the organizers will be able to provide life-rafts for those looking to take part in the event.

Invitations are being sent to yacht clubs throughout the State and organizers have set a goal of 40 yachts to complete in the 40th race.
