The Event

The Upside Cup is a sailing regatta where teams go head-to-head on the harbour (no experience needed).

Each team is hosted on a racing yacht with a professional skipper, so you’ll be right in the action whether you’re new or experienced.

Bring your team, clients, or friends and enjoy an afternoon of racing, connection, and friendly competition, followed by prizegiving, refreshments and a live auction.

What’s included

Team of 6 - $3,500 + GST

  • Entry for one boat (6 people)
  • Experienced skipper provided
  • Full race experience on the harbour
  • Food, refreshments + prizegiving
  • Opportunity to take part in our live auction

Only 6 boats remaining (these sell out quickly).

Why it matters + Get involved

Your team entry funds one full year of mentoring for a young person.

Upside supports young people aged 9-13 who are navigating tough life circumstances, connecting them with a consistent, positive adult in their corner each week.

One afternoon on the water = a year of impact.

Secure your boat and be part of something meaningful.
