Welcome to the page of Makani sailing, our Beneteau First 45 which we’re racing out of Southport Yacht Club out of the Gold Coast.

2023 is all about club racing, local regattas and Airlie Beach Race week and Hamilton Island race week. Plenty of social sailing and some cruising as well.

Stay tuned for 2024 when we tackle some of the major Australian east coast offshore races culminating in the 2024 Sydney to Hobart yacht race.
