With the major impacts of COVID19 hopefully behind us, the Organising Committee has begun planning for the 2021 Davistown Putt Putt Regatta & Wooden Boat Festival and the related events of the Kids With Cancer Heritage Challenge and the Putt Putt Regatta Charity Dinner. The dates being planned for this year are:
Putt Putt Charity Dinner – Friday, 22nd October at the Davistown RSL
Kids With Cancer Heritage Ferry Challenge – Saturday, 23rd October
Davistown Putt Putt Regatta & Wooden Boat Festival – Sunday, 24th October
With a gap of 2 years between events we are planning for a bumper weekend of entertainment, fun & boating for all the family.
Our ability to run the event/s will continue to be impacted by NSW Government regulations relating to COVID-19, approvals from Central Coast Council, Police, Roads and Maritime and our ability to raise funds from our current and hopefully some new sponsors.
We will continue provide information and updates through our web page (https://www.davistownputtputt.com), our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/davistownputtputtregatta/) and update Blogs.
The Regatta Committee is pleased to announce the creation of an all new online shop for Regatta merchandise. All of our current and historic merchandise including polo shirts, T-Shirts (Adults and Kids), Stubby Coolers, Dry Bags and others are available for online purchase for as long as stocks last. Purchase of goods will help to provide greater exposure for the Putt Putt Regatta & Wooden Boat Festival and, importantly, will greatly assist our fund raising efforts for the 2021 Regatta which will prove to be a challenge.

But for this strange COVID-19 affected year, yesterday would have been the day of the Davistown Putt Putt Regatta & Wooden Boat Festival which we unfortunately had to cancel earlier in the year. Rather than let the day pass by completed unmarked, a number of enthusiasts elected to gather at Davistown in a variety of Putt Putts (old and new) and cruise to Waterfall Bay and back. The weather was reasonably kind to us and a number gathered back at the Davistown Waterfront for a drink or two and to exchange stories. There were about 15 boats involved and a good day was had by all.
It is with a great deal of regret that the Organising Committee has reached a decision to cancel the 2020 Davistown Putt Putt Regatta & Wooden Boat Festival.
The Committee has been monitoring the current situation regarding the outbreaks of COVID-19 in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, the changing public health measures and the high likelihood that the virus will still be in the general community in November. Our particular structure on the Davistown Waterfront means that we cannot control crowd numbers and cannot adequately police appropriate social distancing. This, coupled with our concerns for the local community and the likely influx of visitors, has meant that we had no other option.
This was a tough decision to reach especially coming on the heels of an extremely successful 2019 event. We all look forward to being able to run bigger and better events in 2021.
The cancellation also applies to the Putt Putt Charity Dinner and the Kids with Cancer Heritage Ferry Challenge.
The Committee would like to thank our major sponsors – Central Coast Council, Mitre10 Kincumber, Central Coast Motor Group, Davistown RSL, Edge Real Estate Saratoga, Central Coast Floormaster, Bendigo Bank – for once again supporting us and we hope to see you back for the 2021 event.
The detailed program for Sunday has been locked down. The following images will show you the overall boating program and also the Entertainment program on the main stage. The weather gods appear to be looking at kindly so see you on Sunday for a great day on the Davistown Waterfront.
Why not eliminate any parking worries and ride the Ferry. Central Coast Ferries has been a long time supporter of the Regatta and this year is no
different. The MV Sorrento will be providing services throughout the day.
Catch the Train or Bus to Woy Woy, a short walk to Woy Woy Public Wharf where you can board the ferry “MV Sorrento” for the short scenic trip to the Davistown Putt Putt Regatta & Wooden Boat Festival.
No need to drive, no fuss, no parking .. Just jump aboard the ferry.
