Update, Day 4: both Irish boats hold steady in Gold fleet at the Olympic qualifier in Lanzarote. A dramatic opening day of Gold fleet racing saw Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove Team Dickson Waddilove 49er Ireland hold on to their third overall place in their quest to qualify Ireland for Tokyo 2021 with a third place followed by an impressive race win. In a repeat of Tuesday’s form, the pair were heading for a third top three result but were again disqualified for being fractionally over the line at the start. Ryan Seaton and Séafra Guilfoyle Out2Win Ryan & Séafra had a 13-11-14, and held onto 10th position. Ireland remains under threat from Italian boats in 12th, 15th and 16th places while Belgium hold 14th place. Thursdays’ Gold fleet series again features three races each day before a single fleet race on Friday to decide the top ten boats for the medal race final. “Gold fleet racing is full of swings and roundabouts and nothing can be taken as assured until the final race ends,” commented James O’Callaghan, Irish Sailing’s Performance Director. “As predicted at the start of the week, this series is going to go down to the wire on Friday.”

► Full report in Multihulls World N°201: https://www.multihulls-world.com/articles-catamaran-trimaran/cmc-race-and-rally-2025-the-fun-rendezvous-for-multihulls ► For its sixth edition, the CMC hasn’t set the record the number of participants, with 23 multihulls registered. On the other hand, the atmosphere both on and off the water has never been better. The trade winds, in fine form at between 20 and 25 knots, undoubtedly had something to do with it... The five entrants in CSA 1 enjoyed superb courses towards Saba, Saint-Barts and Anguilla. The HH66 Lee Overlay Partners (ex Nemo) put on a great show, impressively flying a hull and, above all, peak speeds pushing 30 knots. The Gunboat 72 Layla was not to be outdone, with her GPS recording a top speed of 24.5 knots. The La Grande-Motte shipyard's first flybridge catamaran won the overall race on corrected time. The Diam 24 fleet was of course severely tested by the choppy conditions, but there too, they put on quite a show. In this fury of spray and exciting runs, the crew of Anomaly came out on top, leaving their rivals with no chance of a rematch. For the past two years, the CMC has been running a second division called Rally. This year, the 9 participants were accompanied - and looked after - by our Marketing Director Gwen Dorning. The fleet headed to Phillipsburg, where beach games were organized on the first day, followed by a fireworks display in the bay, then headed for Anse Marcel and finally Saint-Barts - a dream program which is already scheduled for next year, with dates running from January 29 to February 1. ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!
