To celebrate our 25th Anniversary we hope to run our second ever Birdsville Track Race

On the last day of the 2010 Regatta the LEYC made history by conducting a yacht race along a road. Furthermore that the race was held on Australia's most iconic road - The Birdsville Track.
The slider below shows the boats assembled at the finish line after crossing Cooper Creek in flood and the same scene a few years later. The race covered 3.8km of the 5km crossing with one rule - You had to sail between the road markers wherever possible!
