Sail Expo 2026 will return to the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club in Newport, Sydney, on 17–18 October with an expanded lineup of yachts, multihulls and shore-based exhibitors.
The two-day event will feature the Sydney premiere of the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 455, displayed by Performance Boating Sales alongside the Sun Odyssey 415 and 380. Lee Condell from Performance Boating Sales said the 455 "brings together performance, easy handling and a really impressive amount of space and light."
Multihull Central will show the Seawind 1160 XL, the latest evolution of the 1160 platform with increased headroom, living space and hull efficiency. Brent Vaughan from Multihull Central said the design "takes a proven Seawind concept and moves it forward."
On-water exhibitors include Lagoon Catamarans, Beneteau, Bavaria and Hanse, with cruising and performance yachts ranging from weekend cruisers to passage-makers. The shore-based precinct will feature marine equipment, electronics, deck hardware and sailing apparel from North Sails, Henri Lloyd, Lejen Marine and Yachting Holidays.
The show will also feature shared boating options as an alternative to full ownership, along with junior sailing pathways represented through small boat classes including Optimists.
Entry is free, with gates open 10am–4pm daily and free parking available.
