As the sun set in Barcelona on a memorable Louis V

As the sun set in Barcelona on a memorable Louis Vuitton Preliminary Regatta, it was Emirates Team New Zealand spraying the Moët & Chandon champagne as winners, after an enthralling and epic, super-tight final battle with Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli.
Thrilling, engrossing, it was simply sporting brilliance and a huge advert for the Louis Vuitton Cup that starts 29 August.

Andoo Team Australia hit the waters off Barcelona

Andoo Team Australia hit the waters off Barcelona with the opportunity at last to apply all the knowledge gained from hundreds of hours in the Sydney based simulator and translate to the reality of the Barcelona racecourse.
With the countdown now just one month away for the Unicredit Youth regatta to start on 17 September, followed by the Puig Women’s regatta on 5 October, the chance to access the racing yacht was vital.

Matt Wearn has stamped himself as one of the best

Matt Wearn has stamped himself as one of the best sailors of his generation, winning his second consecutive Olympic gold medal in the Men’s Dinghy event after a dramatic Medal Race in Marseille.
This title is extra sweet for Wearn, having overcome long-COVID in 2022 which had him wondering whether he would ever be able to sail again.
