Yorke Peninsula's Saltwater Classic is
a special event for enthusiasts and
admirers of wooden and classic boats.
The regatta is open to all sail and
power boats, but with a focus on
classic craft. The Australian
Maritime Museum defines a classic
boat as “any vessel with unique and
enduring qualities.” Put simply,
beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
The biennial event attracts people
from across Australia to parade their
boats in the waters off the sister
towns of Stansbury and Port Vincent,
and it draws spectators to a variety of water-based and shore-based
attractions. Yorke Peninsula’s Saltwater Classic is a community-
based event that has become a significant tourism feature on
Yorke Peninsula. Isn’t it about time you visited?Yorke Peninsula’s
