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.

| 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.
