Inverloch Classic Wooden Dinghy Regatta
The Inverloch Classic Wooden Dinghy Regatta is one of Australia's premier
celebrations of classic sailing craft. Held annually on Andersons Inlet, the regatta
brings together wooden boat enthusiasts from across the country for a weekend of
on-water activity and racing, camaraderie and maritime heritage.

The Regatta weekend includes a mix of social activities, a series of 4 races and a
relaxed display of classic boats on the beach and at the sailing club. On Saturday

Boat Classes.

The regatta welcomes a wide range of classic wooden dinghies including Moths
(born right here in Inverloch), Herons, Sabots, VJs, Mirrors, and many more. If it is
wooden and it sails, it belongs at the ICWDR.

The Len Morris Story

The regatta honours the legacy of Len Morris, a founding figure of wooden dinghy
sailing in Inverloch. His passion for craftsmanship and sailing on Anderson Inlet
inspired a generation of boat builders and sailors, and his spirit lives on every time a
wooden hull hits the water at the regatta.
