Regatta takes in Woy Woy channel

Around 10,000 spectators are expected to watch the annual Davistown Putt Putt Regatta and Wooden Boat Festival on Sunday, October 24.

The festival will feature the Regatta and Putt Putt Challenge with 60 craft taking a course including several areas around the Peninsula including St Hubert's Island, Daley's Point, Woy Woy channel and Pelican Island.

Event coordinator Mr Darren Isaacs said the event was sure to be an enjoyable day out for all the family.

"The course provides the opportunity to view those craft participating in the Challenge or the main event when entrants will pass Woy Woy and Lions Park from between about 10.30am and midday."

Mr Isaacs said he had received expressions of interest from putt putt and wooden boat owners as far north as Nambour and Tweed Heads and as far south to Narooma as well as Canberra, Bathurst and Mudgee.

"Feedback from visitors and participants from last year's event indicates that the Davistown Putt Putt Regatta and Wooden Boat Festival Inc has firmly established itself as one of the premier wooden boat festivals and this year is shaping up as one of the major tourist draw cards on the Central Coast," Mr Isaacs said.
