Road to Tokyo 2020
Our series building up to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games begins with a look at the conditions we can expect on the waters off Enoshima. This month's featured class is the 470. We examine the favourites to win medals and focus on Australians Matt Belcher and Will Ryan as potential champions.
Rolex Sydney Hobart
The Rolex Sydney Hobart is a highlight of the sailing calendar but the 75th edition was particularly special with the largest fleet in many years. We tell the story of the race and hear from the winners.
Finn Gold Cup
More than 60 sailors from 22 nations came to Melbourne with the aim of becoming Finn World Champion and taking home the legendary Finn Gold Cup. In the crushing Australian heat one sailor won it for his country for the very first time in 63 years.
Cape2Rio race
The southern hemisphere's longest intercontinental yacht race got under way in the shadow of Table Mountain. The small boats and cruisers set off first on the 3,600 mile voyage. A week later the big boys were unleashed and records are expected to fall to one of the multihulls. We're on board Giovanni Soldini's Maserati Multi 70 as the Italian sets sail from Cape Town looking to break his own race record from 2014.
