Twelve yachts have written their names into history, surging across the start line at Portsea (Melbourne) in the highly anticipated main fleet departure of the 9th Melbourne Osaka Cup. With two fleets already on their way and one more start still to come. The race is now in full swing, building momentum toward 5,500 nautical-mile battle to Osaka! The Melbourne Osaka Cup is the world’s longest south-to-north double-handed yacht race, testing endurance, skill, and resilience.
This year’s fleet features a strong Corinthian spirit, with several family teams taking on the challenge together—including the race’s first-ever mother–daughter, [Fika], and father–daughter, [Magellan], duos and three Japanese teams.
In celebration of International Women's Day, female sailors took center stage at the Volvo Ladies Helm 2025 event, hosted by the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club. With 47 boats across seven classes competing, the regatta showcased the strength, skill, and determination of women in sailing.
Day 2 of the 2025 Hansa and Para World Championships on Pittwater and competitors and officials alike were hoping for a more stable breeze than what was dished up to them yesterday and while the wind wasn't as fresh as Day 1, the shifty conditions prevailed but did not get the better of the international competitors who are making their presence felt.
The second 2025 ILCA UK National Open (formerly known as the Qualifiers) commenced last weekend at WPNSA with the Rooster/Noble Marine Open 2, attracting another impressive entry of nearly 160 boats.
The ILCA 7 fleet of 29 boats, were met with considerably warmer temperatures compared to the previous weekend. Weymouth Bay delivered a steady easterly breeze ranging between 5 and 15 knots along with some sea state. This meant boatspeed was key as well as making the most of any shifts coming down the course.
