RORC Nelson’s Cup – Leopard 3 leads by a mere point after Day 1

The fourth Leg of Tenzor International Cup — J/70 Open Winter Series 2025/2026 is gearing up for another meeting with participants. The regatta will take place from February 19 to 22 on the waters of Aspat Bay in Bodrum.

Our team are preparing to get another season under way and will be in attendance over the weekend to speak with both trade and retail customers.

Well, Day 3 of GBRW26 had a very interesting start! Rumour has it that the Race Director’s dog (a cheeky blue staffy named ‘Jed’) stole the ‘wind remote’ overnight and buried it in the garden! With the obvious outcome – a classic Geographe Bay glass out!

The still usable pieces of the DS Automobiles and Black Foils F50s have been reassembled at the Southern Spars facility in Avondale, West Auckland.

The first day of racing in Västerås opened with light but steady winds — just enough for the fleets to stretch their legs and ease into championship mode. Conditions allowed the kite fleet to complete a full programme of six course races.

It toppled all previous records by selling out in just shy of 10 minutes last year – and unsurprisingly, Townsville Yacht Club (TYC) has been inundated with calls from those wanting to secure early entry into 2026 SeaLink Magnetic Island Race Week (SMIRW)

Day 1 of the RORC Nelson’s Cup delivered two contrasting windward leeward contests off Fort Charlotte, Race 1 began under a heavy rain squall that destabilised the easterly breeze and reduced pressure, while Race 2 was sailed in classic Antiguan sunshine.

Antigua is renowned for its brisk trade winds and lively Atlantic swell, those taking part in today’s first IMA Maxi races in the RORC Nelson’s Cup instead found themselves soaked and bewildered as a squall passed through reducing visibility to zero.
