69. <p dir="ltr"><strong>Report #2 from the mighty Restless Transpac 2025 Team. </strong></p>
70. <p dir="ltr"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-125431" src="https://i0.wp.com/sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-blur-300x225.jpg?resize=400%2C300&#038;ssl=1" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" srcset="https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-blur-300x225.jpg 300w, https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-blur-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-blur-768x576.jpg 768w, https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-blur-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-blur-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-blur-800x600.jpg 800w, https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-blur-507x380.jpg 507w" alt="" width="400" height="300" />Let’s start where we left off late on the 5th. We did have the shrimp and rice for dinner. It was a nice light fare that would have paired well with a Sauvignon blanc (which we didn’t have). The nights have been quite dark with low cloud cover every night but we finally had some stars in sight for a welcome change.<a target="_blank" href="https://cf.yb.tl/transpac2025" > See where they are</a>.</p>
71. <p dir="ltr">That is until Greg and I were midway through an early AM watch, and it started drizzling. Mind you, we have been itching to get out of foulies during the evenings for a couple days at this stage so we’re only in long pants and light puffers over tee shirts. No rogue waves this time, but the light drizzle turned into a bit more as we sat in silence.</p>
72. <p dir="ltr">Eventually I said, “this is real rain and it kind of sucks.” Greg responded with a simple “yeah” before I suggested maybe we should put some proper gear on. Again, I was greeted with a dumbfounded, “yeah” and I quickly lept below and tossed on bibs and a jacket before relieving Greg on the tiller for him to do the same. Once he came back on deck, we both burst out laughing at our lack of urgency, like we were maritime versions of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mDqsgbtpDLk" >Beavis and Butthead</a>.</p>
73. <p dir="ltr">Morning of July 6th and the clouds lifted early for another beautiful day of sailing. We are VMG running with the S-2 and trying to get south to avoid an incoming swath of light winds hot on our heels. Hopefully the big guys behind us hit this speed bump on the course as the tracker has them eating up our lead in a hurry.</p>
74. <p dir="ltr">The breeze has been quite soft at times but we did try some of our staysail inventory out with little success. A few major boat prep projects like water maker, alternator, and rudder in the 60 days leading up to the start made prioritizing some of our sail inventory testing impossible, which has left us with some staysails that are too big for moderate conditions and can’t be used effectively. Like Maverick said, time is your greatest adversary!</p>
75. <p dir="ltr"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-125433" src="https://i0.wp.com/sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-float-on-300x225.jpg?resize=400%2C300&#038;ssl=1" sizes="auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" srcset="https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-float-on-300x225.jpg 300w, https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-float-on-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-float-on-768x576.jpg 768w, https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-float-on-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-float-on-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-float-on-800x600.jpg 800w, https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-float-on-507x380.jpg 507w" alt="" width="400" height="300" />Not sure I am ready to deplete the onboard sail repair kit for a mid-ocean recut, but who knows… food wise, we had a brunch of bagels with cream cheese, fresh tomatoes, cucumber, and onion. Homemade beef jerky is also a fan favorite. Dinner was pasta with sausage and veggies. Having a proper galley on a race boat is a rare luxury that we are taking full advantage of.</p>
76. <p dir="ltr">Overnight, the high pressure finally swallowed us as anticipated. We actually made it about 4-5 hours further than we thought before it caught us. The team worked hard to change the mode of the boat, adjusting the sail stack, trim setups, and sail selection. We learned a ton and improved at managing these tricky conditions, but they are always tough mentally, especially when it’s so easy to check our competition in real time.</p>
77. <p dir="ltr">Worth noting here that the way the tracker works is that it takes a snapshot in time and extrapolates from that data so it is not super accurate. It also doesn’t take into account the weather across the course, only the boat’s geometry. Better for us to just sail our own race and let the scores work out at the finish.</p>
78. <p dir="ltr">By now we have also sailed 1000nm west, but onboard we have stayed on Pacific Standard Time so the number on the clock feels really different than the daylight on deck. I am currently typing at 10pm but its really only early evening out here.</p>
79. <p dir="ltr">At approximately 1400 the wind finally filled and we have started chugging down the track again. We are one of the few (maybe only?) day one starters to have stayed below the rumbline which is going to minimize our overall distance in the second half of the course. Our sail de jour this afternoon was the S-4 which is pretty versatile as long as the pressure stays up above 13-14 knots on our “specially calibrated ” instruments. CBTM for a bit here.</p>
80. <p dir="ltr"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-125435" src="https://i0.wp.com/sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-driving-300x225.jpg?resize=400%2C300&#038;ssl=1" sizes="auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" srcset="https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-driving-300x225.jpg 300w, https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-driving-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-driving-768x576.jpg 768w, https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-driving-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-driving-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-driving-800x600.jpg 800w, https://sailinganarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/uploads/2025/07/restless-driving-507x380.jpg 507w" alt="" width="400" height="300" />Dinner was black bean enchiladas, and for the first time the whole trip the entire entree was finished so maybe this meal is leading the onboard culinary competition. Chef Greg also caught another “rogue wave” (check the boat’s IG for more onboard footage and back story @cal40_restless) right down his back to the tramp stamp.</p>
81. <p dir="ltr">Evenings are still chilly and occasional rain showers persist. Some of the team is running low on fresh clothes, though the water tank is full and ready for mid race showers for us which should help the general smell onboard.</p>
82. <p dir="ltr">Overall, the boat is exceeding expectations for livability and comfort. Lots of opening ports and good air flow are a welcome change from the dark and wet bowels of modern race boats. Man, I’m sounding old…</p>
83. <p dir="ltr">Time to head up for some moonlight surfing on deck. Heim out.</p>

102. <p>July 5th, around ⅓ of the way to Hawaii on the fine yacht <em>Restless</em> ( brought to you by Driscoll’s Boatworks), Alli Bell’s classic Cal 40, which has recently undergone a complete refit. We have a great team onboard with everyone bringing unique skills and perspectives to the table. Alli Bell needs little introduction; she is currently Vice Commodore of the San Diego Yacht Club and Rear Commodore of the TPYC. 3rd gen transpac racer and childhood friend to all of us. Her husband Stephen Driscoll comes from a family with a long history in yacht racing, and he is our de facto boat captain as well.</p>
103. <p>When Alli and I discussed the <em>Restless</em> Transpac plan shortly after she bought the boat, I said I was only in if Stephen was coming. Graham Bell is Alli’s cousin whom she has sailed thousands of ocean miles with and our navigator for the race. His mellow demeanor hides a sharp mind and wit within. Chef onboard is Greg Reynolds who also happens to be a world-class helmsman, and his class clown nature means we are never taking any situation on without some humor. I round out the team.</p>
104. <p>We started July 1st in what was forecast to be the best start day. Yay! But the change this year to Forecast based ratings for overall aim to neutralize this advantage. Boo! Felt great to finally cast the dock lines and head out to the start. Speaking of starts, the RC postponed with about 40 seconds to go due to the pin drifting. We were all tee’d up for a nice win of the boat end. Our strategy was that we are a smaller/slower boat and wanted to minimize getting rolled on the long starboard tack to Catalina.</p>
105. <p>They reset the pin a bit more to weather but we stuck with the game plan and won the boat on the restart as well so boy to get pinched off by some of the faster more modern boats. Made the best of our lane and beelined for Parsons Landing near the West End then 4 tacks to clear the rock and we punch in next waypoint. Diamond Head buoy a bit over 2200 miles away. Kept the new AP #1 genoa up through the night slowly easing sheets and eventually settling on an outboard lead for night 1. Felt like a good escape compared to last race in 23’…</p>

198. <p>Strale (1967) by Antonio Bandini of the Circolo Velico Ravennate wins the Overall of the XII Principality of Monaco Trophy. The two scheduled races of the Trophy, promoted by AnnaLicia Balzan, Honorary Consul of the Principality of Monaco in Venice, took place on Saturday and Sunday with calm seas and a light breeze from the South-East.</p>
199. <p>Strale was built in wood in Ravenna by the Angelo Montanari shipyard and designed by Giuseppe Belardi. A boat that, despite its decidedly unusual shape (a small horse and an upside-down bow), has participated and won in both the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic Seas in numerous classic sailing regattas. Due to its long and narrow shape (13.47 meters x 2.70 meters), it is nicknamed ‘the Worm of Rimini’, but it has proven to be very fast and competitive.</p>

235. <p>Sail Wars dives into the fierce competition to win back the America’s Cup. This one-hour video follows the high-tech journey of Stars and Stripes ’87, the third and final yacht crafted by the Sail America team in their bold quest to dethrone Australia and bring the Cup home.</p>
236. <p><strong>From the transcript:</strong></p>
237. <p>This is a story of Sail America’s three-year effort to design a yacht capable of recapturing sailing’s greatest trophy. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at a major 12 Meter campaign, one that takes us to the highest levels of international sport and to the frontiers of science.</p>
238. <p>In early 1984 John Marshall was named coordinator of the Sail America design team we can do the best we can his job was to organize and manage an American design effort that would be technologically second to none.</p>
239. <p>“We decided that what we would have to do is put together a multidisciplinary team,” explained Marshall. “People from specifically the sailing environment professionals, in that area our three yacht designers, but also people whose expertise was much broader – theoreticians from a university background, practicing aeronautical engineers, people involved in military development, people from the ship hydrodynamics background – so that what we would have would be the best in the country in a wide range of skills that all could be brought to bear on this particular problem.”</p>

295. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The USCG tall ship <em>Eagle</em> is scheduled to arrive in San Francisco Bay on the morning of Wednesday, June 25. She will be coming under the Gate at around 8 a.m. and tying up around 10 a.m. at Piers 15/17 by the Exploratorium. The <em>Eagle</em> is heading south after visiting Portland and Astoria, OR. After her Bay Area stop she’ll continue her training mission by visiting our friendly neighbors to the north in Victoria, BC, before again turning south to make a stop in Seattle.</p>
296. <figure class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.latitude38.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/508384190_1160277559460626_1539932345490261434_n.jpg?resize=620%2C413&#038;ssl=1" alt="The USCG visiting Astoria, OR.

299. <p>The <em>Eagle</em> will be open for free public tours from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 28, and will depart the Bay on Sunday, June 29. After visiting Victoria, BC, and Seattle, the ship is due to return to the Bay on July 25. There will be more public tours on her second visit, with the schedule TBD. <em>Eagle</em> will leave the Bay again on July 28 and head south to arrive in Los Angeles on August 1.</p>
300. <p>The remaining West Coast tour schedule is here:</p>
301. <p>San Francisco – Wednesday, 25 June<br />
302. Victoria, BC, Canada – Monday, 7 July<br />
303. Seattle, Washington – Tuesday, 15 July<br />
304. San Francisco – Friday, 25 July<br />
305. Los Angeles – Friday, 1 August<br />
306. San Diego – Friday, 8 August<br />
307. San Diego – Friday, 15 August</p>
308. <p>The <em>Eagle</em> is a 295-ft, three-masted barque, and is the only active square-rigger in US government service. She is used as a United States Coast Guard officer-training vessel, with her crew of 120 cadets swapping out at various ports during the tour. She last visited the West Coast and San Francisco Bay in 2008.</p>

365. <p>The Ocean Race confirms the around‑the‑world yacht race will return to Brazil, with the fleet stopping April 2027 in Itajaí and again in 2031, in a two-edition hosting partnership. This will mark the fifth time the race has been in Itajaí and the 11th visit to Brazilian shores.</p>
366. <p>Itajaí first joined the global sailing stage in the 2011-12 edition of The Ocean Race, becoming the race’s sole South American stopover that year. The city welcomed the fleet again in 2014-15 and 2017-18, and most recently hosted the 2022-23 edition, making 2027 its fifth consecutive appearance on the race route.</p>
367. <p>“Itajaí is always a very welcome stopover for The Ocean Race and our sailors, not least because it usually comes after the longest leg at sea,” said Johan Salen, Director of The Ocean Race. “The passion the people in Itajaí have for the Race and the leadership the team in Itajaí has demonstrated in sustainable event excellence makes it a natural fit for a fifth consecutive stopover.”</p>
368. <p>It is expected the leg finishing in Itajaí will start in Auckland, New Zealand.</p>

370. Alicante, Spain (start)<br />
371. Auckland, New Zealand<br />

With Roy’s Volvo 70 <em>Pyewacket</em> fresh off a clean sweep in Antigua Race Week, the boat is now in transit to England for this years Fastnet Race, San Tropez Race Week, and the Rolex Maxi Worlds in Sardinia. Meanwhile, on the West Coast, Roy will be sailing his Andrews 68 <em>Pyewacket</em> in the 2025 Transpac.</p>

400. <p>There are probably more total Transpac miles on the <em>Pyewacket</em> crew than on any other boat. This will be Roy’s 26th Transpac, and as amazing as that might seem, watch captain Gary Weisman also has 26 Transpacs on his résumé. Next on the list are Ben Mitchell and Scott Easom with 21 each. Bowman Robbie Kane and navigator Peter Isler both have eight; Daryl Wislang, Brad Jackson, Tony Mutter and Torben Grael, four each. This doesn’t even take into account the combined 50-plus Pac Cups the team has done as well. The more difficult the conditions, the more this team’s experience shines.</p>

405. <p>All totaled it’s about 300,000 Transpac miles (or 12 circumnavigations) of racing to Hawaii by this crew. In 2019 their race was cut short when they stopped to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.latitude38.com/lectronic/boat-abandoned-in-transpac/" >rescue the crew of <em>OEX</em></a> after a rudder failure that caused the boat to sink. In 2021 they raced Disney’s modified Volvo 70 <em>Pyewacket</em> to a second in class, and in the 2023 Transpac they were back to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.latitude38.com/lectronic/transpac-racers-surfing-hawaii-finish/" >win their class</a> aboard the Andrews 68 <em>Pyewacket</em>.</p>

479. <p>As one of two new teams for Season Five, the Italy SailGP Team revealed it is funded by <a href="https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2025/05/27/muse-sport-led-group-buys-sailgps-italian-team/"  target="_blank" rel="noopener">a group of investors</a> organized by Muse Sport, the sports investing and advisory practice of early-stage VC firm Muse Capital. The consortium is led by Muse founding partner Assia Grazioli-Venier, Italian luxury brand entrepreneur Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo, and team CEO Jimmy Spithill.</p>
480. <p>The transaction, which valued the team at $45 million, also includes Hollywood flair. Academy Award winning actress Anne Hathaway is among the investors, while Passi de Preposulo is married to Academy Award-winning actress and producer Jessica Chastain.</p>
481. <p>“Anne brings both vision and values to the table. We hope her involvement encourages more people to look under the hood of this league and realize this is not our grandfather’s sailing,” <a href="https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/45338469/actress-anne-hathaway-investors-red-bull-italy-sailgp-team"  target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grazioli-Venier told ESPN</a>. “Her presence reflects the kind of team we’re building — one with heart, talent, and purpose.”</p>
482. <p>Muse Capital’s portfolio includes the Washington Spirit of the National Women’s Soccer League, Women’s Professional Baseball League, Sports Innovation Lab, and Just Women’s Sports. The acquisition marks the first women-led ownership group for the global racing championship.</p>
483. <p>The Italian-born Grazioli-Venier got her first taste of SailGP team ownership through the U.S. team, which she invested in several years ago as a minority partner.  While the latest transaction <a href="https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2025/05/27/muse-sport-led-group-buys-sailgps-italian-team/"  target="_blank" rel="noopener">closed in February</a>, the new owners have effectively been financing and operating the team since its on-water debut in November.</p>

2. Upload the image to your own server. (This step is important. Please do not link directly to the image on this server.)

3. Add this HTML to your page (change the image src attribute if necessary):
