The America's Cup trophy is returning to New York today, arriving business class after flying from Geneva (the home of the current Defender, the Société Nautique de Genève) via Spain (where Valencia is the current host city). |
The last 12 hours of leg eight of the Volvo Ocean Race are shaping up to be a drag race to Rotterdam between Ericsson (Neal McDonald) – looking for another strong performance in this penultimate leg, ABN AMRO ONE (Mike Sanderson) – who would dearly like to lead the fleet into their home port, and today’s leader, Brasil 1 (Torben Grael). The fight has never been so intense. |
While the leading pack in the Volvo Ocean Race are streaking away with fresh breeze, the trailing pack are frustrated, tired and hungry. Overnight, Ericsson (Neal McDonald), Brasil 1 (Torben Grael) and ANB AMRO ONE (Mike Sanderson) sneaked their way through the Inner Sound of the Pentland Firth, but the back markers chose the Outer Sound and paid the price. Now, the front runners are nearly 100 miles ahead, and the tail-enders are less than impressed. |
Paris, 7 June, 2006 - The '32nd America's Cup on Tour', a travelling 'Embassy' for the America's Cup has arrived in Paris at Place de la Bastille. The installation was inaugurated on Wednesday evening and will remain open through this weekend, closing on Sunday 11 June. |
.jpg) ©Volvo Ocean Race 2005 - 2006 With time running short and leg eight of the Volvo Ocean Race taking much longer than originally predicted, the race committee last night shortened the course. The new course takes the fleet around Duncansby Head on mainland Scotland and through the Pentland Firth, rather than round Fair Isle which is situated between the Orkney and Shetland Islands. |
The Spring 2006 Lottery raised almost £1m (£976,000) for the RNLI recently - the highest amount ever, and the equivalent of 20 years training for more than 40 of our volunteer crew*. |
The sun is out and if you were planning on going sailing last weekend, then it was a beautiful weekend, but it a tight yacht race out in the Irish Sea. Pirates of the Caribbean (Paul Cayard) is about two boat lengths away from Brunel (Matt Humphries), who is just nudging the ABN ARMO ONE (Mike Sanderson), while Brasil 1 (Torben Grael) is the new leader, from Ericsson Racing Team in second place, two miles behind. |
With the little increase in breeze this morning, ABN AMRO ONE (Mike Sanderson) is back in her customary position: at the head of the fleet, and Ericsson (Neal McDonald) is now in second position on leg eight of the Volvo Ocean Race, the slowest leg of the race so far. |
Yacht designer Jeremy Rogers helmed his Contessa 26 “Rosina of Beaulieu” to win the Gold Roman Bowl in the JPMorgan Asset Management Round the Island Race. The team was very much a family affair with his two sons, Simon looking after the sail trim and Kit on the bow. |
Last year Camp Kerala came to Skandia Cowes Week fresh from its success at the Glastonbury Festival to test whether the demand for this style of luxury was called for during our world famous regatta. It was a huge success. Having decided to come to Cowes virtually on the spur of the moment, the interest generated was fantastic and on the final night Camp Kerala was fully booked and turning people away. |
