Held from 24–26 April 2026, the championships were organised by the local North East Windsport Club and staged at Waratah Bay in Victoria’s South Gippsland region.

The championships delivered a thrilling showcase of land sailing, bringing together competitors from across Victoria for three days of fast-paced racing on the sweeping sands of Waratah Bay Beach.

Set against the scenic backdrop of Waratah Bay, the event combined speed, strategy, and community spirit—delivering a memorable weekend for competitors and spectators alike.
