Anticipation builds for the Hansa World and International Championships: March 21-30 2025
Anticipation is building as sailors worldwide prepare for the 2025 Hansa World Championships, set to be hosted at the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club in Newport and raced on Pittwater.
Fresh off the recent Hansa Class Asia Pacific Championships at Southport Yacht Club, top competitors from across the globe are gearing up for fierce competition in March 2025.
At the Asia Pacific Championships in October, Japan’s Takumi Niwa delivered an impressive performance in the Hansa 303 One Person fleet, securing the win after consistently placing in the top three in all eight races. Niwa, along with Polish Para World Sailing Champion Piotr Cichocki and Australia’s Alison Weatherly, will reunite in Newport to vie for the Hansa 303 Para World and Open World titles. Spain’s Isaias Iglesias, who took second in the European Championships, will also add to the challenge.
The 303 Two Person category saw Australians Chris Symonds and Manuela Klinger dominate by winning every race. Next year’s competition will feature strong European contenders, including France’s Gauthier Bril and Camille Massonnaud, along with past medalists Piotr Cichocki and Olga Górnaś-Grudzień, in what promises to be a thrilling contest.
In the Liberty class, Hong Kong’s Foo Yuen Wai, with six wins out of nine starts, claimed victory in Southport and now sets his sights a World Championship. Britain’s Paul Phillips and former champion Vera Voorbach from the Netherlands will join him in Newport, alongside Japan’s Ryo Sasaki, who secured the Liberty Servo title at the Asia Pacifics.
Queensland’s local talent also shone on the Gold Coast Broadwater, with Neil Rowsthorn, Brent Geritz, and Ross Manning taking the top three spots in the SKUD 18 division.
They will face serious competition from New Zealand’s top crews, who are shipping boats to compete in the SKUD 18 Open and Para categories.
Notably, Paralympic gold medallists Dan Fitzgibbon and Liesl Tesch will make a highly anticipated return to the SKUD 18, aiming for a strong showing at the Worlds.
Important Details for Entrants:
Early Entry Deadline: Midnight, Saturday, 30 November. A late fee is applicable thereafter.
World Sailing ID: Required for para category participants to ensure para rankings.
Logistics: Visit the event website site for details on Accommodation options, How to Charter Boats, Charter RIBs, and volunteer opportunities.

New tooling for the hull sees an increase in hull strength while retaining the same shape and weight. Key rig fittings, the Gooseneck, Compression Strut, Masthead Fitting and Jib Boom front end fittings have been redesigned for maximum efficiency and easier assembly. The new version 6 now comes with 50 micron Mylar film sails with a clean new style. The improvements don't stop there, the digital rudder servo has been given a 10% boost in torque and improved electronics.

Surfing Mums & Dads
Want to join the best Mums (& Dads) group on earth? Surfing Mums Australia is a not for profit organisation with groups across Australia. We take turns surfing and looking after each other’s children.
The Avalon group meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9.30am and the Palm Beach group meets on Thursdays. The Mona Vale group meets Wednesday 9am, Narrabeen on Wednesday at 9:30 am, Dee Why / Long Reef on Friday 9am, Freshwater on Monday at 9am and Manly on Wednesday at 9am.
Our surf swap meet ups welcome parents of all levels, whether you’re a total novice or have been riding waves for a lifetime. Meet ups are run by member volunteer coordinators, and take place at a specific beach location at designated weekly times and days – although some groups switch locations depending on the best beach conditions on that given day. Coordinators post updates on each group’s private Facebook page prior to each meetup, so be sure to check for updates before you go. When you arrive, you’ll be paired up with a parent who will be your surf swap partner. Meet ups generally run for two hours, so there’s potential for each parent to have roughly an hour of ocean time, and an hour of child minding – although new parents may like to work up to this time goal slowly. Parents decide between themselves who’ll surf first, and who’s surfing second. The term surfing is open to interpretation here; you can surf, body board, SUP, go for a beach run or do some laps. However you’d like to spend your ocean time is up to you.
We welcome all levels of surfers, from shredders to absolute newbies, any anyone who cares for a little person is welcome to join.
