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.

RoyPow supports the Elcano World Challenge #ROYPOW Check out RoyPow here : https://www.roypow.com/marine-ess/ Contact RoyPow here : marine@roypow.com You can see the full video on RoyPow and what Will Prowse, the dedicated battery guy has to say about the quality in RoyPow equipment. I am very lucky to have RoyPow come on board with the Elcano World Challenge. They have simplified my whole battery system and are able to supply everything – that’s right, they are a one-stop shop and it is excellent quality but don’t just take my word for it. Check out YouTube’s favourite Battery and Solar guy, Will Prowse, and check out for yourself what he has to say about RoyPow. The following are the links to the Will Prowse videos where he thoroughly tests different RoyPow batteries.
