Celebrating the good times with the “Dicko Cup”

Nearly 60 years from when the Dicko Cup started the RPAYC still celebrates this event based around the roots of the “carnival spirit.” The event has transformed into the Dicko Cup Marathon & Hallets Beach Cruise for the Australia Day weekend on January 28 & 29.

The weekend was all about "the carnival spirit" with participants being treated to some great racing on Pittwater and up the Hawkesbury to Hallets Beach. The Couta Boats also included their Pittwater Regatta with the Dicko Cup which made for a great event.
