After an incredible three weeks of Finn sailing at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, many bodies may be broken and a few egos destroyed and boats are showing signs of wear, but the collective pride of a monumental achievement will survive for a long time. And for many in Brisbane it was all about survival, whether racing or not.

Prizewinners at the Porsche Centre 2026 Brisbane Finn World Masters

Brendan Casey, from Australia, has become the first Australian ever to win the Finn World Masters. Two more races were sailed Friday at the Porsche Centre Brisbane 2026 Finn World Masters at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, in Brisbane, Australia. In a very tight finish, Spain’s Rafa Trujillo nearly caught Casey, with New Zealand’s Karl Purdie in third.

All racing was cancelled on Day 4 of the Porsche Centre Brisbane 2026 Finn World Masters at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, in Brisbane, Australia. All the forecasts proved correct, with more than 20 knots by 11.00, so an early call was made to allow the sailors to make other plans for the day. It was the correct decision, with the wind later exceeding 30 knots.

After two more races on Wednesday, Brendan Casey, from Australia, still leads the Porsche Centre Brisbane 2026 Finn World Masters at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, in Brisbane, Australia. Rafa Trujillo from Spain is second with Karl Purdie from New Zealand in third. Race wins went to Casey and Purdie. There are 107 Finns from 16 countries taking part.

Marko Kolic, from Italy, won the only race possible on the second day of the Porsche Centre Brisbane 2026 Finn World Masters at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, in Brisbane, Australia. However, Australia’s Brendan Casey has extended his lead to three points at the top, from Rafa Trujillo in second and Britain’s Lawrence Crispin in third. There are 107 Finns from 16 countries taking part.

Brendan Casey is the early leader at the Porsche Centre Brisbane 2026 Finn World Masters at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, in Brisbane, Australia, after two race wins on the opening day, Monday. Spain’s 2016 Masters World Champion Rafael Trujillo is in second with Britain’s Lawrence Crispin in third. There are 107 Finns from 16 countries taking part.

The Porsche Centre Brisbane 2026 Finn World Masters was opened Sunday evening at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, in Brisbane, Australia. Just over 100 sailors from 18 nations are entered for the event. A series of eight races is scheduled from Monday 23 February to Friday 27 February.

Alessandro Marega has won the Porsche Centre Brisbane 2026 Finn Gold Cup after an incredible week of world class sailing at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, in Brisbane, Australia. In doing so he becomes the first Italian ever to win the Finn World Championship. Long time leader Anders Pedersen, from Norway, had to settle for the silver while an almost perfect performance over the last two days from Brendan Casey, moved him up the third and the first Australian. More than 70 Finn sailors from 14 nations have been competing for the 70th Finn Gold Cup.

Anders Pedersen’s lead at the Porsche Centre Brisbane 2026 Finn Gold Cup has been reduced to just one point with one day left to sail after two more races on Wednesday. A shift to lighter northerlies produced many changes through the fleet. However, the day belonged to Australia’s Brendan Casey with a 1, 2 (which was nearly two wins), while France’s Valerian Lebrun picked up a 3,1.

For the third day running, Norway’s Anders Pedersen leads the Porsche Centre Brisbane 2026 Finn Gold Cup. He now has five wins from six races and holds a six-point lead over the ever-consistent Alessandro Merega, with Australia’s Anthony Nossiter a further nine points back in third.

Norway’s Anders Pedersen extended his lead at the Porsche Centre Brisbane 2026 Finn Gold Cup with two more race wins in somewhat hairy conditions on the second day of the event. The event is being very ably hosted by the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, in Brisbane, Australia. The top three remain the same with Alessandro Marega from Italy in second with Australia’s Anthony Nossiter in third.
