Lake Keepit Regatta
21 - 28 February 2026
The Keepit Regatta is where fun meets skill-building — a friendly, low-pressure event designed for pilots of all levels. Entries are limited to just 30 gliders for safety and quality, so every pilot gets the attention they deserve.

In 2026, we’re going back to the Regatta’s original mission:
Helping early cross-country pilots fly further, with confidence
Giving seasoned pilots the tools to sharpen their edge

The coaches - You’ll have the rare chance to fly at least once with one or more of the following coaches: Brad Edwards, Bruce Taylor, Allan Barnes, Andy Aveling.
Gliders - Two seaters include ASG32Mi (x2), Duo Discus (x2), DG1000 and Arcus M.
