Adrenaline charged moments as Turn the Tide on Plastic passes inches from spectator boats just behind Hun Hung Kai / Scallywag less than two minutes after start. Turn the Tide on Plastic, one of seven teams in this edition of the Volvo Ocean Race, set sail from Alicante today for the start of the epic 45,000 nautical mile round-the-world race. After months of preparation, British skipper Dee Caffari lead her young crew out of Alicante, Spain on the beginning of what will undoubtedly be one of the biggest adventures of their lives. The start, consisting of a short in-shore circuit before heading offshore to Lisbon, was certainly no disappointment. Filled with action, drama and some of the most intense battles this race has seen at its start, this edition is showing all the signs that it could be the most exciting yet. Of course this is easily said when you’re flying out of Alicante bay in 16 knots of wind battling for third place against some of the best sailors in the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SailingNews TV is the N°1 yachting and sailing channel.

The Raiatea Regatta Association To organize a yearly sailing party in the Leeward Islands of French Polynesia: that was the dream, twelve years ago, of the newly born Raiatea Regatta Association. Since then, the “TPR” has become the biggest sailing and festive regatta of the Pacific islands and a truly international nautical event. Open to all, monohulls of multihulls, whatever their size, the ‘TPR’ is co-organised by the Tahitian Sailing Federation, the Raiatea Regatta Association and Archipelagoes and is governed by the 2013-2015 ISAF racing rules. __________________________________________________________________ SailingNews TV is the N°1 yachting and sailing channel.

A drone above the altantic. To undertake the crewed around-the-world record is as much about the human adventure as it is a technical and sporting challenge. The men and women working alongside Dona Bertarelli and Yann Guichard at Spindrift racing have been preparing this race against the clock for almost three years. The target: to sail around the world in less than 45 days, 13 hours and 42 minutes. The tough record they will try to beat was set by Loïck Peyron and his crew in 2012 on Banque Populaire V, which was renamed Spindrift 2 a year later. The French-Swiss team decided to use the same 40 m trimaran because they believed that the boat could be further optimised, a task that sailors, engineers and technicians at the team have been working on ever since. After countless hours of work at the boatyard and 40,000 nautical miles of racing and training, the Spindrift racing-prepared trimaran is all set to go. The team will officially go on stand-by on October 19th and wait for the ideal weather window.
