🌊 Sled dominate in Porto Cervo!
Day 2 of the 52 Super Series finale delivered 28-knot Mistral winds — and Sled rose to the challenge. The US-flagged team, packed with Kiwi talent including Murray Jones, Don Cowie, Jeremy Lomas and more, powered to victory at over 21 knots downwind.

They now lead Porto Cervo racing by five points as Alegre and Paprec chase hard, while Phoenix slipped in the heavy breeze. With plenty of racing still to come, expect more drama off Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda.

Owning a Lidgard is owning a legacy.
To step aboard a John Lidgard yacht is to inherit more than timber and sails. It’s to inherit a story of Kiwi craftsmanship, ocean miles, and timeless design. Two classics — Taonui (1965) and Imp-Zap (1978) — still carry that spirit today.
