This is your weekly Global Sailing Highlights show, the World on Water, for October 17th, 2025.
It was an unfortunate opening to the Australian 18 Footers League's 2025-26 summer season when strong westerly winds, gusting to more than 30 knots, forced the club to abandon Race 1 of the Sixth Spring 18ft skiff Championship on Sydney Harbour.
Eleven of the fourteen teams entered for the race attempted to reach the start in the dreadful conditions that prevailed and only three were able to cross the start line after a 30 minutes delay.
After being becalmed on Monday, Jasmine Harrison’s week in the Mini Globe Race turned into pure endurance at sea. A long, sleepless night brought relentless squalls, freezing cold, and then, disaster, her Hydrovane self-steering broke. To make it worse, Starlink went down for 48 hours, cutting her off from weather updates and the outside world. Then with advice from Hydrovane support, and spare parts on board, she’s now back on track, the wind’s picked up, and Starlink’s back online.
In Stage 2: Y C P E Cup the Home boat heroes arrive,
They’re home is the cry! It’s been a tough fight for the crew, but the achievement of crossing the Atlantic Ocean is what matters most. Talk about a close finish! What an end to a race after 27 days at sea. Hear from Team Qingdao, Team Washington D C, and Team Scotland, as they touch down in Punta del Este!
After two days of strong Bise winds and fiercely contested racing for the high-performance foiling TF35 fleet, and the final in Geneva offered a complete contrast, four technical races sailed in a gentle 5 to 8 knot breezes.
Returning to the circuit after a break earlier in the season, Jérôme Clerc, at the helm of Realteam Spirit with crew members Sébastien Col, Gurvan Bontemps, Léo Tetaz, Eliot Merceron, and Benjamin Amiot, showed remarkable consistency across the 14 races to claim the Grand Prix victory with a narrow two-point margin.
The 2025 49er, 49erFX, and Nacra 17 World Championships wrapped up in spectacular style with a double-race medal series that crowned three deserving world champions. Under brilliant Sardinian skies and a lively mistral breeze, Spain swept the skiff fleets while Britain claimed the foiling crown.It all came down to last day, and what a finale it was!
In the Nacra 17 class, John Gimson & Anna Burnet edged out home hopes Ugolini & Giubilei in a tactical duel to claim the world title.
The bi weekly, live, Sailing blog, Sailing Illustrated, helmed by "The Chairman," Tom Ehman interviewed Sail World New Zealand expert Richard Gladwell, on the latest developments in the 38th Americas Cup. If the cup interests you, then you will want to watch this.
