The Ossie McCutcheon Trophy Regatta is FFI-V’s main coaching event for the season. Davey’s Bay Yacht Club is the venue 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 with the convenience of leaving your boat at DBYC makes for an easy transition into the States. This should be a great weekend of learning on the same waters as this year’s Australian Championships
The 61st FFI-V 2024-025 State Championships is FFI-Victoria’s principal event for the season and we are pleased to have Davey’s Bay YC as this season’s host.
