🏁 TLC Healthcare International RS Aero Class 2026 Victorian Sailing Championships – Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club 🏆

The TLC Healthcare International RS Aero Class 2026 Victorian Sailing Championships brought together a strong fleet of RS Aero sailors to Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club from 7–9 March, with conditions that tested tactical racing and boat handling across three days of competition on Port Phillip Bay. The event was run in conjunction with the RS Aero Association of Australia and featured competitive one‑design racing across all four rig sizes.

Across a series of races, competitors battled shifting breezes and lively bay chop — conditions that rewarded smart starts, clean upwind work and decisive downwind tactics. With multiple races completed in each fleet, every point counted in determining the state champions.
