New Zealand will send one of its strongest Finn fleets in recent years to Brisbane this February, with a 12-strong team contesting three major international regattas at Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron: the 2026 Australian Finn Championships, the Finn Gold Cup and the Finn World Masters.
Wild weather in the north of the country has brought an early end to the 2026 ILCA national championships at Bay of Islands Yacht Club, with torrential overnight rain across parts of Northland forcing the cancellation of the final day’s racing.
New Zealand's top ILCA sailors are in hot pursuit of the internationals after two days of racing at the ILCA national championships in the Bay of Islands, with the visitors leading in two of the fleets.
