World on Water June 13.25 Global Sailing Highlights 52 Super Series, 5.5 Class, TF35, ILCAs more

Welcome to the June 13th Global Sailing, World on Water Sailing Highlights Show.All of these videos have been released in the last seven days. After a bitterly disappointing first regatta of the season when they finished in an uncharacteristic last position in Saint-Tropez, France last month, the fortunes of the German flagged 2023 52 SUPER SERIES overall champions Platoon Aviation seem to have turned for the better.Harm Müller-Spreer's crew were the top scoring boat of the day at the GALICIA 52 SUPER SERIES Royal Cup in Baiona today posting a second and first to elevate themselves to second place on the regatta scoreboard.  The Scandinavian Gold Cup opened Thursday in Sopot, Poland, with seven 5.5 Metres competing for this historic and iconic trophy that dates back to 1922. Unfortunately, there was not enough wind to even complete one race.Meanwhile, next week's defending World Champions Ku-Ring-Gai 3, Australia 66, with John Bacon, Edward Wright, and Joost Houweling, won the only race completed in the President's Cup just six minutes inside the time limit. The Kiwis Shone on Day 3 of the 2025 49 er, 49 er F X and Nacra 17, European Championships, with Smart Racing and Strong Rivalry.The standout performers of the day were undoubtedly New Zealand’s Seb Menzies, and George Lee Rush, who delivered an impressive 2 3 1 scoreline, despite a grueling seven-hour day on the water. With long waits before races, the duo showed they’ve mastered the "on-off" switch, staying mentally fresh until it was time to perform, and perform they did. It was the Guardia di Finanza team that won this first stage of the 5th edition of the Marina Militare Nastro Rosa Tour, followed by the Marina Militare team and the Goztepe Yelken team from Turkey that won third place.For the Waswzp category, the victory went to the Marina Militare team, followed respectively by the Royal Madras team, and the Ocean Cruising team that closed the podium. Delivering an impressively consistent series across 10 races sailed in broad range of weather conditions, Doug DeVos’s US flagged crew of American Magic Quantum Racing, won the second regatta of the 2025 season to lift the prestigious Royal Cup for the fifth time since 2012.Although as Quantum Racing, powered by American Magic, they won the 2024 overall 52 SUPER SERIES season title, the young crew never quite managed to close out an event victory through 2023 and 2024.  Sails of Change 8, skippered by Yann Guichard, delivered an impressive performance on the final day of the T F 35 Mies Grand Prix, winning three out of four races, and solidifying their dominance throughout the event. Held from June 6 to 8, the regatta showcased the unpredictable nature of sailing on Lake Geneva, where mixed wind conditions kept teams on their toes. A long standing member of Annapolis Yacht Club supplied new Snipes, new sails and coaching to create a novel opportunity for junior sailors at both Annapolis Yacht Club and Severn Sailing Association. The concept is for juniorr. sailors to experience "adult" sailing on a large scale, and the Snipe is the perfect platform requiring tuning, tactical excellence, and athleticism. With over 50 boats, including four junior. teams, this year's Colonial Cup at Severn Sailing Association in Annapolis, saw the successful launch of the Snipe Junior Program. The 2025 ILCA Masters Nationals were proudly hosted by Hayling Island Sailing Club, drawing nearly 120 entries, including 60 Ilca 6's. Over three days of challenging conditions, competitors delivered exceptional racing in conditions that tested their mettle but were embraced with enthusiasm and resilience. It was a true showcase of the grit, courage, and skill that defines this remarkable community of sailors.
