For the last 2 years, Franco and Manuel have been sailing on some of the world’s most unusual waters (Lake Titicaca, Loch Ness etc) in order to raise awareness of global warming and highlight the association Ocean Foundation who campaigns for the protection of the world’s oceans. The name of this initiative: The Grand Tour Sailing. On June 10th, they arrived in the spectacular Disko Bay, 350km for the Arctic Circle. The outside temperature was around 5°C with the water temperature at a brisk 2°C. The wind was quite light but the currents were strong. To immortalize this unique moment they indulged in some nautical jousting between the icebergs in the company of the Italian skipper Elisabetta Maffei. The next step for TGT ? Venice !

Swiss skipper Sebastien Schnieter explains the other side of the situation. While there are plenty of collisions in SailGP, some of them pretty major, what strikes me about this one is how shaken both skippers are. Both seem to know but don't say, how much worse this collision could have been in just a metre or so. This is also perhaps the clearest evidence we've seen of the unspoken fear that sits within each and every crew member. It's fast, it's fun and it's at the very leading edge of the sport, but the risks are increasing all the time. PlanetSail Full review online now www.planetsail.co.uk
