As the 36th America’s Cup draws closer, teams need to learn how to fly on two foils in preparation for the launch of their 75ft Cup boats. The British and American Cup teams give us an insight into how this has been going and what crashes look like. Plus, we take a look at SailGP in San Francisco, we preview the 52 SuperSeries fleet and check in with the new names on the podium at the Hempel World Cup Series in Genoa. But if you watch just one feature this month, make sure you see our feature on Thomas Coville, one of the world’s exceptional solo sailors, as he takes us inside his mind and reveals the huge emotional pressure of racing around the world alone.

This video illustrates the force of the wind while on a close hauled/close reach with one reef in the main and 2/3 of the Genoa out in 17 knots of wind with 23 knot gusts. Our speed over ground last week ranged from a comfortable 6.5 knots to 12.5 knots. As you may know, the Lagoon 450 is well known for its capability to sail in low wind and down wind. We also realized the 450's ability to provide a controlled and comfortable “banging up wind” experience during our 21 day trip around the BVIs.
