2025 Wildcat Regatta | Notice of Race

The Wildcat Regatta is back and it’s more WILD than ever!

The NSWHCA’s man on the ground Mr. Michael ‘The Director’ Taylor, along with the widely renowned President of the Great Lakes Sailing Club, Tim Haffner, are all well and truly underway with the organisation of the fabled Wild Cat Regatta. Taking place once again over the October long weekend, Wildcat is by far the largest open catamaran regatta in Australia with just shy of 100 boats hitting the water last season.

Running of the back of the inaugural WaveGP, the NSW Hobie Family invites you all to Forster for the second event of the NSW Traveller Series for a weekend of fun and games, both on and off the water.

The NSWHCA can confirm that the Race Officer for the Wildcat Regatta will be the Hobie Family’s very own, Stephen Watt! As the PRO for the NSW States, JB Classic and WaveGP, we are stoked to have Watty on the start boat with the GLSC team.

We can already anticipate a 20 boat fleet of Hobie 14s, along with a dozen or more Hobie 18s on the water sending it with the F18s, F16s, Taipans, 5.8s, Maris and more. Stay tuned for more live action to come. Check out the NOR below, along with the online entry/camping form.
