The annual HMAS Perth Memorial Regatta hosted by Nedlands Yacht Club commemorates the loss of the HMAS Perth (D-29) at the ferocious 1st of March Battle of Sunda Strait during which 352 Australian servicemen perished along with Capt. Hector Waller, DSO, RAN.

 

The regatta is an open invitational yardstick regatta for off the beach dinghies and catamarans, keelboats, trailable cruisers, sportsboats and multihulls.  Racing is divided into 6 divisions based on class performance
