Thank you. 4 days into the 2026 RORC Transatlantic Race, the fleet has fully escaped the Canary Islands and locked into the rhythm of the trade winds. At the very front of the fleet, the Mod 70 trimarans are delivering a jaw-dropping masterclass in extreme ocean racing. Jason Carroll’s Argo, and Erik Maris’ Zoulou, are routinely charging through the high twenties and punching past 30 knots as the breeze builds. As of 1400 UTC on Wednesday 14 January, Argo holds an advantage of approximately 50 nautical miles over Zoulou, and is just over 1,000 miles from the finish in Antigua. At this pace, the Mod 70's are shaping up for a crossing time of under five days,. While Argo sits confidently in the driving seat, Zoulou remains very much in range, with only hours separating them if the conditions tighten.

Twenty-four hours after rounding Cape Horn for the very first time in his career, Benjamin Schwartz reflects on the challenging conditions encountered aboard Sodebo Ultim 3, since the start of their ascent of the South Atlantic. The last 24 hours have been particularly trying for the crew: unstable weather, very rough seas, and an intense pace on board. Difficult conditions, but ones that should gradually improve in the coming hours, with rising temperatures and calmer seas. Benjamin also discusses rounding the legendary Cape Horn, a powerful and "memorable" moment for the six crew members who were rounding it for the first time. An even more special moment for him, as he, along with five of his crewmates, has now become a Cape Horner. Day 29. Sodebo Ultim 3 is sailing on the edge of an anticyclone before beginning its ascent up its western flank to reach the trade winds... In the maneuvering area, the watch handover is taking place between Pierre Leboucher and Nicolas Troussel. CIC Idec Sport report corrupted during their live stream from boat. Our apologies. We kept it in to show onboard footage.

A vision realised in Lanzarote “From the very beginning in 2014 this race has been a labour of passion for my family, my team and our partners,” commented José Juan Calero, CEO of Calero Marinas. “Creating an offshore race across one of the world’s great oceans was a real challenge at the time. The early years were not easy, entries were limited, but with the unwavering loyalty and support of the Royal Ocean Racing Club, we believed in the vision and kept moving forward. “Today, the RORC Transatlantic Race is firmly established as one of the reference events on the global offshore calendar, and that makes us immensely proud. To witness the start here in Lanzarote was deeply emotional; from the first foiling superyacht ever to start this race, to the intense match racing between the MOD70s and the extraordinary diversity of crews and boats. Watching the fleet depart past Puerto Calero, where our family’s story began, felt like both a farewell and a celebration. This race represents ambition, perseverance and the true spirit of offshore sailing.”

The passage across the Indian Ocean is when Idec Sport enjoyed a near-perfect run, and Sodebo could do nothing as they watched their lead reduced to under 200 nautical miles at times as they gybed to find the best winds, knowing that Joyon and his team back in 2016/17 covered the entire ocean on one gybe at incredible speed. Sodebo has though held the lead and set a new record to Cape Leeuwin of 17 days, 1 hour, and 17 minutes, over 5 and a half hours quicker than Idec’s time.

Welcome to this special English vrsion of the World on Water for November 04 2025. It is part 2 of our coverage of the Transat Cafe L'or a bi annual double handed race for the magnificent Ultims, the high flying Imocas, Ocean 50's trimarans and the Class 40's. They've been through the channel gale and now the fun begins as they jockey for positions. Even for the Class 40s which only restarted their TRANSAT CAFÉ L’OR race to Martinique on Saturday the intensity and pace is starting to tell, maybe especially in the IMOCA class where the leading trio are engaged in a close drag race in the trade winds. The ULTIM leaders, Tom Laperche and Franck Cammas on SVR Lazartigue have 160 nautical miles in hand with just less than 1600 miles to the finish line in Fort De France whilst the Ocean Fifty pack leaders, Man Le Roch, and Basile Bourgnon, on Edenred 5, seem unable to really make a decisive break. Meanwhile the Class40 leaders are very much watching to see their nearest rivals unfold their strategy, making choices which could likely shape the race. The ULTIMS are really into the final leg of their race, gybing down the South American exclusion zone to their west. On course to set a new record for victories on this race, five, Franck Cammas is ‘in the zone’ doing what he loves. In the Imocas After losing 20 or 30 miles when they hit the transition zone first, Jérémie Byou and Morgan Lagravière on Charal are back on track. The US flagged 11th Hour Racing have been quickest for periods early this morning and today, Francesca Clapcich, and Will Harris, pressing extra hard after being required to take a 30 minutes penalty for an inadvertent break of the seal on their liferaft. The Ocean 50's, With a little less than 1300 nautical miles to go to the finish line, have broken south of the rhumb line, the direct course. They have 35 miles of a cushion over Baptiste Hulin,, and Thomas Rouxel, (Viablis),,and should extend their lead as they get into the strong trade winds. The top six duos in the Class 40's are within six miles of each other as they take on a low pressure trough. S N S M Faites un Don, who were first into La Coruña, have a small lead in their most southerly position whilst Spanish duo Pep Costa and Pablo Santurde continue to prefer to be the most northerly on VSF Sports, there being some 35 miles of lateral separation.

This is your weekly Global Sailing Highlights show, the World on Water, for October 31St, 2025. This week we have a special on the Transat Cafe L’or, Le Harve, Normandy, which started last weekend, and the 42 boat fleet of four classes sailed into a punishing gale in the English Channel off France. The class 40s were then held ashore as three Ocean 50 Trimarans capsized. The huge Banque Populaire 11 also had to stop to replace a broken rudder. This is the most punishing Trans Atlantic race held every two years. Our coverage starts with the Day one report. After the Class 40 fleet started again on their first leg, all was not well aboard Innovad Group. A broken halyard resulted in their huge sail crashing into the water. With only two crew onboard to retrieve it, this was a back breaking job.

In the meantime the the TRANSAT CAFÉ L’OR Normandie Le Havre started and were then reated to muscular wind conditions and leaden skies as they made a fast start to what should be an express exit from the English Channel. On the first night Three Ocean 50s capsized, the Ultims powered ahead while vthe 18 Imocas battened down as the class 40s had a mandatory stop into La Coruña on the North West corner of Spain. Punishing conditions. The 46th edition of the Rolex Middle Sea Race is underway. An impressive international fleet of 117 yachts are contesting the 46th edition of this compelling and historic offshore race.

After the scarest moment in life, Eric Marsh aboard his yacht, Sunbear, finally arrives in Mauritius, and for the first time, he opens up about his terrifying man- overboard experience. It’s the kind of moment every sailor dreads, and Eric’s raw story captures the real danger, courage, and determination behind the Mini Globe Race 2025. We thank Christine Turner who was on the dock in Mauritius for capturing this special moment! Monohull line honours has been decided at the 2025 Rolex Middle Sea Race. Crossing the finish line in Marsamxett Harbour, Malta, at 05:44:07 CEST, Black Jack 100 took the title in an elapsed time of 2 days, 17 hours, 44 minutes and 7 seconds. Success for the 100-foot Maxi yacht, skippered by Tristan Le Brun and owned by Remon Vos, was highly coveted. Last year, Black Jack 100 had to settle for second on the water after a thrilling duel with Scallywag 100. The two yachts met again in July at the Rolex Fastnet Race, where this time Black Jack 100 claimed line honours, turning the tables on her rival. This week, eighteen double-handed crews will depart from Le Havre to embark on the Transat Café l’OR, a storied transatlantic race that has traced this oceanic course since 1993. Covering 4,350 nautical miles, from the English Channel down into tropical trade winds, their destination is Fort-de-France, Martinique.

This is your weekly Global Sailing Highlights show, the World on Water, for October 17th, 2025. It was an unfortunate opening to the Australian 18 Footers League's 2025-26 summer season when strong westerly winds, gusting to more than 30 knots, forced the club to abandon Race 1 of the Sixth Spring 18ft skiff Championship on Sydney Harbour. Eleven of the fourteen teams entered for the race attempted to reach the start in the dreadful conditions that prevailed and only three were able to cross the start line after a 30 minutes delay. After being becalmed on Monday, Jasmine Harrison’s week in the Mini Globe Race turned into pure endurance at sea. A long, sleepless night brought relentless squalls, freezing cold, and then, disaster, her Hydrovane self-steering broke. To make it worse, Starlink went down for 48 hours, cutting her off from weather updates and the outside world. Then with advice from Hydrovane support, and spare parts on board, she’s now back on track, the wind’s picked up, and Starlink’s back online.

After two days of strong Bise winds and fiercely contested racing for the high-performance foiling TF35 fleet, and the final in Geneva offered a complete contrast, four technical races sailed in a gentle 5 to 8 knot breezes. Returning to the circuit after a break earlier in the season, Jérôme Clerc, at the helm of Realteam Spirit with crew members Sébastien Col, Gurvan Bontemps, Léo Tetaz, Eliot Merceron, and Benjamin Amiot, showed remarkable consistency across the 14 races to claim the Grand Prix victory with a narrow two-point margin.

The Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup is synonymous with excellence and ranks among the most impressive events on the yachting calendar. Organized by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in collaboration with the International Maxi Association, it offers crews a spectacular race setting in the emerald waters of north-east Sardinia, with varied conditions and testing courses.

On the final day of the 5.5 Metre French Open in Cannes, the wind died initially but then picked up to 15-18 knots, leading to two races where New Moon III (BAH 25), with an unbeatable lead, won the first race, and then won the final race as well to claim the overall title.  On October 26th, the TRANSAT CAFÉ L’OR, will be off to a great start! In the meantime, onboard 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺 𝟰, experience the intensity of a start alongside Anthony Marchand, Navigator and Julien Villion, his co-Navigator. Day 8 in Sylt was one for the history books, as the Freestylers lit up the North Sea in perfect conditions. Lennart Neubauer was unstoppable, smashing the 40-point barrier in every heat and landing the first-ever contest triple culo on his way to victory in the Single Elimination. He sealed the win in the final with 44.2 points, edging Yentel Caers, who stays firmly on course for a third world title.

The fantastic Lorient-La Base was once again buzzing with excitement for the Défi Azimut. Now in its 15th year, the event brings together 12 pairs of skippers on their Imoca foiling 60 footers for what was to be another intense, festive and friendly week. Ray Davies of Emirates Team New Zealand recently made a vibrant stop in Naples, Italy, ahead of the upcoming Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup, and was left in awe: of both the city and its sailing conditions. “This is Naples. It’s unreal!” said Davies. “From what I’ve seen in just two days, it’s absolutely sensational.” Having competed in Naples during the America’s Cup World Series events in 2012 and 2013, Davies returns with fresh eyes, now envisioning the AC75s racing across the iconic Bay of Naples. Thomas de Dinechin's mast broke during the 56th edition of La Solitaire du Figaro Paprec in September 2025. De Dinechin was sailing aboard the boat, Almond for Pure Océan, when the dismasting occurred. From roll-out at dawn to dock-in at sunset, here is a full day at the Cagliari Base lived through the team’s eyes. The fleet leaves the dock for the sailing session while design team and shore team monitor every detail, from onboard systems to radio communications. The conditions for the day were similar to Tuesday but with a forecast of strong southerly winds arriving mid-afternoon, so expectations were for one or two races. After a timing error from New Moon, Otto made the best of the start of Race 3 and led uop the first neat and down the run. However, they picked the inshore gate mark while New Moon rounded the offshore gate into the slowly shifting breeze. New Moon took advantage and took the lead to win from Otto with Enez C'las II a solid third. Week 6–8 of the Mini Globe Race 2025 brings a mix of paradise, emotions, and new beginnings. After thousands of miles across the Indian Ocean, skippers reach the stunning Cocos-Keeling Islands — white sands, turquoise waters, and a brief taste of heaven before the challenge continues. But even in paradise, homesickness creeps in… and sometimes a new haircut means a fresh start!

To start with following two days of intense competition on the Sea of Marmara, the 24th Bosphorus Cup concluded with the race on the Bosphorus Strait. The busy waterway is closed once a year to allow this impressive contest to take place, and as usual a sumptuous spectacle was laid on for both competitors and spectators. Racing in a 15 knot northerly winds, and starting from Kuruçeşme, the 55 boat fleet contested a looped course that went as far north as Anadolu Hiasari, and the impressive F S M Bridge, and south to Beşiktaş, with the finish line near Beşiktaş. Hugo Cardon on his Figaro 3, Sarth'Atlantique, won the second leg of La Solitaire du Figaro Paprec. This young rookie managed to cover the distance in 4 days 2 hours 14 minutes and 29 seconds.

Here are the best bits on Leg 5. With summery sunshine warming the dock at Lorient La Base, the skippers, exhausted by the two-day frenzy of manoeuvres, congratulated themselves on the diversity of the course in this 48H Azimut. "Fun", "intense", "fantastic", "tortuous", "demanding"... there was certainly no shortage of adjectives to describe the 48 H and its 'Figaro leg' vibes. Tougher than ever, this 14th Défi Azimut-Lorient Agglomération required the skippers to dig incredibly deep to hold rank. After a much needed stopover in Puerto Sherry, the Clipper Race fleet is back at sea! The teams set off on the YCPE Cup, to Punta del Este 🇺🇾. This stage brings the second half of the Atlantic Trade Winds - a test of tactics, patience, and teamwork.

After what could only be described as a disastrous opening day for the Japan Sailing Federation team competing in the 2025 Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup, the squad roared back into relevance with a fourth and a first to start Day 2 of the five-day biennial competition. A 14th in the third race of the day tempered the comeback, but the Japanese team was all smiles this evening as team principal Masuhiro Bamba, walked up to accept the prize for winning Race 5. Emirates Team New Zealand are four-time winners and Defenders of the 37th America's Cup and as such they get to set the regatta rules. The 38th event will be held in Italy and their design guru, Dan Bernasconi lays out the new rules. The Royal Ocean Racing Club’s inaugural Cowes Offshore Racing Series has signed off in style after seven thrilling, hard-fought races, marking the start of a bold new chapter for Solent-based offshore competition. Launched in the Club’s Centenary year, the series gave over 500 sailors, both Corinthian and professionals, the chance to go bow-to-bow in a compact but demanding programme. With the best five races counting from seven, the fleet faced everything the Channel could throw at them — from glassy Solent drifters where inches mattered, to bruising legs around notorious headlands and into the open sea. With a three-hour-long Bay Tour race as the final test for competitors, the 61st edition of the Rolex Big Boat Series hosted by St. Francis Yacht Club came to a stunning close. The skippers at the top of the podium in the J/105 and ORC B classes were awarded coveted Rolex Submariner Dates. Bruce Stone and Nicole Breault's Arbitrage came away victorious among the J/105s, the regatta's largest fleet, and Peter Wagner's J/111 Skeleton Key was the victor in the ORC B division. After what could only be described as a disastrous opening day for the Japan Sailing Federation team competing in the 2025 Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup, the squad roared back into relevance with a fourth and a first to start Day 2 of the five-day biennial competition. A 14th in the third race of the day tempered the comeback, but the Japanese team was all smiles this evening as team principal Masuhiro Bamba (below, left with Rear Commodore Peter Cummiskey) walked up to accept the prize for winning Race 5. After two solid days of racing, with nine races completed and one day lost to light winds, Yann Guichard’s Sails of Change 8 emerged as the clear winner, securing the top spot on the leaderboard with a commanding nine-point margin. Eastern Yacht Club calls it the Reverse Rabbit. When Plan A—usually starting close to the pin—doesn’t go to, well, plan, the Reverse Rabbit is the exit strategy. It’s far from easy and success has to be measured against the alternative. But for Race 8 of the 2025 Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup, it was the only viable option for tactician Bill Lynn and his EYC teammates. They pulled it off, finished sixth in the race and won the day. Many were hoping to claim victory in the opening leg of La Solitaire du Figaro Paprec, but the honours went to Alexis Loison, (Groupe R E E L), who took the win with a race time of 3 days, 18 hours, 55 minutes, and 26 seconds. Hugo Dhallenne, (Skipper Macif 2025), and Charlotte Yven, (Skipper Macif 2023), completed the podium. For the second time in his career, and after 19 participations, Normandy sailor Alexis Loison secures another victory, following his 2014 triumph in Plymouth.
