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.

Recent hulls now have a new, integrated cross beam and longeron (bow sprit) custom made in Cape Town for the Vision 444. Not only does this remove any through-hull connections near the waterline for the support cables of which I can not remember the name, it also provides a solid walking/standing area when working with the anchor or mooring.

Sea glide through the waters with precision. The anticipation builds as Svea and Velsheda prepare to return to the shores of Sardinia for the 34th Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup. This year's fleet, featuring around 50 of the world's most advanced maxi yachts, will compete over five days against the backdrop of the La Maddalena Archipelago. With world-class crews and North Sails experts on hand, the competition will be intense. @officialiclass
