The Robberg Fine Foods Classic Beach Regatta is going to be bigger and even better this festive season. Regatta organisers have won the bid to host the Hobie 16 National Regatta, sponsored by Robberg Fine Foods, in Plett! Where else?!

DATE: Sat 14 to Tue 17 December 2024
TIME: 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
VENUE: Hobie Beach, Plett
ENTRY: Competitors: Adults R1,200.00 | Kids R8.00 

This annual regatta is one of the largest and most competitive sailing class competitions in South Africa. Testament to the growing success of the annual Robberg Fine Foods Classic Beach Regatta held every December, sailors will be coming from around the country to race over 4 days – from Saturday the 14th December to Tuesday the 17th December.

Make your way to one of Plett’s many beautiful viewing spots to watch the country’s finest Hobie sailors fight it out for line honours on the water. Look out too for local sailing legends and world champions, Blaine Dodds and William Edwards, who are also on the regatta organising committee. Dodds and Edwards, sailing in their backyard, will be hard to beat this year.

Hobie sailing is an inclusive, family-friendly activity and all sailors will be welcome to enter this event. And for those of you not yet fortunate enough to have had a taste of Hobie sailing, come down to the beach. Hobie sailors are a friendly bunch who will be happy to chat.

Health warning: Hobie sailing is addictive!
