History

The event was originally called the Gippsland Interclub Open Sailing Regatta (GIOSR) commonly called the Geeza, then it was changed to the YV Eastern Region Regatta.

Clubs that have previously been involved, but are no longer active, are Lake Glenmaggie YC (located at Coongulla), Corner Inlet BC (located at Port Welshpool) and Snowy River BC (located at Marlo).

In the 70's clubs nominated their teams, which were made up of 3 boats in each division. Other club members were welcome to attend but raced separately from the teams and their results did not count towards the GIOSR result.
