A Putt Putt Regatta substitute
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.
Everyone is looking forward to the 2021 Regatta.
***2020 Davistown Regatta Cancelled***
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.

Our Sponsors Bendigo Bank Kincumber are open and happy to assist with all your financial needs or with hardship support.

Bring the Kids to the Regatta
The countdown begins – only 8 weeks to go to the 20th Anniversary of the Davistown Putt Putt Regatta & Wooden Boat Festival on Sunday 20th October 2019. While the Regatta has always had amusements for the kids, this year we are making some changes. Along with the ever popular mini jeeps and Duckland we are adding some different entertainments. We will have Zorb Balls, a Carnival Slide, and the Wipeout Challenge. The new rides will be $5 and 20% of that amount will go directly to the Kids with Cancer Foundation of Australia.
The ever popular Laughing Clowns will also be present so bring the kids and enjoy the Children’s Precinct at the Davistown Illoura Reserve just near the Dart & Feather restaurant. The NSW Corp of Marines will also be present throughout the day and have always been a hit with the kids.
See you on the day.
