With 6 months to go before the start of its 10th edition, the Vondée Globe is making an American aside!
The last qualifying and selection race for the solo round the world race, the New York Vendée Los Sabb d'lonne, will set sail on 29 May, at 20 hundred French time. The Vondée Globe is a single-handed, non-stop, non-assisted round-the-world sailing race, that takes place every four years. It is contested on Imoca foiling and non-foiling monohulls, which are 18 metres or 60 feet long.

This is your weekly Global Sailing Highlights show, the World on Water, May 24, 2024.

We have waited a while to see it, but Barcelona delivered a solid 17 to 20 knots of south-south-westerly breeze, and gave New York Yacht Club, American Magic, the only team out on the water on Monday, the chance to open the throttles and show the outrageous performance of a new-gen A C 75, in all its glory. It was almost impossible for the recon teams to keep up, such were the speeds being generated, but what a fabulous spectacle, and one that every fan will want to see come the racing for the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup.

In this video Pip Hare of Medallia, shares an insight into life onboard an Imoca at night, and the equipment used to help her navigate during the race.

Nearly 400 miles away from the first Finish Line, and Ha Long Bay Viet Nam, has now entered the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone. With the lead yachts being around 50 nautical miles from this Finish Gate, the tension, along with the ever-rising temperature, will be hotting up as teams battle it out for the podium.
Race 11, offers a unique challenge on the circuit, as there are six Mandatory Finish Gates in place along the race route in the run up to the Finish Line. These are in place due to the fickle and ever-lightening breeze as the fleet sails south into the doldrums. Any of the Mandatory Finish Gates could have been selected as a finish line by the Race Committee. This is so the fleet doesn’t end up getting stuck in zero wind and can make its transit through the Panama Canal.

Max Maeder (Singapore) and Lauriane Nolot (France) successfully defended their titles at the 2024 Formula Kite World Championships on May 14 to 19 in Hyères, France. The top North Americans came from the USA with Daniela Moroz in 7th and Markus Edegran in 11th. Also, Emily Bugeja qualified to be nominated on Canada’s Paris 2024 Olympic Games sailing team, after her 40th place finish.

The first slalom champions of the year have been crowned at the PWA Youth and Junior World Cup in Aruba, the opening event of the Youth Slalom World Tour, which will also see contests in Bonaire and Turkey, with other possible events still to be announced.
With all fleets racing together this week, athletes of all ages battled it out in both fin and foil divisions.
Bobbi-Lynn De Jong (Starboard / NeilPryde) was the standout in the girls division taking the victory in both the fin and foil rankings overall and will lead the U 17 rankings heading into her home spot next week in Bonaire. Whilst Brendan Lorho (FMX Racing / Point-7) & Benedikt Emser (PATRIK / PATRIK Sails / PATRIK Foils) took home the win in the fin and foil boy's fleets respectively.

The WingFoil Racing World Cup Turkiye began on May 22, although a lack of wind prevented the first race from going ahead. Instead the riders put their competitive instincts into an evening competition on Audi e-foilers, electric-powered foiling boards that fly above the surface at up to 30 knots.
