Nine of the best performing maxi racing yachts in Australia competed in ideal sailing conditions with an 18kt NE breeze on Sydney Harbour this afternoon in the fifth and final race of the 2023 Raymarine Australian Maxi Championship.

The SOLAS Big Boat Challenge, hosted by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA), has become a popular spectator event over its 25 years and seldom fails to deliver close and exciting racing. As the last major event before the Rolex Sydney Hobart on Boxing Day, it’s a final test for crews, an opportunity to test set-ups and a chance to claim bragging rights over rivals.

The 2023 victors in both Maxi (80 to 100-foot) and Mini Maxi (60 to 79-foot) divisions have arguably been the form boats of the past few months.

Christian Beck’s Juan Kouyoumdjian Maxi 100 LawConnect has placed second to Andoo Comanche in many races in 2023 and has also been bridesmaid for Line Honours in the past three Rolex Sydney Hobarts, but under the guidance of Tony Mutter and Ty Oxley, the crew has gelled strongly and been sailing as a tight team. Today they completed the course without a blemish.

Anthony Johnston’s Reichel Pugh 72 URM Group, winner of the Mini Maxi Division, has won three of five 2023/24 Audi Centre Sydney Blue Water Pointscore races and is looking hard to beat in its division. The Raymarine Australian Maxi Championship wrapped up with both Law Connect and URM Group comfortably taking out their divisions after consistent performances across the five races – Cabbage Tree Island Race, three Passage Races over two days and the SOLAS Big Boat Challenge.

Andoo Comanche won the Maxi Line Honours prize. At the Prizegiving afterwards, LawConnect’s owner Christian Beck jokingly declared ” …if given the choice between first place in the SOLAS Big Boat Race or second in the Rolex Sydney Hobart, I’d always choose the Big Boat.”

Earlier in the day, a panel of competitors talked about their preparation for Boxing Day and what the Australian Maxi Championship means to them. Tony Mutter (LawConnect), Duncan Hine and Adrienne Cahalan (Alive), David Gotze (No Limit), David Griffith (Whisper) and Anthony Johnston (URM Group) entertained the audience with anecdotes and observations about the fleet.

When sharing his enjoyment for the Raymarine Australian Maxi Championship regatta, David Gotze of No Limit said “It’s a fantastic regatta. Racing the competitive boats that go down to Hobart, we use it as an opportunity to compete against international entrants who come down to Sydney for both the Maxi Champs and the Hobart race.”

SYDNEY (AP) — The Sydney to Hobart fleet was reduced to 98 boats after overall honors contender Maritimo 52 was one of two retirements on a stormy first night of racing.

Rival super maxis Andoo Comanche and LawConnect remained neck-and-neck in the early hours of Wednesday as the fleet began to pass Eden on the New South Wales south coast before heading into Bass Strait.

The two favorites for line honors were some 40 miles (65 kilometers) ahead of the nearest challengers.

Race officials confirmed Maritimo had retired overnight with rigging damage, while 50-footer Sticky pulled out with electrical issues. The retirements came after line honors contender SHK Scallywag was among the three boats of the 103 starters to pull out on the first evening after the start Tuesday in Sydney harbor.

“We’re shattered, actually,” said Maritimo crew member Peter Jones. “We were trying to work a million ways around it, but at best we were going to be at 50%.”

Jones reported a southwesterly front had come through with three hours of heavy rain and high winds.

“There was as much lightning as we’d ever seen,” Jones said.

LawConnect was the first out of the harbor. The finish line of the 628-nautical mile (720-mile, 1,170-kilometer) race is at Constitution Dock in the state capital of Hobart.

The line honors record of 1 day, 9 hours, 15 minutes, 24 seconds was set by Comanche in 2017, after Comanche also won last year’s race . In 2022, Comanche finished at Constitution Dock in 1 day, 11 hours, 56 minutes and 48 seconds — the second-fastest time behind its 2017 race record.

Condor Maxi Yacht, Australia

Condor

Excellent crew and service “Seeing Whitsunday Island and sailing in the ruff seas.” David F, United States
  • Fast ocean racer yacht
  • More time to explore islands
  • Whitehaven Beach and snorkeling

The Condor Whitsundays is a fantastic way to explore the powder-white sands of Whitehaven Beach and the fringing coral reefs of the Whitsunday Islands. This large maxi racing yacht has a mixture of double and single beds throughout the boat. These are all shared, dorm-style open-plan rooms. From April to September, the maximum capacity is normally 19 guests, allowing guests to have their beds (single or double). During peak season (October-March), capacity can reach up to 30 by sharing double beds. The ocean racer yacht sails to the Whitsundays in no time, meaning more time exploring the stunning islands, viewpoints, and snorkel stops. Comfortable shared dorm-style accommodation below deck is included for your 3 nights on board. All meals include tasty treats such as roast chicken, burritos, fish curry, BBQ burgers, and even a pancake breakfast on the menu. Condor has a BYOB policy, so guests should bring their own alcohol if desired (no glass).

Condor Whitsundays tours are 4 days and 3 nights, covering around 100km of the stunning islands. With the ability to sail faster than other yachts, this means more time at the famous Whitehaven Beach, bushwalking to Hill Inlet Lookout, and 2 or more snorkel stops to see tropical fish, turtles, and colorful coral reefs. Please note that Condor will run 4-day & 3-night tours only until April 2023. From June 2023, Condor will start running 3-day & 2-night tours. These 3-day & 2-night tours will stay around the beautiful Whitsunday Island and not be visiting the outer reef.

The Condor Whitsundays is a fantastic choice for an exhilarating sailing experience on an ocean maxi yacht with an experienced and friendly crew. Book online today to reserve your space.
