2025 EurILCA Team Racing

Sailors arrived dockside to a stubborn standstill. Heavy rain swept across the venue and the race area lay glassy and lifeless, forcing a prolonged postponement ashore. For team racing sailors, used to split-second decisions and aggressive manoeuvres, the wait was as much a mental test as the racing itself. Eventually, persistence paid off.

Showdown of a Lifetime: World's Most Southern Superyacht Regatta Is All Set To Begin

This Saturday heralds the start of an extraordinary seafaring spectacle, the world’s most southerly superyacht regatta, the 2025 New Zealand Millennium Cup. Situated amid Auckland’s volcanically crafted islands and channels, and the Hauraki Gulf, this year’s race is teeming with potential. With a tantalizing blend of returning champions and fresh contenders itching to make their regatta debut, the stage is set for an exceptional confrontation.

The 2025 NZ Millennium Cup, the second consecutive edition to take place in Auckland after its Bay of Islands tenure, eagerly rolls out the red carpet for the formidable Kawil. Having championed the Bay of Islands contest in 2020, Kawil’s return is eagerly anticipated.
