Sydney Harbour Marathon - Reviving a classic
It can be said that sailing's diversity of classes is both a strength and a weakness. For some it means that whatever type of boat they want, there's going to a perfect match out there; for others, it dilutes one design fleets.

What boat do you sail on?
It's a fairly common question. Place a couple of yachties together at a bar, regatta, or the waterfront, and soon enough it will get asked as they try to determine what kind of sailor they are spending time with.

Following the upwind test for the E6, the downwind proves just as impressive.
The Next Generation
What's going to come out of a shed in Lorient? That's a question that's almost constantly being asked as the latest IMOCA builds are revealed. The class is always innovating, always changing, and always pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

For the best, it's not enough to excel once in a while. Exceptional sailors all understand the value of consistency and striving to elevate their performance time and time again.
Anything but ordinary
235 days at sea is a long, long time on any boat. Couple that with being alone, sailing non-stop around the world, via the five Great Capes, without any outside assistance, and you have what has to be one of the greatest challenges available in sailing.
