Jules Verne Trophy – Sodebo 3 slow as they pass Cape Leeuwin

The 2026 ILCA (International Laser Class Association) Oceania Solidarity Squad has gathered from New Zealand and around Australia gathered in Hobart today for the first day of the 2026 Oceania and Australian Open and Youth Championships.

On this day, January 1st, the competitors of the 2nd edition of the GLOBE40, barely recovered from the New Year’s fireworks, set off at 3:00 PM local time (4:00 AM UTC) from Sydney Harbour for their 4th leg towards Chile and Valparaiso.

South Australian sailor Daniel Turner, skipper of Immortal Game (Hull No. 05), continues his extraordinary solo circumnavigation in the McIntyre Mini Globe Yacht Race, one of the world’s most demanding offshore sailing challenges.

Sadly, in the summer of 2025 Ashley passed away, so it was touching to see a strong turnout of 22 entries for the 2025 winter edition of the event.

There’s a new team in town, and they must surely rank among the favourites for this Sunday’s Grafham Grand Prix, event #5 of the Seldén Sailjuice Winter Series.

The IM24CA, in conjunction with the U.S. and Canadian Melges 24 Class Associations, has issued the official Notice of Series (NoS) for the 2026 North American Sailing Series, formally confirming the events included in the Series and outlining key updates.

The 2025 season will be remembered as one of the most intense and memorable seasons in Class40 history.

Poole Regatta takes place over the late May Bank Holiday from the 23rd to 25th May 2026, with an extra day of racing scheduled on the 22nd May for the European Championship. Be one of the first competitors to enter over the New Year break.

It seems that the fallout between Sir Ben Ainslie and Sir Jim Ratcliffe over their America’s Cup venture was just the ‘canary-warning’ of what was to come.
