Oops! Radical new L-shaped boom on Green Dragon
Oops! Radical new L-shaped boom on Green Dragon
Quality not quantity
We examine where the TP52 class and Audi MedCup stand
While numbers are decidedly down from the 20+ boat fleets we saw last year, the Audi MedCup for the TP52s remains buoyant with at least four new boats in build for 2009. Thomas Coville yesterday set off on his solo non-stop round the world record attempt. There was disaster yesterday for Green Dragon in the Volvo Ocean Race (see above). From Team Russia, Mark Covell sends a must-read report. See this morning's report. In the Vendee Globe the leaders are entering the Doldrums.
We look at the Elliott 6, the new boat for women's match racing at the 2012 Olympic Games. Michel Kleinjans was the first solo sailor in on the Portimao Global Ocean Race. See the report from Garmin Hamble Winter Series.
