The passage across the Indian Ocean is when Idec Sport enjoyed a near-perfect run, and Sodebo could do nothing as they watched their lead reduced to under 200 nautical miles at times as they gybed to find the best winds, knowing that Joyon and his team back in 2016/17 covered the entire ocean on one gybe at incredible speed. Sodebo has though held the lead and set a new record to Cape Leeuwin of 17 days, 1 hour, and 17 minutes, over 5 and a half hours quicker than Idec’s time.

Welcome to this special English vrsion of the World on Water for November 04 2025. It is part 2 of our coverage of the Transat Cafe L'or a bi annual double handed race for the magnificent Ultims, the high flying Imocas, Ocean 50's trimarans and the Class 40's. They've been through the channel gale and now the fun begins as they jockey for positions. Even for the Class 40s which only restarted their TRANSAT CAFÉ L’OR race to Martinique on Saturday the intensity and pace is starting to tell, maybe especially in the IMOCA class where the leading trio are engaged in a close drag race in the trade winds. The ULTIM leaders, Tom Laperche and Franck Cammas on SVR Lazartigue have 160 nautical miles in hand with just less than 1600 miles to the finish line in Fort De France whilst the Ocean Fifty pack leaders, Man Le Roch, and Basile Bourgnon, on Edenred 5, seem unable to really make a decisive break. Meanwhile the Class40 leaders are very much watching to see their nearest rivals unfold their strategy, making choices which could likely shape the race. The ULTIMS are really into the final leg of their race, gybing down the South American exclusion zone to their west. On course to set a new record for victories on this race, five, Franck Cammas is ‘in the zone’ doing what he loves. In the Imocas After losing 20 or 30 miles when they hit the transition zone first, Jérémie Byou and Morgan Lagravière on Charal are back on track. The US flagged 11th Hour Racing have been quickest for periods early this morning and today, Francesca Clapcich, and Will Harris, pressing extra hard after being required to take a 30 minutes penalty for an inadvertent break of the seal on their liferaft. The Ocean 50's, With a little less than 1300 nautical miles to go to the finish line, have broken south of the rhumb line, the direct course. They have 35 miles of a cushion over Baptiste Hulin,, and Thomas Rouxel, (Viablis),,and should extend their lead as they get into the strong trade winds. The top six duos in the Class 40's are within six miles of each other as they take on a low pressure trough. S N S M Faites un Don, who were first into La Coruña, have a small lead in their most southerly position whilst Spanish duo Pep Costa and Pablo Santurde continue to prefer to be the most northerly on VSF Sports, there being some 35 miles of lateral separation.

This is your weekly Global Sailing Highlights show, the World on Water, for October 24th, 2025. First off, our appologies for running late this week, but the circumstances were well beyond our control. And as a prior notice, next week could also be effected. In the meantime the the TRANSAT CAFÉ L’OR Normandie Le Havre started and were then reated to muscular wind conditions and leaden skies as they made a fast start to what should be an express exit from the English Channel. On the first night Three Ocean 50s capsized, the Ultims powered ahead while vthe 18 Imocas battened down as the class 40s had a mandatory stop into La Coruña on the North West corner of Spain. Punishing conditions. The 46th edition of the Rolex Middle Sea Race is underway.

After the scarest moment in life, Eric Marsh aboard his yacht, Sunbear, finally arrives in Mauritius, and for the first time, he opens up about his terrifying man- overboard experience. It’s the kind of moment every sailor dreads, and Eric’s raw story captures the real danger, courage, and determination behind the Mini Globe Race 2025. We thank Christine Turner who was on the dock in Mauritius for capturing this special moment! Monohull line honours has been decided at the 2025 Rolex Middle Sea Race. Crossing the finish line in Marsamxett Harbour, Malta, at 05:44:07 CEST, Black Jack 100 took the title in an elapsed time of 2 days, 17 hours, 44 minutes and 7 seconds. Success for the 100-foot Maxi yacht, skippered by Tristan Le Brun and owned by Remon Vos, was highly coveted. Last year, Black Jack 100 had to settle for second on the water after a thrilling duel with Scallywag 100. The two yachts met again in July at the Rolex Fastnet Race, where this time Black Jack 100 claimed line honours, turning the tables on her rival. This week, eighteen double-handed crews will depart from Le Havre to embark on the Transat Café l’OR, a storied transatlantic race that has traced this oceanic course since 1993. Covering 4,350 nautical miles, from the English Channel down into tropical trade winds, their destination is Fort-de-France, Martinique.

This is your weekly Global Sailing Highlights show, the World on Water, for October 17th, 2025. It was an unfortunate opening to the Australian 18 Footers League's 2025-26 summer season when strong westerly winds, gusting to more than 30 knots, forced the club to abandon Race 1 of the Sixth Spring 18ft skiff Championship on Sydney Harbour. Eleven of the fourteen teams entered for the race attempted to reach the start in the dreadful conditions that prevailed and only three were able to cross the start line after a 30 minutes delay. After being becalmed on Monday, Jasmine Harrison’s week in the Mini Globe Race turned into pure endurance at sea. A long, sleepless night brought relentless squalls, freezing cold, and then, disaster, her Hydrovane self-steering broke. To make it worse, Starlink went down for 48 hours, cutting her off from weather updates and the outside world.

The Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup is synonymous with excellence and ranks among the most impressive events on the yachting calendar. Organized by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in collaboration with the International Maxi Association, it offers crews a spectacular race setting in the emerald waters of north-east Sardinia, with varied conditions and testing courses.

The fantastic Lorient-La Base was once again buzzing with excitement for the Défi Azimut. Now in its 15th year, the event brings together 12 pairs of skippers on their Imoca foiling 60 footers for what was to be another intense, festive and friendly week. Ray Davies of Emirates Team New Zealand recently made a vibrant stop in Naples, Italy, ahead of the upcoming Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup, and was left in awe: of both the city and its sailing conditions. “This is Naples. It’s unreal!” said Davies. “From what I’ve seen in just two days, it’s absolutely sensational.” Having competed in Naples during the America’s Cup World Series events in 2012 and 2013, Davies returns with fresh eyes, now envisioning the AC75s racing across the iconic Bay of Naples. Thomas de Dinechin's mast broke during the 56th edition of La Solitaire du Figaro Paprec in September 2025. De Dinechin was sailing aboard the boat, Almond for Pure Océan, when the dismasting occurred. From roll-out at dawn to dock-in at sunset, here is a full day at the Cagliari Base lived through the team’s eyes. The fleet leaves the dock for the sailing session while design team and shore team monitor every detail, from onboard systems to radio communications. The conditions for the day were similar to Tuesday but with a forecast of strong southerly winds arriving mid-afternoon, so expectations were for one or two races. After a timing error from New Moon, Otto made the best of the start of Race 3 and led uop the first neat and down the run. However, they picked the inshore gate mark while New Moon rounded the offshore gate into the slowly shifting breeze. New Moon took advantage and took the lead to win from Otto with Enez C'las II a solid third. Week 6–8 of the Mini Globe Race 2025 brings a mix of paradise, emotions, and new beginnings. After thousands of miles across the Indian Ocean, skippers reach the stunning Cocos-Keeling Islands — white sands, turquoise waters, and a brief taste of heaven before the challenge continues. But even in paradise, homesickness creeps in… and sometimes a new haircut means a fresh start!

To start with following two days of intense competition on the Sea of Marmara, the 24th Bosphorus Cup concluded with the race on the Bosphorus Strait. The busy waterway is closed once a year to allow this impressive contest to take place, and as usual a sumptuous spectacle was laid on for both competitors and spectators. Racing in a 15 knot northerly winds, and starting from Kuruçeşme, the 55 boat fleet contested a looped course that went as far north as Anadolu Hiasari, and the impressive F S M Bridge, and south to Beşiktaş, with the finish line near Beşiktaş. Hugo Cardon on his Figaro 3, Sarth'Atlantique, won the second leg of La Solitaire du Figaro Paprec. This young rookie managed to cover the distance in 4 days 2 hours 14 minutes and 29 seconds.

"Fun", "intense", "fantastic", "tortuous", "demanding"... there was certainly no shortage of adjectives to describe the 48 H and its 'Figaro leg' vibes. Tougher than ever, this 14th Défi Azimut-Lorient Agglomération required the skippers to dig incredibly deep to hold rank. After a much needed stopover in Puerto Sherry, the Clipper Race fleet is back at sea! The teams set off on the YCPE Cup, to Punta del Este 🇺🇾. This stage brings the second half of the Atlantic Trade Winds - a test of tactics, patience, and teamwork. From navigating the Canaries to the unpredictable doldrums near the equator, crews will face wind holes, squalls, and soaring heat. Crossing the equator will be a huge milestone, marked by the legendary King Neptune ceremony - a rite of passage for every sailor.
