Namba, with its lively Dotonbori area, is one of Osaka's busiest areas. It is filled with visitors from around the world. But places like this only work because of the people who belong here, the cooks, shopkeepers, and workers who show up every day. Visitors pass through. Community stays. A field note from Japan. Lowell Sheppard is a writer, sailor, and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society exploring what Japan can teach us about longevity, community, and living well in an aging world. He is the author of the forthcoming book Longevity and the Art of Community: Lessons from Japan.

The J/70 Worlds has a new champion! Yonder (USA), the team from Newport, Rhode Island, powered by North Sails and skippered by Douglas Newhouse with Jeremy Wilmot on tactics, led from Day 1 and never looked back, clinching the world title after five phenomenal days on the Bay of Palma. The team praised their North Sails setup for providing the perfect balance of speed. "Once we switched to North, we had it all," Newhouse shared. Yonder also sported #NorthSailsPerformanceClothing, ensuring they performed their best on the water. In addition, Brutus II (GBR), skippered by Charles Thompson with North expert Ben Saxton onboard, secured 3rd place overall, finishing strong with a win in the final race. Tim Ryan’s Vamos (AUS) topped the One Pro division, while Alec Cutler’s Hedgehog (BER) and Sofia Giondi’s Wanderlust (ITA) earned podium finishes in the Corinthian fleet. With North-powered boats excelling across divisions, it’s safe to say that this regatta will go down as another incredible chapter in the #NSVictoryList. Experience the North Sails difference and take your J/70 racing to the next level.
