This is the World on Water 2025 Rolex Fastnet Race special for August first. Spectators in their thousands swarmed Cowes Green and the shores of the western Solent to witness the starts of the 51st Rolex Fastnet Race. This year’s event marks the centenary of the first Fastnet Race that saw seven boats set sail from Ryde and finish in Plymouth in 1925. Fittingly the start saw a new record entry of 444 competitors, up from the previous largest of 430 in 2023, confirming the event as the world’s largest offshore race. With Cowes and the Solent overcast thanks to an occluded front, the starts took place beneath an overcast sky in a 10-12 knot southwesterly and a building ebb tide.  Our report starts with a race preview and then the race start. As dawn was showing its first rays off Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, so the sleek light blue triple-hulled form of the Ultim trimaran SVR Lazartigue sped across the finish line of the 51st Rolex Fastnet Race to collect overall line honours. Given this year’s relatively light winds, her time of 1 day 17 hours 18 minutes 4 seconds was well outside the 1 day 8 hours 38 minutes 27 seconds record time she set in 2023’s gale-force conditions. Skipper Tom Laperche commented: “The race was different, more strategic and tactical. The windiest part was 20 knots, whereas last year it was 35. Versus Banque Populaire, early on we made a good decision to go close into the English coast and managed to cross them coming back on starboard. We got in front. It was difficult returning from Fastnet to Scilly, because the wind was stronger behind, so they reduced their deficit. Since yesterday afternoon we knew that it will be tactical between the gybes when they have a good speed.” While little known outside of France, the Ocean Fiftys (ex-Multi 50s) are a trimaran class on the ascent with nine boats competing in the centennial Rolex Fastnet Race, as part of their annual calendar. Despite being a speedy box rule class they enjoyed some of the closest racing across the fleet. Highly surprising was just how competitive the doublehanded Ocean Fiftys demonstrated themselves to be in the Rolex Fastnet Race, with the leader reaching the Fastnet Rock on the transom of the MOD70 Argo and even the Ultims not fully shaking them off until they had passed Plymouth.  Exiting the Solent, Matthieu Perraut, and Jean-Baptiste Gellée, on the Neyhousser-designed Inter Invest led Erwan le Roux, and Audrey Ogereau, on the VPLP-penned Koesio out of the Solent alongside Banque Populaire, the mighty Ultim literally twice their length. That evening they passed Portland Bill, hanging on to the coattails of Actual Ultim 4, with Koesio now out in front heading deep into Lyme Bay. Inter Invest timed their tack back out of Lyme Bay better than the others, overtaking Koesio, but the whole class remained tightly grouped.  The French sailor Elodie Bonafous’ spectacular start to her career in the IMOCA Class continued today as she followed up second place in the Course des Caps earlier this month with her first victory in the Class in the Rolex Fastnet Race. Racing with French veteran Yann Eliès, alongside Basile Bourgnon and Gaston Morvan of France, Bonafous, 29, reached the finish line off Cherbourg in the early hours of the morning just eight minutes ahead of second-placed Jérémie Beyou and his team on Charal. Bonafous’ crew on board Association Petits Princes-Quéguiner had taken two days, 14 hours and 7 minutes to complete the highly technical 695-nautical mile classic course from Cowes on the English south coast to Cherbourg, via the Fastnet Rock off the southwest tip of Ireland. This year’s course was mainly upwind to the Rock and then downwind on the way back, as the six IMOCAs that completed the race sparkled close to the front of a Fastnet fleet of 444 boats.' Another heavyweight is currently prevailing in IRC One. In a truly impressive performance, the team on Australian Linda Goddard's Swan 53 cruiser Bedouin continues to hang on to first place in IRC One, ahead of several class favourites. These include past overall Rolex Fastnet Race winner Géry Trentesaux’s Sydney 43 GTS Long Courrier, who this year has been leading the RORC Season’s Points Championship, and Ed Bell and the Mark Spearman-led crew on the JPK 1180 Dawn Treader. Skippered by Linda Goddard, the Swan 53, Bedouin, representing Australia, has taken the top spot in IRC One, outperforming a highly competitive fleet in the 50–60 foot range. Racing with her daughters and close crew, Goddard’s campaign combined Corinthian spirit with impressive offshore performance to deliver a memorable class win in the centenary edition of the race. It was a truly impressive performance, for the team on Australian Linda Goddard's, Swan 53, cruiser, Bedouin.

Welcome to this special Admiral's Cup edition of our weekly Global Sailing Highlights Show, The World on Water, July 25 2025. The Admiral's Cup is back for 2025 and it will be held biennially by the Royal Ocean Racing Club. Established in 1957, The Admiral's Cup is honoured throughout the world of sailing as the unofficial world cup for offshore racing. Teams from Great Britain have been the most successful, winning the trophy on nine occasions. Germany has won four times, USA and Australia three times each, with Australia being the holders of this prized trophy. Victories have been achieved for France, Italy, the Netherlands and New Zealand. First off, we have the preview of what is taking place. Then there's highlights of the Channel Race and Day One of competition. In France Team Actual are building a new, huge, Trimaran to take on the world's best. Here is the design and launching of the beast. “This race is live” — and with that, the 2025 Wasp Games were officially underway. With 247 sailors across four fleets, Portland Harbour and Weymouth Bay were transformed into a theatre of foiling. Sailors launched as the breeze filled in from the west packed with a punch at 18 knots and steadily built to 23 knots as the racing went on with gusts up to 29 knots. The 2025 Moth World Championship has officially come to an end on the waters of Lake Garda, closing a week of exceptional technical and sporting level hosted by Fraglia Vela Malcesine. The event brought together 137 top-tier sailors from 25 nations, including Olympic champions, America's Cup helmsmen, and SailGP stars, a truly unprecedented concentration of talent and competition in the Moth class. The wind was lighter than usual, holding at around 12 knots at the start and gradually dropping throughout the morning. In today's first, and ultimately only, race, Australia's Tom Slingsby took the win, followed by New Zealand's Jacob Pye and fellow Aussie Iain Jensen.

The RORC Cowes Offshore Racing Series is designed for corinthian international teams, racing in boats of all shapes and sizes. Seven races all starting from Cowes with the Cowes Dinard St Malo Race bring the fifth with over 170 teams taking part.

After the successful editions of 2017 and 2021, the Moth World Championship comes back to Malcesine to break new records! The 2025 Moth World Championship officially kicked off on the waters of Lake Garda, hosted by Fraglia Vela Malcesine. A total of 137 sailors representing 25 nations faced the first day of racing in conditions that were anything but typical for Malcesine, with unstable weather creating a complex, yet exciting, opening. With an outstanding line-up featuring some of the biggest names in international sailing, the first day delivered a thrilling—albeit partial—debut An incredible finish to a monumental race. After nearly four days at sea, the first monohulls have crossed the line, with the duel between AIOLOS and Daguet 5 coming down to the wire. The two boats battled through everything from dead calms to 50-knot gales. In a stunning display of seamanship, Daguet 5 suffered a broken wind instrument in the final, brutal Meltemi blast but continued to fight, finishing just 11 minutes behind the larger Aiolos. See the exhausted smiles and hear from the crews who pushed themselves and their boats to the absolute limit. The third day of racing at the 2025 Moth World Championship on Lake Garda was another start-stop affair. The first blue fleet race was sailed in a brisk 22–25 knots, while the second saw slightly lighter conditions around 18 knots, but the wind dropped again, and at 5 P M, A P over A was displayed for both fleets, postponing further racing. Having departed from Venice on June 1, after 43 days of sailing, the 5th edition of the Marina Militare Nastro Rosa Tour, (Sailing Tour of Italy), concluded in Genoa in the magnificent setting of the Palazzo Ducale. We look back at this years tour. Day four of the 2025 Moth World Championship opened at dawn with another early start for the 137 athletes from 25 nations competing on Lake Garda. The first warning signal was scheduled for 8:30 a.m., and the early morning brought a solid northerly breeze, ideal for completing the final two qualifying races before the split into Gold and Silver fleets.

July 7th, early afternoon, the fleet leaders reached the entrance to the caldera at Santorini. The caldera’s shifting breeze rose and fell, dividing the fleet once more and the fight continues toward the second half of this challenging edition of the race.

The Kieler Woche opened under bright skies and summer-like Mediterranean conditions, welcoming more than 4,000 sailors across 1,500 boats for the start of one of the world's biggest regattas. While light and shifty winds delayed the start of racing into the afternoon, the competition in the Olympic classes as part of the Sailing Gran Slam competition was fierce from the first signal – especially in the high-speed Women’s Skiff (49erFX) class. Eleven teams crossed the start line on June 18 for the Transatlantic Race 2025, leaving Newport, RI for the 3000nm course to the finish off Cowes, England. The second day of Olympic class racing at Kieler Woche brought more bright summer weather and light, tactical conditions on the Kiel Fjord. In the 49er Men’s Skiff class, both the Yellow and Blue groups completed four races in around 7 to 9 knots of wind, wrapping up the qualification series ahead of the final rounds beginning tomorrow. The 2025 Finn World Masters has been an exceptional event in all aspects, from the competition, race management, onshore socials, partners programme but most of all for the weather. The 2008 Finn World Masters was also held in Medemblik and also had exceptional weather, so perhaps Finn Masters are just exceptionally lucky. For sure everyone in Medemblik this week felt lucky and privileged to be there. The atmosphere was just incredible. Please help us by Subscribing to this Global Sailing Highlights show. The curtain has closed on an unforgettable week in Porto Cervo as the 2025 Swan One Design Worlds wrapped up in true Mediterranean style. The final day brought a light north breeze around 11 knots, gradually decreasing through the afternoon. Two races were completed across all classes, fulfilling the full race programme—eight races for the ClubSwan 50, 42, and 36 fleets, and ten races for the ClubSwan 28s, competing in their inaugural Gold Cup. Six days into the race, Christian Zugel’s Volvo 70 Tschüss 2, co-skippered by Johnny Mordaunt, has raced over 2,000 miles and is the clear leader for both Monohull Line Honors and the overall IRC win. “For the first few days of the race, we had a variety of conditions, mainly driven by sea temperature changes. The plan is panning out—but everybody sticks to the plan until it punches you in the face,” commented Tschüss 2 navigator Campbell Field, taking nothing for granted. A standout feature of their progress has been precision navigation through the Gulf Stream’s meanders. “We picked up over three knots of current in one area and nearly four in another,” explains Field. “Sea temperature has been a big indicator—we saw it drop from 25°C to just under 8°C in a matter of hours.” The 2025 5.5 Metre World Championship was finally won on the last race by The Jean Genie, skippered by Peter Morton, along with crew Andrew Palfrey, Ruairidh Scott. For Morton it was the culmination of five years’ work and, along with Scott, their first world title in the class, while for Palfrey it was his third world title. The owners, captains and crews of the spectacular array of yachts gathered for the 29th edition of the Superyacht Cup Palma are making their final preparations ahead of the start of racing. With the regatta's new home base in the prestigious Club de Mar-Mallorca, the race crews aboard the 11 yachts entered are now able to size-up the competition in their respective classes — which have just been announced — at Europe's longest running superyacht festival of sail.

With long waits before races, the duo showed they’ve mastered the "on-off" switch, staying mentally fresh until it was time to perform, and perform they did. It was the Guardia di Finanza team that won this first stage of the 5th edition of the Marina Militare Nastro Rosa Tour, followed by the Marina Militare team and the Goztepe Yelken team from Turkey that won third place.For the Waswzp category, the victory went to the Marina Militare team, followed respectively by the Royal Madras team, and the Ocean Cruising team that closed the podium.

In 2025, Antigua Sailing Week was attended by two top end offshore racing yachts from very different times. Launched in 1974, the 79 foot Kialoa 3 was all conquering on the world stage for many years. Today Pyewacket 70, a modified Volvo 70, is one of the fastest 70 footers around. In this film we compare these two legends from different times. In an ironic twist, Ben Mitchell who currently races onboard Pyewacket, also used to race on Kialoa III , 50 years ago - including during the 1975 Sydney Hobart race where K3 set a record that stood for 21 years.

According to the Chinese lunar calendar, today marks the 15th day of the fourth month — a period known for the strongest tidal currents of the month. Low tide occurred at 10:35, and the current remained flooding throughout the racing window, peaking at high tide at 16:20. Making what proved to be the decisive winning move on the final run of the second and final race today, Britain’s Tony Langley and his world champion crew, secured overall victory at the first regatta of the five event 2025 52 SUPER SERIES season, the 52 SUPER SERIES Saint Tropez Sailing Week. Light winds and calms meant only four races could be sailed of the 10 planned, Gladiator winning by one single point ahead of Takashi Okura’s Sled. The first stop of The Nations League 2025 brought the ClubSwan Racing One Design circuit to the stunning port of Bonifacio, Corsica — and it delivered in every way. Over four days, 31 boats across four competitive classes — ClubSwan 50, 42, 36, and the newly launched 28, raced in near-perfect conditions, with consistent breeze, sunshine, and a vibrant regatta village at the heart of the experience.
