Emirates GBR CEO and Co-Owner Ben Ainslie has broken down the pivotal moment that decided one of the closest SailGP Finals in recent memory, as Emirates GBR and Australia battled for victory in New York.

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.

Vassiliki, Greece, is famous for its clockwork conditions. Every summer afternoon, like a reliable training partner, ‘Eric’ arrives. This local thermal cross-shore wind builds smoothly, offering the perfect high-octane test track.

Nine boats arrived at Bartley S.C. in the strong wind conditions that Bartley is becoming famous for. With gusts hitting thirty miles an hour, Chris Martin O.D. gave the briefest of briefings and sent us to our fates.

The last day of Loro Piana Giraglia inshore/coastal racing, took place with the two maxi fleets off on a shortened 12-mile coastal race.

Day 2 of our National 12 River and Dales Weekend was held at Yorkshire Dales SC. After the battering the fleet had received on the river at Yorkshire Ouse SC the day before, we were looking forward to something a little more sailable.

On June 14th Blithfield greeted our stalwart Midland sailors to a breeze which was slightly more than predicted initially with cloud cover and full sit up conditions upwind for the HD Sails Midland Circuit Open 2026.

Forget Wimbledon. Ignore the World Cup. Cancel your family holiday. The Fireball World Championships 2026 in Torbay are almost upon us, and the race to become the fastest, cleverest and luckiest sailors on the planet is well under way.

The three damaged F50s involved in the start-line pile-up in the New York round of SailGP, are “targeted” to make a return at this weekend’s SailGP event in Halifax, Canada.

A brisk south-westerly breeze provided excellent sailing conditions for the Corinthian Otter Open Held at the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club, Burnham on Crouch, on Sunday 7 June.
