VIC State Titles at the George Mac Regatta - Royal Brighton YC, Melbourne, VIC, Australia, 25/26th March
RS Aero Victorian State Titles was held in conjunction with the George Mac Regatta at Royal Brighton Yacht Club. Racing was held in breeze from 6kts to 22kts and from flat seas to typical Port Phillip big waves.
The regatta saw a great turnout with 32 RS Aeros competing!
Michael O'Brien and Rhett Gowans were racing their RS Aero 6s for the first time, alongside the RS Aero 7 fleet, and enjoyed it.
Michael reported;
"In short, I love it. The RS Aero 6 is very light on the helm, so you need to steer accurately. Relative to the RS Aero 7, the RS Aero 6 is much more controllable and easier to sail upwind and down. Downwind in 24kts, it is so manageable. You can push it hard and really have fun on the waves. Instead of struggling for control, I’m in control!
Please thank all the development team for me. They did an awesome job."
Big thanks to the club, volunteers, race committee, sponsors & Sailing Raceboats Pty Ltd for their on-site support.
RESULTS
Next up on the agenda for VIC sailors is Sail Bellarine at Geelong, which follows regattas at Lake Boga and Yarrawonga.

There was a huge effort from the NSW RS Aero contingent, with 8 keen sailors driving down to compete.
The fleet winners were Robyn Ratcliffe (Georges River SC, NSW) in the RS Aero 5s, Michael O'Brien (Royal Brighton YC) in the RS Aero 6s and Ian Johnson (Mount Martha YC) in the RS Aero 7s. Bronwyn Ridgway (Sandringham YC) took the RS Aero 5 State Title as first VIC boat. Well done to all the medal winners!

Great to see over 30 RS Aeros signed up for this weekend's Victoria State Titles which are being held within the George Mac Regatta at Royal Brighton Yacht Club, Melbourne,
Entry List
The historic George Mac regatta has been a long-term fixture on the RBYC and the Bay junior sailing calendar after being founded as an annual event to honour the late George “Nugget” McCallum. 2015 marked the relaunch of the event as a multi-class off-the-beach regatta for all age groups.
