The first Edencraft Owners' Fishing Comp — Geelong
Friday 13 to Sunday 15 November 2026
Enter the Comp — $200
Not everyone will own an Edencraft. The people who do already know why.
Friday and Saturday belong to owners and their crews. Two days on the water, two nights on the factory floor with food, cold drinks and the band. Doesn't matter if your hull came out of the shed two months ago or thirty years ago, and it doesn't matter if you're not bringing a boat this weekend. If you own an Edencraft, you're in.
Lines in from 6am, weigh-in by 5pm, then a barbecue and beers at Edencraft HQ with everyone who's been out there all day.
Fish your own plan, final weigh-in by 5pm, then a whole pig and lamb on the spit at Edencraft HQ with Good Faces 4 Radio playing live to celebrate the first fishing comp.
Fleet photo at Limeburners at 10.30am, joy rides from 10.30 to 11.30 for anyone who wants to come out on an Edencraft, back at HQ from midday for lunch and the 2pm presentation. Done by 3pm.
No home water, no boundary. Just two days to fish. Fish wherever you reckon you'll find them — the categories are tied to species, not postcodes. Every fish has to be on the scales at Edencraft before the cut-off to count, and every category you place in earns points toward the Legends Trophy.
One condition to enter: you own an Edencraft.
Overall champion boat, decided on points across the two days. Most points wins, and takes home a cabin, food and drinks paid for at the annual Edencraft Eden Escape.
Points accrue to the boat. Ties broken by heaviest single fish across all categories. Prizes for every category are being locked in now and will be published here before the comp.
However you want to sleep, we've got you covered. Book an Airbnb or hotel in Geelong, reach out if you want a recommendation, or bring the caravan, a tent or a swag and stay on site at Edencraft. Toilets and showers are available all weekend no matter where you're staying, and we'll store your boat in our yard for the whole weekend.
Undertow Saltwater Apparel is back at the Owners Weekend, and they're printing every registered Edencraft boat one free custom cotton T-shirt with your boat name on it. It's their way of adding something personal to the weekend and thanking the Edencraft community for having them along again.
Registered boats only. Enter by Monday 2 November 2026 so Undertow has time to print every shirt before the weekend. We'll email every registered owner Undertow's details, or ask us and we'll send them through. They'll need your name, boat name, shirt size and a contact number. Miss the date and a shirt can't be guaranteed.
If the weather turns, you're in an Edencraft, so the comp goes on. Unless there's a Gale warning, in which case even we're not insured for that, so we'll pause the on-water event until it blows through.
If it's still too rough by Sunday, the on-water component is off, but the factory runs regardless: supplier stalls, factory tours, live music, food and the 2pm presentation, whatever the weather.
We'll make the call by 6am Sunday morning and let every entered crew know by SMS and email.
$200 per boat, whole crew covered. Owners attending without a boat pay the same $200 if bringing family or friends, and it covers the dinners, drinks and heritage hoodie either way. Want another for the crew? Extra heritage hoodies go on sale at $150 a jumper, made to mark ten years at the helm. We'll email the list once samples are in. Entries close Friday 6 November 2026.
