SAIL GP Chicago - this June - Summer trip ???

[GreyGhost]

Ineos had a "fun" practice session. Stuffed it, capsized it, righted it, capsized the other way, turtle, fire. Boo. At least they saved it.

Excellent open ocean drone coverage near the ice line ...rare conditions to allow this

Hard to beleive these machines can be sailed solo.

For all you motor heads who do not grasp the power of the wind.
1200 HP dual hull chase boat that has been retired because it could not keep up.

Foil boards have made winsurfing in light wind condition far more enjoyable.
I have winsurfed in 110 kph winds.
In those conditions I don't think I want a foil board.

Coming up Chicago this weekend.

“With 10 boats on the racetrack, Season 4 is going to be turbo busy”

The addition of Germany to the SailGP fleet will result in a congested racetrack and even tighter racing, according to SailGP’s podcast

Round the World is finishing up ...last leg ...nasty crash ..

Onboard footage from the nail has been released. I haven't seen footage from the hammer. It was close. bow sprit went into the cabin between two crew members. It seems that better emergency procedures are warranted. They tried to notify the other team by yelling and flapping their arms. If they don't see your 60+ ft boat, you need at least an air horn to try to get their attention.
