The course is a beach start from Marengo Beach heading 100m straight out through the surf and turning left around a clearly positioned buoy. Continue east to the second buoy located 200m off Point Bunbury Bunbry, then past another buoy a further 200m east, before turning left and heading for the 4th buoy, 100m east of the Apollo Bay Harbour entrance.
