SAILING ILLUSTRATED #861 (Fri 29 Aug 2025) — With the start of the RC44 World Championship Thursday off Scheveningen (NED), the Netherlands lived up to its reputation for being able to offer four seasons in one day. The start of racing was first delayed by an hour waiting for the wind to fill in. Out on the water a massive rain cloud descended on the fleet providing everyone with a thorough soaking. Then, in its aftermath, came wind, sun and the first race. We'll have the latest, and much more.
