A Q&A with Matteo Alfieri about Henri-Lloyd's Mav-Lite Shell 2.0 There's an old joke in the Pacific Northwest that you can wear the same kit to go sailing on Saturday and skiing on Sunday—you've just got to change your outer layers. More recently, however, I learned that swapping jackets can also be optional.

Stunning conditions for three days of racing and celebration The Bay of Palma has become a natural mecca for Mediterranean sailing events.

Palma provides the X-Factor for a fantastic event I've attended a couple of X-Yachts Gold Cups in Denmark, one in Aarhus and one in Haderslev, which has been the obvious location for the Danish boatyard to host events, but the yachts, and their sailors, have naturally ventured further afield.

A Q&A with Michaella McCloskey about SailGP's F50 licenses and demerit system SailGP offers some of the world's highest-performance on-the-water racing. Factor in more teams and the short racecourses and tight starting lines that the league has long used, and the objective risks are hard to ignore.

Well before SailGP, there was Grand Prix 18-Foot Skiff Sailing, so what links the two? Rob Brown OAM reached out to me but a few weeks ago. Dangerous thing that, for it got me to thinking. As I pondered this, and reviewed that, I reached out to another great pal in Bill Macartney, to assess what I had been pondering.
Posted on 16 Jun At the mercy of the elements?
Forecast fear, broadcast windows, and even mountains Possibly more than any other sport, sailing demands the right conditions to take place, specifically with the wind. Both too much and too little cause their own issues, but there are more factors at play...
Posted on 10 Jun A distinct injustice?
When is a RIB not RIB, nor dayboat, nor adventure craft? When it is an ADV from Highfield... You know, you would have to think so… Yes, they are dayboats. They're also adventure craft, which is why Highfield calls them the ADV7 and ADV9. Problem is, Highfield themselves call them RIBs, and as best as I can tell, they're actually not.
