2027 Pacer National Championships

Join us at Mount Martha, 7–10 January 2027.

Mount Martha Yacht Club looks forward to welcoming sailors and their families to the 2027 Pacer National Championships, hosted in conjunction with Pacer Australia.

Notice of Race

Racing will take place on Port Phillip off Mount Martha, with eight championship races planned across four days. Pacer and Pacer Pursuit competitors are welcome, including junior teams. Sailors arriving early can also join the club’s twilight invitation race on Wednesday 6 January.

There will be plenty of opportunity to catch up ashore, with competitors’ barbecues on Thursday and Saturday included in the entry fee for two competitors per boat. Additional guest tickets will be available at registration, subject to catering availability. The Pacer Australia AGM will take place before Saturday’s barbecue.

Entries and event information.

Early bird entry is $210 per boat, or $170 for Junior/Junior teams where both skipper and crew are under 18. Early bird entries close at 23:59 on 23 December 2026. Standard entry is $230 per boat, or $190 for Junior/Junior teams. Annual Pacer Australia membership fees are additional.

Visit the Pacer Australia event page for entry information and registration. Please refer to the Notice of Race for the full event details and entry requirements.

Plan your stay.

We encourage visiting sailors and families to book accommodation early, as the championships fall during the busy January holiday period on the Mornington Peninsula.

Holiday homes and Airbnb properties in Mount Martha and surrounding areas may suit families or teams sharing accommodation. Mornington and Safety Beach also offer options within driving distance. Accommodation should be arranged directly with providers; no event accommodation has been reserved.

The Mount Martha village shops are just across the road from the club, with cafés, bakeries, restaurants and a supermarket close at hand.

We look forward to welcoming everyone to Mount Martha for four days of sailing and catching up with the Pacer community.
