With the ever-increasing explosion of foiling into the sailing community Australian Sailing is working to develop programs and resources to support sailors and clubs to get involved in this new and exciting space. One of the first initiatives is the development of FOIL-LABs which are day long introductory sessions allowing participants to experience and learn about foiling. FOIL-LABs provide a safe space for sailors to learn and interact with a new type of sailing experience and equip themselves with new knowledge to take on foiling classes. Sailors will learn the fundamentals that drive a hydrofoils performance, as well learn about the body and physical relationships that offer a path to mastery. Mastering the basics gives more options to have more fun, more often. It also allows sailors to chase performance in a range of modern performance sailing classes in a fun and fulfilling way. Australian Sailing is pleased to be able to offer a number of Foil Labs across the country. Contact your Australian Sailing State General Manager to express interest and find out more!

The test consists of lancing handmade wooden javelins from a predetermined line at a coconut situated between 7 & 9.5m above ground level atop a pole. The coconut is divided into 5 horizontal zones, with points on a scale of 2 to 10 being allocated in an ascending amount as one’s javelin strikes & holds higher up the coconut. Normally each competitor throws 8 javelins on 5 to 7 separate occasions. The pole is lowered after each round, and the coconut is removed and taken to the judges for verification of the points gained. Fresh coconut is then hoisted. The winner is the person or team which totals the greatest number of points:

Step aboard Oasis 40M M/Y Kahala, designed to create an intimate, seamless connection with the sea for a new vision of yacht lifestyle: dynamic, elegant, and effortless. The heart of this lifestyle is the Oasis Deck®, a groundbreaking innovation that transforms the traditional beach area into a 90 sqm open terrace, with opening wings and an infinity pool just steps from the water. More than a beach club, it defines an entirely new onboard experience: freedom, spontaneity, and easy-going luxury. Built in collaboration with RWD (exterior design) and Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture (interior design), M/Y Kahala is a refined expression of timeless beauty and stylistic harmony. Her interiors feature vintage design pieces from the 1950s–70s, bathed in natural light, with uninterrupted views from the main salon to the sea. Every detail reflects the owner’s sophisticated taste and deep connection to nature, from custom artworks to sculptural design elements. Powered by two MAN V12 engines, the yacht offers a top speed of 17 knots and a transatlantic range at 11 knots. With five guest cabins and expansive outdoor spaces, including a sundeck, upper deck sky lounge, and the pioneering Oasis Deck® — the Oasis 40M invites you to explore the world with unmatched comfort and freedom. ➤ Learn more: https://benettiyachts.com/yachts/oasis/oasis-40m/ www.benettiyachts.it ➤ Subscribe to Benetti Yachts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/BenettiYachtsChannel ➤ More Benetti Yachts playlists: https://www.youtube.com/@BenettiYachtsChannel/playlists ➤ Benetti Yachts on social media: - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/benettiyachts - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Benettiyachts/ - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/benetti
