We Start with the scariest footage we have seen in our 13 years at the World on Water. Featured on Sailing Illustrated last week, it clearly shows how close it was to being a life ending moment for the skipper of a yacht on the starting line, as the starting alert device was pointed along the line at the boats, not in the air away from the action.
We can report that the skipper is OK.
The Chicago to Mackinac freshwater race was on last week and over 240 boats started. The First to finish just before midnight Chicago time, on Sunday July 18, was Eagle One, with Timothy LaRiviere of Grosse Pointe Michigan, at the helm.
In the Transpac the finish was a close one with Roy Disney’s Volvo 70 Pie-wacket, cresting the line first after roaring past the whole fleet. They set a new daily distance record of 506.4 miles, at an average of 21.1 knots of speed in the process.
The Class 40 division in the coming Rolex Fastnet Race has seen a big increase in starters. The race starts on Sunday the 8th of August and this year it finishes in Cherbourg France.
It’s Olympics time again and UK Sailing’s Ian Walker is in Tokyo and after his report we have World Sailing’s class standings in the sailing action on Days One to Four.
Last week we saw British Round The World Solo Sailor Pip Hare install the foils on her new Medallia sponsored, IMOCA 60 yacht, and this week she launches it, and steps its mast.
To finish this week’s show we have Day 5 of the Aegean RODOS Cup, where on the last racing day, the weather was a tailwind and not very strong.
Overall In the IMS category the first place went to Favorit Plus, Second was MARIA ELECTRA,
and third BLUE SHARK.
