There's something rather special about sailing up South Africa's West Coast.

The changing winds. The unpredictable conditions. The spectacular coastline. And the occasional whale who decides to make an appearance. 🐋

In his account of the 2025 race aboard 𝑉𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑡𝑎, Nick Leggatt recalls fog, humpback whales, a night with almost no wind, and crews determined to squeeze every last bit of speed from their boats.

His opening words say it all:

"The Seaport Supply West Coast Offshore should be on any serious sailor's bucket list."

And we couldn't agree more.

On Friday, 20 November 2026, we do it all again!

Sailed in memory of Rob Meek, this much-loved offshore classic is a test of seamanship, teamwork and, occasionally, a very good sense of humour. 😂

We're proud to have 𝐒𝐞𝐚 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 as title sponsor, alongside B&G and authorised B&G dealer Marine Radio Acoustic Devices (MRAD).

And waiting at the other end? The legendary welcome at Saldanha Bay Yacht Club, , and stories that only get better with every retelling.

⚓ 8th ENTRY ANNOUNCEMENT

Saldanha Bay Yacht Club has officially entered the 2026 Lipton Challenge, returning after an impressive fourth-place finish in last year's contest.

The team will once again be led by Theo Yon, one of the most experienced sailors in this year's fleet as he prepares for his 17th Lipton Challenge. A former Lipton Challenge winner and multiple-time podium achiever, Theo brings a wealth of experience to the campaign. Joining him at the helm is Olympian Stefano Marcia, who represented South Africa at the 2016 Olympic Games in the ILCA (Laser) class. A runner-up at the 2023 J22 National Championships, this will be Stefano's fourth Lipton Challenge, having raced in both the L26 and Cape31 eras, including a winning campaign aboard Orion in 2021.

With two of the four crew returning from last year's campaign, Saldanha Bay has retained valuable experience while strengthening an already competitive team. After recording a race win, a second place and two third-place finishes on their way to fourth overall in 2025, Theo and Stefano will undoubtedly be aiming to add another Lipton Title to their résumé.
