Got the Rudder Cup or Westcoaster on your sights this season? The West Offshore Products Coastal Sprint is the perfect proving ground—a shorter 15-35nm sprint that lets you shake down crew, systems, and boat handling before stepping up to the bigger ocean races. Race 1 is coming up on Saturday 19 September.

Melbourne to Vanuatu Race Returns in 2028!

Last raced in 2014, the Melbourne to Vanuatu is remembered by past competitors as much more than an ocean race. It is a demanding test of seamanship on a 1,885-nautical-mile passage from Portsea across Bass Strait and culminating in an arrival at one of the world’s most beautiful sailing destinations, the tropical islands of Vanuatu.

Expressions of interest are open now for yacht owners and sailors keen to be part of it.

ENTRIES NOW OPEN for the West Offshore Products Coastal Sprints, with Race 1 on Saturday 19 September 2026.

A short-distance Category 4 ocean sprint of roughly 15-35nm, designed as a crew development pathway toward longer ocean races or a great stand-alone coastal race on its own, and for those who cannot compete in Category 2 or 3 events. Home Saturday evening, and open to fully crewed, double-handed, or 4+ autohelm entries. This is also a great lead-in to Melbourne to Devonport and Westcoaster.
