More of the spectacular fleet in the Whitsundays.
The first three days of racing could be summed up in a short phrase – Fast & Furious.

Behind the scenes at the Press Launch
The Red Bull Italy team is still relatively new on the SailGP scene, but skipper Phil Robertson drew some satisfaction from their overall fourth place at SailGP Sydney.
Red Bull Italy Strategist and Grinder Jan Germani explains how demanding a light air event can be for the Grinders.
SailGP Sydney 2026 | The heavens opened for the practice session making it hard to keep the lens dry.
After a good start, Bryon Ehrhart’s Juan K 27m (formerly Rambler 88) certainly gave the maxis great competition on their run down the harbour to the turning marks and also did well down the NSW coast, across Bass Strait and the east coast of Tasmania, coming in fourth in line honours.

RSHYR 2025 | Celestial V70 – After winning IRC Overall winner at last year’s race, skipper Sam Haynes conceded that this race would most likely be a small boat race. Any chance of an overall win was crueled by an entire night in a windless Derwent River.

Having won Line Honours for the last two years, Christian Beck and his crew continued their winning style being the first out of the Sydney Heads again. Unfortunately, they couldn’t hold the lead with Master Lock Comanche taking out the win with LawConnect crossing the finish line forty seven minutes later.

RSHYR 2025 | Back2Black – Sean Langman brought his GP42 Back2Black back to Sydney after their 2025 Admiral’s Cup /Fastnet campaign in the UK completing his 35th race to Hobart, Sean was happy with how the boat went and relieved that their work on waterproofing the boat prior to the race paid dividends.

| Palm Beach XI sailed up the Derwent River just on sunset to take 5th place in Line Honours. A remarkable achievement given the little sailing time the crew had prior to the race and in light of abandoned fishing lines getting wrapped around their keel and dagger boards.

RSHYR 2025 | Master Lock Comanche storms up the Derwent River to take line honours in 2 days, 5 hours, 3 minutes and 36 seconds. Fantastic to have a daylight finish and at speed!
