SSANZ welcomes Doyle Sails as major partner of the 2026 Doyle Sails Round North Island 🏆
With Doyle Sails’ roots firmly planted in New Zealand and SSANZ leading the global charge in offshore shorthanded sailing for more than four decades, this partnership brings together two icons of the sailing world.
The Round North Island Race (RNI) is a true staple on the New Zealand sailing calendar, and the 2026 edition due to start in February 2026—its 15th—is expected to draw a strong fleet. The Notice of Race will be released later this week with entries due to open 8th May 2025.

Incredible. Such lovely people only meet then super quickly the night before
Way to go! Wish we could have more two handed racing out of Wellington
This time last week, our fleet was sailing into Marsden Cove, marking the end of Leg 2! ⛵️✨ It’s hump day—beat the midweek blues by reliving the Evolution Sails NZ Northern Triangle with us. I'm sure some of our competitors wish they were out there now not back in the office 🌊⚓
