The 2026 U21 World Championships delivered exactly what sailors expect from Lanzarote in January: breeze, waves, and no shortage of physical racing. Known for its strong, reliable winds, the island lived up to its reputation from day one.

The fleet of 33 boats has completed its first full day at sea in the Aramex Dubai to Muscat Offshore Sailing Race (D2M) – but with boat speeds dropping, patience is now as valuable as pace on the 360-nautical mile route.

For every racer who competes in the stellar regattas off St. Maarten, there is one contest that almost always outshines the others: the 38-nautical-mile Round-the-Island Race.

Six out to compete in round 7 with SSE 6 to 10 knots. This wind provided a great course in front of the car park and café. The rain didn’t deter but with the changing clouds overhead the wind direction had us all guessing which side paid up the beats.

An early start to day 4 of Dell Quay Sailing Clubs’ Frostbite series greeted racers with a beautiful pink sunrise followed by sunshine and a very light and fickle Southerly breeze.

Race five in the Flying Dutchman 2026 Australian Championship regatta was going to make all the difference to the outcome for series leader.

The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) is marking the one-year anniversary of Reflections on Water, a national campaign created to celebrate the people, progress and opportunities shaping the UK’s blue spaces.

The 44Cup begins its new season next week in a venue that for years has formed a cornerstone of the circuit: Puerto Calero in Lanzarote, Canary Islands, owned and operated by the RC44 class’ long term partner Calero Marinas.

The launch of the invitation process signals the start of the organising committee’s preparations for a new edition of this flagship event on the international superyacht racing calendar.

With boats from all over Australia — and a few that had clearly travelled a very long way — this was always shaping up to be a cracking regatta.
