80th Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race has a new headline act

The final two miles, however, offered the sort of maddening calm that only ocean racing can produce — glassy water, postcard sunrise, absolutely zero wind. Comanche ghosted across the line, sails hanging limp but boat speed still good enough to secure another clinical Line Honours win.

After a brief hiatus, one of the Southern Hemisphere’s most significant gatherings of superyacht professionals is returning — refreshed, refocused, and ready to redefine the future of luxury yachting in the Asia-Pacific. Superyacht Australia has officially announced the return of the Australian Superyacht Conference in 2026, with a bold new format and an all-new Sydney location. Traditionally hosted on the Gold Coast each May in the lead-up to the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, the event will now anchor itself in Sydney Harbour for the first time — taking place immediately after the inaugural Sydney Charter Show in February.
