SAILING ILLUSTRATED #889 (Tue 2 Dec 2025) — After Saturday's horribly light conditions jumbled the fleet, on Sunday there was a better breeze — and much better racing. It was touch and go between AUS and ESP for the third slot in the finals, but Tom Slingsby's (AUS) Bonds Flying Roos prevailed, barely. The winner-take-all, three boat (AUS, GBR, NZL) final was entertaining, indeed exciting. We'll have a full recap, and analysis, of Emirates GBR's come-from-behind victory.

SAILING ILLUSTRATED #887 (Fri 28 Nov 2025) — Will GBR, NZL, AUS or ESP take home the $2million winner-take-all prize? Will the injury to Pete Burling's (NZL) hand keep him off the Black Foil's wheel? If so, who will drive? Will this week's signing of Harry "H4" Melges (USA) to Team USA improve their dismal Season Five performance — even if he does not sail this weekend?

SAILING ILLUSTRATED #879 (Fri 31 Oct 2025) — Someone's got bats in their belfry, and it's not AMERICAN MAGIC or ALINGHI.

We'll have the latest, including an extensive "one hears" including that the entry deadline of 31 October has been delayed until at least next Wed 5 Nov. AC38 is turning into one delay, and missed deadline, after another. Why are we not surprised!

As promised on last Friday's show #875, we will present SI's simple plan to rescue the America's Cup.
