The Ossie McCutcheon Trophy Regatta is FFI-V’s main coaching event for the season. We return to Gippsland Lakes Yacht Club in Paynesville for this year’s Ossie Mc event that will again precede the States by one week. It is a great warm up for the States and with the convenience of leaving your boat at GLYC makes for an easy transition into the States. This should be a great weekend of fun and learning.

The 60th FFI-V 2024 State Championships is Victoria’s principal event for the season and we are pleased to have Gippsland Lakes YC as this season’s host.
