Overview

Since the 1970s the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria’s Queenscliff to Grassy has been one of Australia’s classic bluewater races – a 200+ nautical mile sprint across Bass Strait that finishes in Grassy Harbour on the island’s east coast.

Yachts typically arrive over the March long weekend. The King Island Boat Club throws open its doors to the fleet for a post-race dinner and prize-giving, and it’s well worth heading down to watch the boats come in.
