  • Doldrum dilemma for The Ocean Race

    Updated: 2023-01-30 17:44:53
    (January 30, 2023; Day 6) - It's been a difficult 24 hours for The Ocean Race fleet as the five IMOCA teams become fully engulfed in the Intertropical Convergence Zone, better known as the doldrums. The light, fickle winds, random storm cells and clouds that bring sudden puffs of wind along with rain and thunder and lightning, mean days and nights of uncertainty. The prize for escape is immense - the promise of steady southeasterly tradewinds south of the equator and acceleration towards the final goal, the finish in Cape Town. - Full report

  • Fewer sailors to sail in America’s Cup

    Updated: 2023-01-26 21:20:34
    When commenting about the costs of an America’s Cup campaign, five-time winner Russell Coutts noted in 2014 how personnel was somewhere between 50 and 60 per cent of the running costs of the teams. To reduce campaign costs, the trend has been to reduce crew. With crew size cut in half from the keelboat era, there will be eight people onboard the AC75 in 2024, and a good chance each boat will be teaching at least two crew how to sail. Why? Because they won't be sailors. - Full report
