Sail-World covered the Audi Etchells Pre-Pre Worlds, the Syd Corser regatta over the weekend. Our coverage of the upcoming Etchells Nationals and Audi Etchells Worlds will be more detailed.

We also have news from the 18 footers and the Farr 40's.

Sail-World NZL has interviewed Hamish Pepper, the new Star World Champion. Its a good read, with plenty of pictures If you are involved with sailing events, set your computer to receive our 660 pixel wide and full screen pix and have a look at this story. This is the kind of coverage sailors are now enjoying on Sail-World, you can see why we had 30,000 visitors last week and your events and their sponsors need to talk to us. Just as major advertisers are already.

Mariner Boating, Australia's Sailing Holiday specialists have released their 2007 program now.

Since 2000 Mariner Boating Holidays has developed a series of yacht rallies in the leading cruising grounds of the world.

The only sailing regattas in the world with more lay days than races – and even the racing is optionalThese escorted rallies offer a mix of cruising, racing and sight-seeing in the company of like-minded sailors where the social agenda may well become the highlight of your holiday.
