Motorboat III is all in. Will be fully crewed division though. This race, along with the coastal, rni and then the RNZYS 3 kings race makes up the best local offshore racing in a season that we've had in years. Hoping lots of people get amongst it.

Woo hoo! Congrats you legends 🥳 👏
Love your work! Tides didn’t look fun on the tracker!
Awesome result team!
Anna and Aaron Sailing representing NZL and SSANZ are off in the Doublehanded Offshore World Championship Finals! 🇳🇿⛵
26NM into the 110NM course, they’re currently sitting in 4th place with the fleet still tightly packed. With light and shifty conditions on the racecourse, it’s anyone’s game and they're right in the hunt.
Keep pushing, team — we’re all backing you from here! 💪

Go you good things!!!
And you two are pretty handy in the light conditions… have it!
Tough gig for Anna and Aaron Sailing 🇳🇿 in the final in light conditions. Fleet pretty well split in two and NZL battling in the second pack with leader FRA1 🇫🇷 having 38 miles to go. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 and keep fighting team !
Our very own Anna and Aaron Sailing have booked their ticket to the grand final! It’s looking like a light wind forecast and we expect it to be another nail biter
The final race gets underway tonight NZT
