Flying most of the time rather than just when conditions are right. Achieving this is hard and no one has yet succeeded. But Team Gitana believe they have the answer.

Her team believe so and given their track record there's good reason to believe them

The Mubadala SailGP Abu Dhabi was a profitable one for Emirates Great Britain as the team came away with $2,400,000 after winning the grand final and the 2025 season. And while success in SailGP is all about the team, Dylan Fletcher has been at the wheel for the entire season and in a very good position to explain how they did it, so we gave him a call to find out what lay behind their consistent performance and ultimate success.

Four teams could make it to the $2million final race ...but there were only three places

He's back, Phil Robertson is with the Italians and he didn't mind stirring things up at the press conference. Plus, there was new kit too for teams to get used to.

There were $2million up for grabs in the final race of the SailGP Season 5 Final in AbuDhabi and four teams that were equally capable of taking it. But there was plenty more at stake over the 2 days racing. See the PlanetSail review

The recent Offshore Double Handed Worlds run out of Cowes and organised by the Royal Ocean Racing Club suggests that this could be a successful format for the future. But the event also provided guide lines for a new way of holding keel boat racing in the future. Given the widespread concerns about the ever spiralling costs of 'big boat' racing and how future generations will be able to afford it, the Offshore Double Handed Worlds provided some interesting ideas.

They might have races for over 20 days and 3,200 miles but when it came to the finish there were plenty of stopwatches out

The largest fleet but the smallest boats, the Class 40s had the toughest race in the Transat Cafe L'Or

Originally designed to blast around the world non-stop and solo every fours years, the IMOCA scene and its racing calendar has exploded to the point that there is almost too much choice for teams. But this year something else was bubbling beneath. New designs for the next Vendée cycle are starting to appear and along with them, new names on the leaderboard. So, we take a look at how this race played out for the IMOCA fleet as they wrestled with the tactics and what the top dogs thought about it once they had reached the other side. here's the trailer.

In less than a fortnight both the multihull classes had completed the extended race across the Atlantic. The Ultims had been down to the equator before heading back up to the finish in Martinique while the Ocean Fifties had turned west at Cape Verde. Two classes and on the face of it two different types of competition where one seemed to deliver a dominant walk in the park, the other a full on transatlantic fist fight with boats barely out of sight of each other. Yet behind the scenes both were intense, relentless races that took teams to the edge.

From Atlantic gales that swept through the fleets, to weather forecasts that threatened to cause havoc, the start of the 2025 Transat Cafe L'Or was a challenging one for organisers and competitors alike. Despite threading their way through the heavy duty Autumn Atlantic conditions by amending courses and setting a mandatory pit stop for the Class 40s, all four fleets were working hard to negotiate conditions at both ends of the scale. So, while this Transatlantic double handed-classic is well known for being a tough one, this year the stress just kept coming. We take a look at how the first 8 days of racing played out across the fleets.
