Victorian ILCA (Laser) Association
The ILCA (nee-Laser) is a single-handed racing dinghy, sailed by Olympians but also sailed every weekend across the world where sailors young and old just want to “fang about". Each dinghy is virtually identical whether they are brand new or 10 years old, making it the sailor that wins the race, not the boat. The ILCA Laser is a challenging boat that rewards athleticism, fitness, subtle steering and trimming techniques, as well as tactical excellence. It is a singlehanded Olympic class boat for both men and women and is sailed at the local yacht club, national and international levels. With over 225,000 boats in 140 countries, it is the world’s most popular adult, youth and family racing sailboat.
2025 ILCA Masters Oceania and Australian Championships
21 – 24 February 2025 Venue: Balnarring Beach, Victoria, Australia
Enties are now open. To encourage growth in the ILCA4 division, a special entry fee of AUD120 is provided. This provides a masters pathway for lighter sailors typically under 70Kg, who otherwise find the ILCA6 too demanding, to continue their ILCA journey.

The event is being run with the generous support of the Victorian Government through their Significant Sportng Events Program.
