SAIL PLANET

01 Haziran 2023 admin SAILPLANET 0

As crew of the The Famous Project headed towards the Southern Ocean they knew there was a question as to whether they could reef the mainsail or not. Making the call to go or bale was huge and agonising
When co-skipper Dee Caffari added a 7th lap of the planet to her sailing CV aboard The Famous Project she and the eight strong crew also entered the record books as they became the first all female team to complete a non-stop race around the planet as part of a Jules Verne campaign. It's always a pleasure to hear from Dee, but this exclusive one to one with Matt Sheahan was particularly special as she explained; just what it’s like to take a giant trimaran around the world when no one on board had done it before, how they made the crucial decision to head into the Southern Ocean when they weren't sure whether or not they could reef the mainsail and many other key points along their 57 day trip. Matt and Dee also discuss the future of global record breaking and where the next generation of machines is heading.

Tamara Echegoyen is no stranger to competition and challenges. Famous for her string of successes in Olympic class boats over many years she has also raced around the world. But as she describes, sometimes the hardest part can be when you're closest to the finish
Skipper and The Famous Project CIC founder Alexia Barrier is no stranger to racing around the world, but setting out to take an all female team in the Jules Verne aboard the giant trimaran IDEC Sport that had set the course record in 2017 was a massive challenge. here's a snippet of why she did it and a trailer for the most recent of the four part series we have run on an incredible season for global records.
Dee Caffari explains what a 7th circumnavigation means to her after the team aboard The Famous Project crossed the line off Ushant to set a new record for the first all female crew to complete a non-stop lap of the planet in the Jules Verne. Their performance in a boat that is clearly of a very different generation to the current crop of foiling machines and requires the crew to sail it in a more conventional way, makes for a fascinating story. When it comes to global records, it’s easy to simply focus on the first and the fastest and disregard any trip that doesn't meet this binary challenge. But when you look at the number of failed attempts at just completing the course, whatever the gender make up in the crew, simply completing it is a huge achievement. Their trip was successful because of their determination and resilience above anything else and their story is a fascinating one. Part 4 of our Lapping the Planet series looks at the closing stages of their trip and how patience and smart thinking delivered the result they were looking for.
The stark truth through the numbers as to why it's so hard to set a new global record
How two separate teams faced and coped with major storms that threatened to block their path to a new record in the closing stages of a 28,000mile trip
Two campaigns, two extraordinary trips and two new records
When Alexia Barrier's giant trimaran, The Famous Project crossed the Ushant finishing line off the Brittany coast after 57 days at sea, she and her crew entered the record books. The eight strong crew were now the first all female crew to complete a non-stop circumnavigation. Their initial target was to make an assault on the Jules Verne Trophy for the fastest fully crewed lap of the planet in the trimaran that had set the record that has only just fallen back in 2017. And while they knew this target was ambitious, they were also aiming to set a new reference time for an all female crew. And that is now done. The only previous all female campaign was by Tracy Edwards aboard Royal & Sun Alliance back in 1998 which ended in the Southern Ocean after the cat was dismasted. And when you look at the overall stats for the race it's easy to see what a challenge this has been for anyone that has taken it on. Until 2025 there had been 30 Jules Verne attempts in total and only 14 had successfully circumnavigated the globe. Of these, only 9 had achieved a record. So, as The Famous Project became the 16th to complete the course they entered the record book too. Having followed their progress in our three previous Jules Verne reports, in this episode we look at how their race around the world played out.
Thomas Coville and his team aboard the foiling Ultim trimaran Sodebo-3 have set a new non-stop record around the world and in doing so has taken the Jules Verne Trophy. The team's new record pace takes over 12 hours off the previous record and yet impressive though it is, the achievement represents a great deal more. In the closing stages severe weather came close to derailing the campaign and put huge amounts of pressure on the team. Since the record was set in 2017 there have been 13 unsuccessful attempts at beating it, Coville accounted for three of them, that's how hard this record is to achieve and why Coville's success is seen as such a major achievement. But still there is more to this Jules Verne season - This is a story of not one but two campaigns. The second trimaran, IDEC Sport had set the previous record and now known as The Famous Project, was attempting its own non-stop lap. If successful they too would enter the record books as the first ever all women crew to complete a non-stop lap pf the planet. But they too were facing a serious dilemma as to how best to handle the weather that was threatening to block their path at best and derail their entire campaign at worst. So, in part 3 of our Jules Verne coverage we look at how the final stages of the two Jules Verne attempts played out.

The first official gathering of the 38th America's Cup was a glitzy affair as five teams and the America's Cup entourage rolled into Naples, Italy. To many this event, set in the prestigious surroundings of the Palazzo Reale marked the start of the 38th Cup cycle. And as with pretty much every start to a Cup there were smiles all round and talk of big things to come. Justin Chisholm was there on behalf of PlanetSail and thrust his microphone under the chins of the key players to find out how they felt about the road to the Cup, while Matt Sheahan gives his take on what we have learned at the start of the 38th America's Cup cycle.
When the conditions align it's the dream trade winds trip and this year the Royal Ocean Club's Transatlantic Race was a stunner. Perfect conditions saw flat out performances across the board and records tumbled.
When the conditions align it's the dream trade winds trip and this year the Royal Ocean Club's Transatlantic Race was a stunner. Perfect conditions saw flat out performances across the board and records tumbled. Here's what it was like aboard two of the front runners who both set new course records from the crews themselves starting with the crew of the MOD 70 Argo who demolished the multihull record while locking horns with their familiar competitor and sister ship Zoulou. Plus, we gain a fascinating an insight into one of the most secret yet advanced monohulls on the planet, the stunning 111ft Raven. We covered the launch of this boat two years ago and her story was extremely popular.

Swiss skipper Sebastien Schnieter explains the other side of the situation. While there are plenty of collisions in SailGP, some of them pretty major, what strikes me about this one is how shaken both skippers are. Both seem to know but don't say, how much worse this collision could have been in just a metre or so. This is also perhaps the clearest evidence we've seen of the unspoken fear that sits within each and every crew member. It's fast, it's fun and it's at the very leading edge of the sport, but the risks are increasing all the time. PlanetSail Full review online now www.planetsail.co.uk
"I'm pretty shaken up and frustrated" - Peter Burling Was the Black Foils skipper right to be frustrated by the collision with the Swiss that now sees his team starting the season on -7 points and in a race against time to have their boat repaired for the next event in Auckland NZ on 14-15 Feb? Full SailGP Perth review online now www.PlanetSail.co.uk
'Absolutely amazing!'.....'The best conditions!'.......'Phenomenal Racing'! It was clear what the sailors thought as they stepped ashore at the end of the opening event of the 2026 SailGP season. Expectations leading into the event had been high, thanks largely to the reputation of the notorious local sea breeze, The Freemantle Doctor. And from the moment teams went out to practice in the days before it was obvious that the chatter hadn't been hype. Injuries, breakages and high speed dramas had been delivered before the racing had event started, and when it did, the competition was explosive. Fleet racing at speeds of 30knots upwind and 45 downwind made for some hair raising mark roundings and plenty of stress. Here's the PlanetSail review of a spectacular opening weekend.
The 9 x World Champion, Your Race Around the World, Remote 40 footers and Flying Cats. From winning nine world titles to heading deep into the Southern Ocean aboard a 40 footer, from taking an F50 cat fully airborne to the next generation of round the world racing for everyone, this week we take a look at four very different corners of the sport starting with Ian Williams’ incredible ninth win in the World Match Racing Tour. How did the defining day play out? Meanwhile at the opposite end of the scale the fleet of Class 40’s competing in the Globe 40 race are heading to the most remote point at sea where the International Space Station provides the closest access to other humans. We take a quick look at SailGP’s opening event where the local ‘doctor’ has been causing a few breakages, injuries and hairy moments, before turning our attention to the new 72footer that you could be racing around the world in 2027.

Co-skipper Benjamin Schwartz gives a tour of the cockpit as the on watch team keep the giant trimaran flying
While several of The Famous Project crew already have circumnavigations to their names, some many times, taking a 32m Ultim tri through the deep south from the Cape of Good Hope to the notorious Cape Horn took the entire crew into new territory. Little surprise then that turning the corner at the bottom of the world is such a big deal.
From their start off Ushant Sodebo 3 had a blistering run from the down south to join the Southern Ocean. But their passage through this extensive and notorious stretch of oceanic wasteland has been a difficult one. Keeping flat out in fog is just one of the challenges.
Be it Sodebo 3, or The Famous Project, both have their heads down as they try to achieve two separate records. Their passages through the Southern Ocean have been fascinating. Here's a taste of why and a link to part 2 of our Lapping the Planet feature
Thomas Coville's Sodebo 3 and Alexia Barrier's The Famous Project could be on the verge of setting two new records. Our trailer to part 2 of our feature on Lapping the Planet
Two teams are on the verge of setting two new records. For Alexia Barrier's team on The Famous Project and Thomas Coville's crew aboard Sodebo 3, charging through the Southern Ocean and past the three great Capes has been a stressful and emotional experience. And while both have succeeded in running the gauntlet to head back into the South Atlantic, both teams know that even though their bows are pointing at the finish, they are still a long way off sealing the deal. Whatever happens next, their trips since crossing the start line in Ushant have been outstanding to follow. In part 2 of our Lapping the Planet feature, Matt Sheahan takes a close look at what their long trips through the Southern Ocean have been like. Both provide a fascinating insight into two very different campaigns. Both have been candid about what it's like and what it means to them - This is not to be missed! Plus, if you haven't done so already you can see how the opening stages played out in part 1.
The first racing in the next America's Cup cycle is just months away. How will this Cup be different? Matt Sheahan gives his views
News of how the next America's Cup has been filtering through over the last few months but the event is rushing up - Matt Sheahan considers what the information might mean and how the 38th America's Cup will shape up
The recent signing of the AC38 protocol created a flurry of news stories and speculation as to how the next Cup would play out. And while the governance of the Cup is a big deal, the news that followed has been more of a drip feed than the start of a new chapter for the 175 year old trophy. But don't be fooled, the 38th Cup is a big deal, not least of all because the runway is now pretty short with teams moving into completely new territory when it comes to how this Cup will be run. The first event is in just a few months time with the Cup Match itself taking place next year. The closing date for entries is the end of January 2026 and yet there's still talk of more teams taking part and the Kiwis are about to get their AC75 back on the water. The fact is we're underway already, so what's going on? In our latest update Matt Sheahan pulls together the various news stories, inside chatter and gossip to put together his personal analysis of what's going on to explain what state the Cup is in and where we should be looking. We also hear from the chief architect of the AC75 Emirates Team New Zealand's Dan Bernasconi about how this generation of AC75s will differ from the previous machines. Plus, if you thought that talk of a collaboration among Cup teams with the ACP sounded familiar, we've dug out some great clips from 2017 where some of the key players in the sport talk about the biggest change for the Cup......If nothing else it should produce a wry smile or two!
With the big guns tied to the dock in Hobart the stopwatches were running to see who would take overall victory on corrected time in IRC. Like the supermaxis, this too became a tight battle but with a twist at the end. This feature is an amended version of our first 2025 Sydney Hobart Race report so if you've already watched that skip to 04:15 to pick up the latest news on the IRC victory.
In the sailing world there is one event that has defined Boxing Day for 80 years, the Rolex Sydney Hobart race. It's a classic, a 628 miles south.
