SAILING ILLUSTRATED #799 (Fri 10 Jan 2025) — “It’s been an interesting first two days for us,” commented Gavin Brady (USA) on top with Nick Egnot-Johnson (NZL) and Ian Williams (GBR) at the 2025 Macao Match Cup. “Despite us not managing to do a great deal of preparation for the event, as well as other teams, we are sailing well. There are a lot of wind shifts here, but also a lot of passing lanes to keep the racing close – a great event so far.” Reminder that our SI Person of the Year will be announced on our 800th show on 14 January 2025.... SAILING ILLUSTRATED is hosted by Tom Ehman (USA), with Julia Wedekind (USA), Jon Emmett (GBR), Alistair Murray (AUS) and the FOSI. As always our live video podcast airs on Facebook (fb.com/sailingillustratedblog) and the Sailing Illustrated TV YouTube channel every Tuesday and Friday at 1300 Pacific / 2100 UTC, or watch a replay on-demand later.

Aluminium is the most widespread metal on Earth, and makes up 8%+ of the Earth's core mass. It's the third most common element after oxygen and silicon. ▫️ English chemist Sir Humphry Davy named the metal, coming up with the name from the mineral called alumina, taken from the French, who had based it on alum, a white mineral. ▫️ Sir Humphry initially spelt it alumium in 1807. He then switched to aluminum, and finally went for aluminium in 1812. ▫️ #aluminium #expedition #performance
