Highlights of what happened globally in the sport of sailing in the last 7 days.
This is a Special edition celebrating the wonderful records in the RORC’s Transat Race.
Giovanni Soldini pulled off a great navigation coup, and cut out his rivals, Power Play and Argo, to burst Maserati across the finishing line ahead of them.
The other big news was Comanche with Aussie, Mitch Booth, heading an international crew, who took 2 Days off the Monohull record to now hold it for both the Atlantic speed record going West to East, and East to West.
We have a full report from the RORC.
Meanwhile Sail Melbourne continued in sunny, windy conditions on Port Phillip Bay. The 49ers were one class where a countback was required to anoint Tom Needham and Joel Turner winners, ahead of Jim Colley and Shaun Connor after they finished locked on 35 points. Western Australian Institute of Sport athlete Zoe Thomson put in a commanding performance in her ILCA 6 class win, closely followed by Tokyo Olympian Mara Stransky.
Meanwhile the first race for 2022 saw Race 6 of their New South Wales Championships held last weekend on Sydney Harbour.
The third race win of the New South Wales 18ft Skiff Championship went to the Tech2 team of Jack Macartney, Charlie Wyatt and Lewis Brake, putting it into the equal lead of the series with just two more races to be sailed.
Yandoo (John Winning, Mike Kennedy and Fang Warren) went into the race with a slender one point advantage over Tech2 but couldn’t quite match her rival’s overall speed in the 16-19 knot southerly winds and had to settle for second place.
