Sailing Photo of the Week - IDEC Trimaran
03 Jul The famous IDEC trimaran looks fast just standing still, but when it's gaining speed, as in this photo, there's no question that this is one powerful craft. IDEC, in the hands of the incomparable Francis Joyon, is the fastest boat to be singlehanded non-stop around the world. One look, and you can see why this water-rocket rules the world. |

Watching Fireworks from Boats
01 Jul With Canada Day today in the Great White (or Wet) North, Independence Day drawing near in the US, and waterfront festivals taking place across the Northern Hemisphere, boat parades, cruising raft-ups, sailing festivals and other semi-organized boating events will be drawing crowds over the next several weeks. Among these, one of the most spectacular on-the-water activities for recreational boaters has got to be gathering on the water for local fireworks displays. There's just nothing quite like seeing the show from on deck, and it's something to be experienced.

Volvo Ocean Race - a Look Back
01 Jul It's over! 37,000 miles in 10 legs over 9 months. The Volvo Ocean Race has run its course, and the crews are, in a word, exhausted. Ending up like one long war with 10 well-defined battles, the competition in this Volvo Ocean Race was extraordinary, with every leg a tactical sprint to the finish, and every finish showing how closely matched these teams have been. After all is said and done, it is the team on Ericsson 4, with Torben Grael as skipper, who took the top of the podium. |

Sailing in Sardinia - Farr 40 World Championship
28 Jun Sardinia - Farr 40 sailboats from around the world were to be found in Sardinia this weekend, sailing off the second largest island in the Mediterranean at the Farr 40 World Championship. Sardinia is known for its beautiful scenery and wonderful sailing conditions, and although the seas were lumpy for the Farr 40 crews, the conditions did not disappoint, and the sailors were able to test themselves and their one-design boats to the limit as they raced the island's waters. In the end it was Barking Mad, a sailboat from the USA, that took the overall win, while the Italians on Nerone had to settle for second place. 40 nearly identical Farr 40 sailboats raced over four days off Porto Cervo, in the Costa Smeralda area of Sardinia.
