The wait is over — the official competitor profiles for the Solo Trans-Tasman Challenge 2026 are now live
As the countdown to 30 May 2026 intensifies, skippers are deep in preparation mode — checking gear, refining strategies, and mentally gearing up for what lies ahead. Ahead of them is the vast Tasman Sea: unpredictable, unforgiving, and utterly exhilarating. For these sailors, it’s not just a race… it’s a journey into the unknown.
Every entrant will soon stand alone on the start line at 12:00pm, facing whatever the Tasman chooses to throw at them — towering swells, shifting winds, moments of isolation, and the pure thrill of pushing themselves beyond the limits.
You can now explore their stories, their boats, their motivations, and their mission.
