Elegant, graceful, powerful; Sassafras is a jewel of our fleet and is joining us once again to race in the New Zealand Millennium Cup. An enduring favourite for regatta spectators and fellow competitors alike, Sassafras is the 34 metre Royal Huisman known for exuding traditional sophistication and textbook racing flair. With her classic style combined with a quick turn of speed, we can’t wait to see her on the course.

Look who’s crossing the Tasman! Another Dubois design, and a brand new entry to the Cup, 30 metre Maritimo 100 combines the pedigree of an Oyster 100 with Dubois naval architecture, in a build by RMK Marine. Her sports rig, carbon spars and Spectra carbon sails promise an efficient turn of speed on the water, and an extensive pre-racing works programme has seen her emerge in tip top racing condition. Heading to the NZ Millennium Cup hot on the heels of a Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race campaign, Maritimo 100 is set for a summer of speed.

It’s a nicer day here so far, plenty of room in Silo Marina. It won’t be long and more yachts will start arriving, the season is nearly here!

It’s shaping up to be a great regatta!

Welcome to the racing, S/Y Legend! This 34-metre Alloy Yacht-built beauty will join fellow New Zealand-launched yachts when she heads for the start line in February. 

Legend by name, and by track record, Legend has proven race winning performance which makes her one to watch in 2025. She combines that stellar turn of speed with beauty, comfort and structural integrity to a level that set new industry standards for subsequent generations of high-performance sailing yachts on her launch in 1998.

Bringing a whole lot of spirit all the way from the Cowboy State, we’re thrilled to welcome back Janice of Wyoming. 

This 40 metre Ed Dubois-designed, and Alloy Yachts-built, beauty has become a favourite both on and off the NZ Millennium Cup course for her competitiveness and camaraderie. There’s no missing Janice of Wyoming and her crew when they hit the race course and we can’t wait to see them line up against 2025’s entries when racing starts in February.

Another new entry for the 2025 New Zealand Millennium Cup!

Stunning, sleek, and on her way to the start; we can't wait to welcome Sharlou!

It might be her first time racing the NZ Millennium Cup, but this 42.6 metre Vitters-built beauty has pedigree when it comes to the race course. Ultra-modern and ultra-quick, Sharlou is as capable of sailing the world as she is taking honours in regattas, and on her launch was the largest carbon fibre sloop built in the Netherlands.

She'll be lining up to race against fellow Dutch-built yachts; Royal Huisman's Sea Eagle and Sassafras, as well as Janice of Wyoming, Legend, and Kawil.
