We're thrilled to announce that the Australian Nikki Championship 2026 is heading to McCrae Yacht Club, Victoria, from January 5-10, 2026!
Get ready for an epic foiling spectacle! This event will be held with the Australian Championships for the International Moth Class, bringing together some of the nation's best sailors for a truly unmissable experience.
McCrae YC is a prime location for foiling, serving as the heart of Victoria's foiling scene for Moths, A-class Catamarans, and also the birthplace of Nikki. Sailors can look forward to perfect conditions, with predominantly flat water and south-westerly sea breezes in a picturesque setting.
Registration and the Notice of Race (NOR) are available at:https://mccraeyc.com.au/event/moth-nationals

You'll find a wide array of accommodation choices, from Airbnbs and hotels/motels to convenient camping options along the peninsula foreshore. To ensure you get your preferred location, we strongly advise booking early.
The fun doesn't stop at the water's edge! The Mornington Peninsula offers a fantastic range of activities for families on holiday, from beautiful walks and bike trails to an array of wineries, breweries, and distilleries for adults. Discover more at https://www.visitmorningtonpeninsula.org/.

Join the Capel Sound Invitational
If you can come early, just after Christmas, join the Capel Sound Invitational! This is a fun, free reach race held between McCrae’s neighbouring clubs, Rosebud and Rye. It's held on the best weather day between December 27th and 30th. Last year, 85 boats competed, and it's a great way to get on the water before the nationals.
