SOLO TRANS-TASMAN YACHT CHALLENGE | One of the world’s most demanding offshore races returns next week, as 17 solo sailors prepare to take on the wild Tasman Sea alone. No crew. No rest. Just skill, resilience, and relentless determination.
At midday on 30 May 2026, the fleet will depart from the Opua Cruising Club in the stunning Bay of Islands, setting course for the 1,170 nautical mile crossing to Southport Yacht Club on Australia’s Gold Coast.
