The Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA) has welcomed Sydney Brewery as an Official Supplier to the 2026/27 Monday Twilight Series and Club Marine Wednesday Twilight Series, and as an Official Supplier to the 2026 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.

The partnership runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027 and covers the Club's busiest period on the water.

Under the agreement, Sydney Brewery's award-winning beers and ciders will be awarded as prizes during the Twilight races. Sydney Brewery will also provide accommodation for race officials and a media boat for the SOLAS Big Boat Challenge and Rolex Sydney Hobart.

A long-term partner of the club, CYCA Commodore David Jacobs welcomed the new deal.

"Twilight sailing is at the heart of the CYCA community, and there's nothing better after a race on the Harbour than sharing a cold drink with your crew," Jacobs said.

"Sydney Brewery is a proudly local brand, and we're delighted to have them supporting both our Twilight Series and the Rolex Sydney Hobart this summer. Their support for our race officials and media team also makes a real difference to how we run and share our events."

Sydney Brewery's Marketing and Sponsorship Manager Richard Feyn added:

"We are delighted to continue our relationship with CYCA as beer and accommodation sponsors across Twilight Series and Rolex Sydney Hobart related events. Sydney Brewery embraces the city's lifestyle and partnering with CYCA keeps us anchored to Sydney Harbour and the Sailing community."

The 81st Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race starts on Sydney Harbour on Boxing Day, 26 December 2026.
