Free to the general public is the Skandia "learn to sail" program for all age groups, Geelong Waterfront Saturday January 24th, Sunday January 25th and Monday January 26th 2008. Skandia Geelong Week is widely acknowledged as Australia's largest sailing event. First held in 1844, it is Victoria's oldest sporting event and attracts more than 400 yachts and 4000 sailors. Having developed a sister relationship with the world's largest sailing regatta, Skandia Cowes Week in the United Kingdom, the regatta is set to become one of the world's leading yachting events. |
