Two big launches at opposite ends of the world. On top, the 32m Ultim trimaran Gitana 18 headed out from her base in Lorient on the west coast of France for her maiden sail. Down under the Kiwis slipped their dock lines in Auckland to take their newly reconfigured AC75 out for its first sail. Both are big steps forward, both were carefully choreographed affairs and both represent the first steps in two new generations at the very leading edge of the sport.

About a year ago, I met Erion in the heart of Athens when he recognized me from my channel and approached me to express his gratitude for the help I had given him. At the time, he was a talented street artist, creating stunning wall clocks from discarded vinyl records. He was also just beginning his journey as a skipper, dreaming of one day owning his own boat. A year later, we crossed paths again in the same spot. This time, he brought me two meaningful gifts: a custom wall clock featuring my signature logo, as shown in the photo, and the exciting news of his progress as a navigator. God bless you, my friend. I can’t wait to set sail with you in the new year!🕛🎊
