Yacht withdrew from race after water ingress

Mon Jun 01 11:48:50 CEST 2026 Timsen

Graeme Francis, the New Plymouth sailor who has spent 40 years returning to the Solo Trans-Tasman Yacht Challenge, was at the centre of a rescue operation in the Tasman after activating the EPIRB of the 'Robbery' on May 31, 2026. Maritime New Zealand’s Rescue Coordination Centre (RCCNZ) has assumed responsibility for the response and was coordinating available assets. Francis remained aboard his Wilson 36 yacht and was actively pumping water from the vessel. Race officials continued to support RCCNZ and maintained contact with all relevant parties as the situation developped. Francis had already withdrawn from the race before the EPIRB activation, with the tracker showing the 'Robbery' heading back toward Opua at 4.3 knots VMG earlier on May 31. The fleet had encountered severe conditions overnight, with gusts reported above 55 knots by multiple competitors after rounding North Cape. The 69-year-old New Plymouth Yacht Club member came into this race with more than 19,000 offshore miles behind him, along with another 2,000 coastal miles. He first entered the Trans-Tasman in 1986 on a Chico 30 he built himself, returned in 2018, and lined up again this year for a third crossing aboard the 'Robbery', the early 1980s Wilson 36 he has owned and maintained for years.
