Miami brought a full range of conditions for the North-powered fleet at the @m32official Worlds, from light air patience racing to demanding downrange legs. @ryonlife Ryan McKillen's Surge and crew settled in spare. With @taylorwcanfield calling tactics, and @sloughborough, @stewartdodson, and @lukecpayne keeping the boat in sync, Surge showed the value of time on the water. As Mckillen put it, "There's a temptation to chase quick results and make changes early, but | believe in investing time in the guys and getting better together. That's been my approach, and we just showed it works." The fight behind them stayed tight. Cy Thompson kept TUUCI in the mix until the end, and @philrobertsonracing steered ChinaOne.Ningbo onto the final step of the podium. Bobby Julien's Dingbat wrapped up third Corinthian after a week of steady gains. Congratulations to all teams on a strong Worlds. @northsails

Special 50th edition Rolex Fastnet Race to take place in 2023. A year from now the start gun will fire on what will be the most significant, historic edition of the world’s largest offshore yacht race. Setting sail from Cowes on Saturday 22nd July 2023 will be the 50th edition of the Royal Ocean Racing Club’s Rolex Fastnet Race. For a second consecutive occasion, this will finish in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin via a 695 nautical mile course via the Fastnet Rock. Because this is a special edition, complete with celebrations taking place on both sides of the Channel prior to the start and at the finish, it is expected to attract a record-sized fleet. The first race, then simply known as the ‘Ocean Race’ and held on a course from Ryde to Plymouth via the Fastnet Rock, took place in 1925 with seven starters. A dinner immediately after the finish resulted in the Ocean Racing Club being established with Lt Cmdr EG Martin, owner of the first race’s winner, Jolie Brise, appointed Commodore. #RolexFastnetRace #RORCracing #Rolex

By far this is the best road trip we have ever done. We loved it so much we did it again. Many of the people that visit New Zealand often road trip around the South Island but I'm a firm believer that the North Island is just as beautiful, with the East Coast being just one example. We first did this trip in July 2022 and then again in September 2023 after Cyclone Gabrielle. The second time took longer to drive due to the extensive road works caused by the catastrophic damage from Cyclone Gabrielle so care was needed. Words cannot describe how beautiful this coastline is.
