Episode 3 of the XR 41 documentary series is now online. Titled "Chasing Gold at the ORC Worlds - Inside the X-Yachts Racing Team", this episode follows our racing team through an intense campaign at the 2025 ORC World Championship in Tallinn.

This is the moment we've been building toward from the very start—the ultimate goal we set out to achieve.

The film offers an 18-minute look inside the realities of professional offshore racing. With a videographer embedded throughout the event, what unfolds is more than competition: it's a story of pressure, preparation, and camaraderie - captured with rare proximity.

We're proud of the result. And proud, too, of the decision to let the camera stay on—even when the race was over.
