This week’s marine pest spotlight lands on the sea sq**rt Eudistoma sp, the Australian droplet tunicate. It looks like marine snot, spreads fast and forms thick colonies on hard surfaces.

It’s turning up across Northland and Auckland, and boaties can help slow the spread by keeping hulls and equipment clean.

A Class40 finish decided by seven minutes after nearly 5,000 miles.
Two completely different routes across the Atlantic. One of the tightest offshore wins we’ve seen in years.

Guillaume Pirouelle and CĂ©dric Chateau pulled off a bold southern gamble to take the TRANSAT CAFÉ L’OR victory in a nail biter that went to the final minutes.
