I’m on scene now for the 33rd AC! Check Sailing Anarchy for the latest. The crew is working hard at the moment on interviews, including the PRO, Harold Bennett.

Continuing my relationship with Sailing Anarchy, I’m traveling back to Valencia to team up with Clean, Mer and Genny Tulloch for complete coverage of the America’s Cup! Even though I’m a multihull specialist, I’ve always been an America’s Cup fan. This is the pinnacle of the sport, and now it is being raced with two [...]

Life was crazy during the 50 hour delivery of the fast carbon cruiser from St. Tropez to Valencia. The katabatic winds driven down from the Pyrenees and Alps gave us very strong Force 7-8 winds at night, which made our one man watches pretty tough. We did wait three days for a weather window to [...]

I’m finally sitting down, albiet for a few minutes before we push off the dock on the SIG 45 catamaran in St. Tropez. This silver ship is destined for Valencia for the start of the 33rd America’s Cup. We have had some weather issues with the GRIB and weather files showing 35-50 knots on the [...]

Well, almost. Here is a nice shot of an ORMA 60 tri looking quite on the edge. I’m proud of Mr. Bourgnon for more than just sailing!

Again I’m searching for warm memories and sun behind the sails.
In my top three favorite races is the Steeplechase. The race starts on the west side of Key Largo, Florida. The first part of the 50+ mile first day goes north under the Card Sound Bridge, then through Angelfish Creek with a ton of [...]

The water is frozen over so no sailing. The land is as flat as Florida so no snowboarding. How the hell do the natives stay entertained then?…..Flowboarding! Here is a vid the Hobie crew shot and I edited it up a bit. I think I kept the good parts, haha. We’re planning to go in [...]

Here is a pic from Sail Innovation of the Capricorn they’ve been testing. In this particular pic, the rocker presenation is really visible. You can’t tell in this pic, but the hulls are quite a bit wider too, so there is quite a bit more bouyancy and stability in the new design. There is also [...]

I must admit, I’m not very handy in the cold. I don’t like to wake up in the morning to run to the shower. Of course, then i don’t like to get out of the shower. I do know one thing: I now know why the Dutch get so excited about summer! Sorry about pic [...]

This is a vid of Oscar and Karel having some fun before the lakes froze over….Really good transitions. This is how you gybe. Stick around to the end for a small surprise.
