A nice crossover with the two circuits.

Hoping this gets more women into foiling!

"SailGP is coming home—to Sassnitz! 🚨🇩🇪 We are thrilled! In August 2025, the SailGP fleet will arrive in Germany—more specifically, in SASSNITZ, on RÜGEN Island. For us, it’s the perfect location, with epic chalk cliffs and iconic Baltic resort architecture as the backdrop. Get ready for high-speed racing at the first EVER Germany Sail Grand Prix! When? August 16th and 17th, 2025." - september 26, 2024 📷 @.sailgpger / instagram

News Round-Up, 21 November 2024

(“Anywhere but here, please” Edition)

Vendée Globe: Light winds in the doldrums are slowing the fleet north of the Equator. For the moment, Thomas Ruyant is in the lead.

SailGP: With Jimmy Spithill as manager and Olympians Ruggero Tita and Guilia Faca as skipper and strategist, Team Italy make their debut.

SailGP: Rolex are the new title sponsors for the championship, which would be bigger news if their logo wasn’t all over SailGP already. 

America’s Cup: The venue for the 38th America’s Cup will be announced no later than June 2025. Or you could just agree to go to Auckland now and relieve a lot of stress.

Called both!

Knew Kyle would leap off the boat. Probably going to ITA. Welcome Chris Draper!

Disappointed for Hannah, but not surprised. Ben will never let a woman helm.

Dylan will do well and is a better fit than Gilles.

Season 5 SailGP calendar revealed today!

They’re going to Auckland, Germany (maybe Kiel?), and Brazil (no location yet).

No Canadian locale, but lots in the Middle East.

Nice to see Taranto and Geneva on the Calendar.
