Osaka in sight

As the first yachts approach the finish line in Osaka, the outcome of the 2025 Melbourne Osaka Cup remains wide open.

Planing for pleasure

Beneteau has welcomed the new First 30, designed to deliver the sensation of planing, easy handling, safety and cruising comfort.

Zero in last leg

As the Melbourne Osaka Cup enters its fifth week, the distance between the first and last starter has narrowed to just over 2,000 nautical miles, with all now outside Australian waters.

Passage Series finale

It was a fitting finale to the 2025 Sail Port Stephens Passage Series (Commodores Cup), with crews aboard the 105 yachts enjoying the kind of premium sailing conditions that attracts boats from as far as the Gold Coast and Melbourne to the event.
