SIXT Spring 18ft Skiff Championship Disrupted by Strong Winds
Strong westerly winds forced the abandonment of Race 1 in the SIXT Spring 18ft Skiff Championship on Sydney Harbour.
The Australian 18 Footers League’s 2025-26 summer season got off to an unfortunate start due to winds gusting over 30 knots.
- Eleven of fourteen teams attempted to reach the start.
- Only three teams crossed the start line after a 30-minute delay:
- Lazarus Capital Partners
- Rag & Famish Hotel
- Club Marine
Despite their efforts, it became clear that sailing the course was impossible, leading to the race's abandonment.
No official statement was made, but the decision to abandon was likely due to safety concerns.
