The Skate class is proud to announce that the major naming rights sponsor for the 66th annual National Skate Sailing Championship will be retailer Bing Lee.

Bing Lee have been big supporters of the sailing community in Australia and we are thrilled they have seen fit to get on board with the Skates.

The Bing Lee National Skate Championship will be conducted over seven heats at St. George Sailing Club, Sans Souci, from the 30th December 2024 to the 5th January 2025.

The original Skate was conceived and developed on Botany Bay and Georges River so it's only fitting the class returns to those waters for this prestigious regatta at the new St. George clubhouse in Sans Souci.

A Legends and Sponsors day will be held at the St. George Clubhouse from 1 pm on Friday the 3rd of January with heats 5 and 6 to be conducted in front of the club (conditions permitting) on that day. All former Skate sailors and their families are welcome.

There are few quality boats left to charter for the regatta. For further detail on the regatta, social calendar or charter boats go to www.skatesailingaustralia.org or direct enquiries to

If you have any interest in sponsoring an individual heat of the regatta (only a couple left) please let us know at the above email address.
