Welcome to the new Victorian Radio Yachting Association Inc (VRYA) website.

Radio sailing has grown over the past 5 years, Victoria has seen new clubs and new classes emerge, promoting radio sailing. There are six clubs within Victoria that are all affiliated with the VRYA. These Clubs sail an individual class or a mixture of classes determined by the club's members. The classes go from the nationally sanctioned One Meters right down to the RC Laser class and the Micro Magic’s.

Victoria welcomes all classes, encourages and promotes all the new classes as well. Involving itself in running of state championships, public open days and open sailing days at a number of Victorian big boat clubs, to encourage the sport of radio sailing.

The Association, on behalf of the Australian Radio Yachting Association Inc (ARYA) conducts all aspects of the sport including State Championships, with club racing being conducted and managed by its member clubs state wide. The contacts   shown throughout the site will welcome your enquiries.

Over the last 2 years Radio sailing has grown in a number of different areas, with the Laser class number growing down at waterways and with Victoria to host the Australian Laser Championship in April next year the class should go from strength to strength.

The Micro Magic’s also are growing in their numbers, as a good introduction class for radio sailing, some of these sailors are now looking to move into IOM with the help of the club at Patterson River

All Victorian club’s welcome visitors to their sailing days (found on each club's website) and encourages people to have a sail. So please have a look through the Victorian website and if further information is required, please contact the various club’s or myself.

Thanks Andrew Reid
