The 3rd edition of the Royal Ocean Racing Club Nelson’s Cup Series, was a spectacular regatta with a total of 35 boats taking part, including for the first time, a maxi class with eight powerful boats revelling in the big conditions. The Nelson’s Cup Series is the perfect prequel to the Caribbean 600, which started on Monday 24th February.
This is your weekly Global Sailing Highlights show, the world on Water, February 28th, 2025.
The highly anticipated 16th edition of the Royal Ocean Racing Club's Caribbean 600, blasted off from Fort Charlotte, Antigua, right on schedule. All five starts went off flawlessly as the diverse fleet of 66 international entries launched into the ultimate offshore tropical challenge, an exhilarating race weaving through 11 stunning Caribbean islands.
With the trade winds pumping over 16 knots from just south of east and gusting up to 20 knots, the stage was set for a spectacular showdown in paradise.
The headline is, Jenna Gibson, Breaks Windsurfing Speed Record. We have an exclusive Interview with her at the R-Y-A Dinghy & Watersports Show!
Quiet and shy on first appearances, yet the minute she steps on a slalom board, Jenna Gibson becomes a force to be reckoned with. Undefeated in the I-F-C-A World Championships since 2018, Jenna is undoubtedly the queen of the fin!
Arnaud Boissières’, the skipper of La Mie Câline, informed his technical team that he had dismasted late in the Vondee Globe. He was 27th in the race, and he was more than 2,500 miles from the finish, at the longitude of Cape Verde in a group of five skippers. Arnaud explained that he had secured his boat, and that he was headed to Cape Verde.
The Lay Sabb d-lonn based Boissières, is the only skipper to have finished four Vondée Globe races in succession, having taken part in every edition since 2008.
Grae Morris, born 16 October 2003, is an Australian sailor. He competed in the I-Q-Foil event at the 2024 Summer Olympics, where he won the silver medal.
Morris grew up in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. His father, Brett Morris, was a former national windsurfing champion. By the age of 11, he was competing at Formula and Slalom events across Australia, transitioning to the foil discipline at age 14.
The Megga's BBQ race, is always a fan favourite at Lincoln Week.
This year we caught up with birthday boy Caillin Howard from Fresh, as well as 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist Lily Xu, who is in Port Lincoln sailing on Reverie.
Alan Woodward's, Reverie, looks to be in a good position on overall IRC, but with Port Lincoln-based Sydney 47, Fresh, being chartered by the Secret Men's Business crew, it made for a super close battle.
Solo around the world racing today changed forever as thirteen men and two women from eight countries today set sail from the small Caribbean Island of Antigua Barbuda, to race solo around the world in Mini, 19ft, 5.8 meter, ALMA Globe. 5 80 yachts, their only home for the next 13 months. WHY? To prove something to themselves no doubt, but they may not know that yet. This gruelling marathon has only just begun. It will not be easy. Leg one is to Panama 1200 miles to the west. Then it is another 24000 miles back to Antigua.
