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.

Lots of distance and drama for the GUNBOAT and Multihull Fleet today. Two long distance race courses sent the catamarans out of Narragansett Bay into the Rhode Island Sound, and the start of the Race 2 sent two race boats, Arethusa, and Tribe, to the Newport Shipyard with significant damage to their hulls. #nyycrwan #newportri #gunboat #nyyc #multihull #crash Discover Newport Coverage: Degan Media
