"Sailing World on Water" Jan 15.22 Damaged MASERATI First Home in RORC Transat, CHARAL, AC37 Report

Highlights of what happened globally in the sport of sailing in the last 7 days.

As we have prepared this report Giovanni Soldini and his team have pushed their damaged boat across the finishing line first, in the RORC Trans Atlantic Race for 2022. It was very close from Power Play and Argo.

Now we have the latest report in from the RORC dated January 14th.

In the latest INEEOS “Moving Parts” video, James Allison their Chief Technical Officer is profiled.

Meanwhile the on-water action in Australia is at “Sail Melbourne”, where we have the Day One highlights.
Melbourne produced a 32-degree day, with 20 knots of shifty easterly breeze to keep the sailors happy.

Jérémie Beyou has had a very challenging year this year, and he is looking at building a new Imoca for the 2024 Vendee Globe. Let’s hope it’s as exciting as his current boat.

The Melges 15 Winter Series got off to a great start with 60 boats registered. The registration more than doubled since 2021 with new owners, early advocates, and teams of all ages. Congratulations to Eddie Cox and Molly Ziegler! The 15 is, Sailing World’s, “Boat of the Year.”

In what we hope will become a regular feature leading up to the 37th America’s Cup, we have the latest from “Mr America’s Cup”, Sailing Illustrated’s, Tom Ehman. Tom has the “inside ear” on what is happening and he will share it with us here on the “World on Water.”
