Venue

Sailing World Cup Final plays host to six amazing days of world class Sailing with a special entertainment program combining the excitement of world class Olympic sailing, good food and wine, vibrant people, engaging lifestyle entertainment and spectacular views of Port Phillip Bay.

ST KILDA SAILING PRECINCT
St Kilda is an inner southern suburb of Melbourne, 6 kilometres south-east of Melbourne's Central Business District. The St Kilda Sea Baths and the Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron together form the St Kilda Sailing Precinct with the regatta office and event stage situated within this area. This year the Sailing World Cup Final hopes to create a festival vibe by showcasing the sailing events to the public.

St Kilda is located on a sandy stretch of Port Phillip between Albert Park and Elwood. St Kilda is home to many of Melbourne's famous visitor attractions including Luna Park, the Esplanade Hotel, Acland Street and Fitzroy Street. It is home to St Kilda Beach, Melbourne's most famous beach, several renowned theatres and several of Melbourne's big events and festivals. The most famous attraction on St Kilda's beach is the St Kilda Pier. This landmark was originally constructed in 1853 and the iconic kiosk on the pier built in 1904. Near the entrance to the pier are the St Kilda Sea Baths, with the current complex having been built in the 1990s.

PORT PHILIP BAY
Melbourne is situated at the top of Port Phillip Bay, with 2,000sq kilometres of deep open water unaffected by tide or geographical features, regular sea breezes averaging 15 knots, summer water temperature of 20°C and daily air temperature between 25°C and 30°C.

One of the world's best waterway for sailing, Port Philip is host to a variety of marine and ecological environments, unique to the area and of great significance to Australia's natural diversity. Studies show that Port Phillip is a dynamic and self-sustaining ecosystem which is healthier and cleaner than comparable bays near large cities. Every year millions of people enjoy its vast coastline, world-class swimming beaches and coastal parks, and all within easy reach of central Melbourne.

Marine reserves dot the Bay and have been set aside to safeguard important marine habitats and species, significant natural features, cultural heritage and aesthetic values.

MELBOURNE
Melbourne is a city famous for its sense of style. Glamorous events are a trademark of the city, as are its cafes, wineries and shops. Melbourne boasts a lifestyle experience. There are beautiful buildings, fantastic shopping precincts and countless shows, exhibitions and galleries to entertain. It is also very easy to get around with the constant stream of trams. Money from the goldrush of the late 19th century built much of the city. Today, the magnificent architecture of this era still stands.

Just outside the city limits lies a world of natural beauty. The Twelve Apostles are accessible for a day trip although it is recommended you take your time travelling down the Great Ocean Road. Wilson's Promontory, a playground of wild animals, beaches, and forests, is only 3-hours' drive away. Just around the corner on Philip Island is the famous penguin parade. Each night, hundreds of penguins shuffle ashore with plenty of room for spectators to enjoy.

Only 50kms or one hour's drive out of Melbourne is the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges, a region of hills, forests, and most importantly, wine. There are over 200 vineyards in Victoria with each producing magnificent wines.
Further north is the high country where you can ski - and walk, kayak, canoe, abseil, fly and cycle. It is in these hills that Banjo Paterson wrote the poem, The Man from Snowy River. (Banjo also wrote the world-famous song, Waltzing Matilda.)
Wherever you turn in Victoria, you will be surprised with the diversity. It is a distinctive part of Australia with many unique experiences to be found.
