Highlights of what happened globally in the sport of sailing in the last 7 days.
This is the weekly Sailing Highlights show, “World on Water”, August 05, 2022.

These are the highlights of the most important sailing events, released last week. Emirates Team New Zealand are busy with their “Land Yacht” project. This video is about the “Pod”. It can be loaded with weight, as needed, and gives Horonuku the “righting moment” it needs to generate thrust, and it’s Glenn’s job to fly it “just so” for optimum speed.

Last week saw the start of the long running “Cowes Week” regatta. We start with Day 1 and the “Cape 31” Class.

Puerto Portals 52 SUPER SERIES Sailing Week, the third regatta of the five-event monohull circuit, ended with South African Phoenix winning by eleven points ahead of Sled, and seventeen ahead of Provezza.
