National Championship Winners

National Championships were first organised by the Canberra Yacht Club and held from 1964-65 up to 1982-83.  From 1968-69 to 1976-77, the venue alternated between Lake Burley Griffin (Canberra Yacht Club) and Port Phillip Bay, near Melbourne, Victoria.  Most of the latter events were hosted by Mount Martha Yacht Club, however in 1976-77 the host was McCrae Yacht Club.
