International 14 Australian Championships
This summer Black Rock Y.C is proud to be hosting the 105th International 14 Foot Skiff National Championships (starting from 28th December 2022). We are expecting competitors from all around Australia to descend on the club to provide some excellent and exciting racing, this event is sure to be a colourful spectacle both on and off the water.
The I14 is one of the world’s premier sailing classes, steeped in history, it is now a high-tech carbon racing machine with exception performance, offering scintillating rides. The club has been a home of the I14 for many decades, with many a Black Rock sailor enjoying the class as they passed through the ranks.
