  51. <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>
  52. <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>

  88. <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>
  89. <p><strong>From the transcript:</strong></p>
  90. <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>
  91. <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>
  92. <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>

  148. <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>
  149. <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.

She’s now headed this way.</p>

  151. </figcaption></figure>
  152. <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>
  153. <p>The remaining West Coast tour schedule is here:</p>
  154. <p>San Francisco – Wednesday, 25 June<br />
  155. Victoria, BC, Canada – Monday, 7 July<br />
  156. Seattle, Washington – Tuesday, 15 July<br />
  157. San Francisco – Friday, 25 July<br />
  158. Los Angeles – Friday, 1 August<br />
  159. San Diego – Friday, 8 August<br />
  160. San Diego – Friday, 15 August</p>
  161. <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>
  162. <p>You can track the <em>Eagle’s</em> <a href="https://www.cruisingearth.com/ship-tracker/united-states-coast-guard/cgc-eagle/"  target="_blank" rel="noopener">approach to the Bay here</a>.</p>

  218. <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>
  219. <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>
  220. <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>
  221. <p>It is expected the leg finishing in Itajaí will start in Auckland, New Zealand.</p>
  222. <p><strong>Confirmed course ports*</strong><br />
  223. Alicante, Spain (start)<br />
  224. Auckland, New Zealand<br />
  225. Itajaí, Brazil<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>

  253. <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>

  258. <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>
  259. <p>If you’re looking to find a boat that knows the way to Hawaii, keep an eye on <em>Pyewacket</em>. (Listen to a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.latitude38.com/lectronic/podcast/episode-19-roy-p-disney-favorite-races-sailing-idols/" >podcast with Roy Disney here</a>.)</p>

  332. <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>
  333. <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>
  334. <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>
  335. <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>
  336. <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>

  431. <p>Conditions were fairly mellow but consistent this year. For our noon start in the Maxi class, we had overcast skies, which slowly burned off to a late afternoon sun and a spectacular sunset. Winds for the majority of the race were 8-12 knots. The top teams all navigated slightly east of rhumb line this year for best routing. We sailed within 2–3 miles of Mission Bay and Point Loma, and the sunset inside the Coronado Islands was spectacular.</p>

  435. <p>Our main competitors <em>Zephyrus</em> (R/P 77) and <em>Fast Exit II</em> (Ker 52) did a great job in the reaching conditions. At 9 p.m. in the darkness south of Rosarito, they had extended to a 5–7-mile lead on us. We were in a strong third for line honors with a half-dozen boats within five miles of our transom.</p>

  439. <p>Just as our navigator Sylvian Barrielle predicted, we were lifted at 10 p.m., jibed onto the port-tack header, and lined up perfectly for the finish line 21 miles away. <em>Zephyrus</em> and <em>Fast Exit</em> barely slowed down on final approach to Ensenada, and both finished around midnight–12:30 a.m. The nighttime wind gods (unsurprisingly) wouldn’t let us pass through so smoothly. We had a few starts and stops inside the last 10 miles to finish third on line honors at 3:05 a.m.</p>

  443. <p>Quick high-fives and cleanup followed, and then it was a skeleton shift on deck as we motorsailed right back to San Diego. An early Saturday afternoon lunch at SDYC was welcomed as we debriefed the race and discussed further improvements for the <em>Favonius 2</em> crew and yacht. Our next race is the SoCal 300 at the end of May.</p>

  505. <p>Yachting World has been asking top sailors and marine industry gurus to choose the coolest and most innovative yachts of our times, and match racing world champion Ian Williams nominated the M32 Catamaran. <a href="https://www.yachtingworld.com/yachts-and-gear/coolest-yachts-the-m32-catamaran-157685"  target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Here’s the report</a>:</p>
  506. <hr align="left" width="30%" />
  507. <p>As a match racer, Ian Williams frequently jumps into different classes of boats, but the Marström-designed M32 Catamaran is his pick. “What I love about the M32 is the simplicity of design allowing for such a light weight boat (550kg all up) which makes for a number of sailing and practical benefits.</p>
  508. <p>“The boat can be towed behind a normal car, and rigged and launched from a slipway in a few hours.</p>
  509. <p>“On the water, the boat is incredibly responsive, flying a hull in as little as four knots of wind. The C-boards and relatively full bows mean they are also controllable in strong winds, but if you do capsize they are quite straightforward to right with a medium sized RIB, usually with no damage.”</p>
  510. <p>The M32 Catamaran has a rotating rig and hiking racks. “With only two sails, rigging is very quick, and the job list is usually very short. Combined with getting around the race course at high speed means you can step off the boat about four hours after stepping on, having completed five races. Top speed is about 28 knots in perfect conditions, but the boat regularly sails downwind at 23 knots.”</p>
  511. <p><strong>M32 Catamaran stats rating</strong><br />
  512. Top speed: 28 knots<br />
  513. LOA: 9.68m/31ft 9in<br />
  514. Launched: 2011<br />
  515. Berths: 0<br />
  516. Price: $250,000<br />
  517. Adrenalin factor: 85%</p>

  556. On a ship in the Navy, Hail and Farewell parties blend the arrival of a new member of the wardroom with a send-off for a departing shipmate. In the Racing Rules of Sailng 2025-2028, an improper “hail” could result in an untimely “farewell” from the protest room.</p>
  557. <p>The current rules address Hailing as follows:</p>
  558. <p><strong>20.1 Hailing</strong><br />
  559. A boat may hail for <em><strong>room</strong> </em>to tack and avoid a boat on the same tack by hailing ‘Room to tack.’ However, she shall not hail unless:</p>
  560. <p>• She is approaching an <em><strong>obstruction</strong> </em>and will soon need to make a substantial course change to avoid it safely, and<br />
  561. • She is sailing close-hauled or above.</p>
  562. <p>In addition, she shall not hail if the <em><strong>obstruction</strong> </em>is a mark and a boat that is <em><strong>fetching</strong> </em>it would be required to change course as a result of the hail.</p>
  563. <p>Intertwined in this rule are a number of subtle points that most sailors “reading through the rules” quickly may miss. Let’s consider hailing at an <em><strong>obstruction</strong></em>. – <a href="https://www.uksailmakers.com/2025/04/25/hail-and-farewell/"  target="_blank" rel="noopener">Full report</a></p>

I mean, come on — that’s just a badass shot. Winger mid-carve, massive swell, moody lighting — you can almost hear the wind, and feel the harsh light and spray. Then I noticed the credit: Jacob Rosenberg. Wait, <em>that</em> Jacob? The co-founder and president of Tajima Direct — one of our favorite advertisers and makers of the best lens technology on the planet?!!</p>
  581. <p>Turns out, yeah. Jacob’s not just building the sailor’s favorite lens tech — the guy absolutely charges on the water, too. I sent him a note to ask about the shot. His answer:</p>
  582. <p>“Just another day in the office testing lenses. I was actually wearing a new pair of Tajima prescription polarized lenses I made for myself. It was one of the biggest days we’ve seen in a while … solid 10 to 15 foot breaking faces under the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. I was out with a couple of buddies riding huge waves and testing lenses. Bryan McDonald and Grace Towle just happened to be there with the camera and perfect boat positioning — one of those perfect timing situations for all of us.”</p>
  583. <p>Jacob and his Crissy Field wing crew are wrapping up wave season and switching back into race mode for the 2nd Annual US Wing Foil Nationals hosted by St. Francis YC this June. Jacob’s a serious contender — he took 3rd last year — and Tajima Direct is stepping up as a sponsor in support of the event. You can check out his write-up from last year’s Nationals <a target="_blank" href="https://tajima-direct.com/blogs/news/why-speed-smarts-mattered-at-the-us-wing-foil-championship"  data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://tajima-direct.com/blogs/news/why-speed-smarts-mattered-at-the-us-wing-foil-championship&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1745616623292000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3Y6Z3WZqEXbsmmpgke5iDs">right here</a>.</p>
