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.

Spring brings new life; but work still continues. We hope you're all enjoying the brighter nights and longer days! Video by Ronan / @unwisemonkeys & Evelyn WEBSITE https://www.hawila.org/ FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/sv.hawila/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/sv_hawila/ NEWSLETTER http://eepurl.com/hLy83L Our mission is to transport cargo emission-free and inspire others to act for change. We are currently working on the refit of our sailing vessel Hawila. This structural overhaul will make her fit for the first Transatlantic crossing. Hawila will be sailing 60 tons of organic products as well as trainees across the Atlantic, in an emission-free way, showing that respectful, ethical, and clean transport is possible. This work is possible thanks to people like you investing in shares! Learn more: https://www.hawila.org/cooperative/#share
