2021
After the 5O5 Class cancelled its 2020 World Championship in Sweden due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was all systems go for the 2021 edition in Bermuda on October 27-November 5 until that was cancelled too. Concern over travel issues due to COVID-19 quarantines and the impact of the pandemic on shipping costs led to the decision. The 5O5 Class hopes to avoid strike three with their 2022 World Championships on August 3-13 in Cork, Ireland. Until then, Mike Martin and Adam Lowry (USA) remain the reigning World Champions from their 2019 victory in Australia.

Opinion is influenced by environment, which hasnt helped the world get their hands around the coronavirus pandemic. Every approach is different, and odds are half the people disagree with the regulations they face. Its that kind of world these days.
For Russell Coutts, whose launch of his SailGP global sports league has been navigating COVID-19, he has grown tired of the inequity.
After forced to cancel his 2020 season, hed been tiptoeing in 2021 through Bermuda and Europe before his New Zealand event, planned for January 2022, was canceled in August 2021 due to government hurdles.
Coutts, in his best Howard Beale of “Im mad as hell and Im not going to take it anymore” impersonation, offers this commentary:
After experiencing what its like in Europe since May, it appears there are a lot of things being mis-reported in New Zealand. The media here seems set on promoting fear. It would be interesting to send a truly independent news crew offshore to report on what its really like in a more balanced way.I suspect most kiwis would be incredibly surprised

For all that the pandemic turned the world upside down, the summer of 2020 proved to be a surprisingly good one for sailing. Sales of boats—both new and used—went through the roof, and sailors everywhere found ways of getting out on the water, either alone or with friends and family as part of their personal “bubble.” One kind of sailing, though, that didn’t fare so well was racing. Granted, local sailors did their best to find alternatives. But with the exception of the America’s Cup and Vendée Globe, major regattas everywhere had to be put on hold—which only served to make it that much more fun being able to compete again in 2021.
Thistle NationalsHosted by the Cleveland Yacht Club and held on the unpredictable, occasionally tempestuous waters of Lake Erie, this year’s Thistle National Championship regatta also served as the class’s 75th-anniversary celebration. Designed by Sandy Douglass, more than 4,000 boats have gone down the ways since the first Thistle set sail in 1945. In addition to providing great racing aboard a great little boat, the Thistle class is renowned for attracting some of the friendliest, most welcoming sailors around. No great surprise, it looks like they had a pretty good time at this year’s nationals

The Swiss-based SP80 speed project aims to reach 80 knots with a kite pulling its surface-skimming trimaran. A subsurface superventilating foil counters the lift of the kite, and a mechanical interface aligns the forces. (Courtesy SP80/)
If Alex Caizergues succeeds at breaking the speed sailing world record in 2022, it will be his third time around using a kite, but otherwise completely different from his first two records. Those marks—50.57 knots in 2008 and 54.10 in 2010—were set when foiling boards were continually upping the 500-meter mark, sometimes more than once a year. Caizergues’ 2010 run added 3 knots to what the famed trimaran L’Hydroptere had shown us only a year before. But all those efforts ran into cavitation trouble at about 52 knots, that point when flow over the foils boils into vapor—the point at which control vanishes. For his early records, Caizergues used a hydrofoil to lift him above the water. Now, with his Syroco team based in Marseille, France, he intends to use a hydrofoil to hold him down

Veteran British solo-sailor Alex Thomson has announced he won’t compete as a skipper in the 2024 Vendée Globe [https://vendeeglobe.org]. However, he isn’t ruling out returning to the race in 2028. Thomson has competed in the IMOCA circuit for 19 years, including five successive Vendée Globe’s with two podium finishes and numerous world records. His record has also been marked by more than its fair of disappointment and heartbreak due to equipment failures. In 2016 he was solidly in the lead off the Cape of Good Hope, but then lost his starboard foil after hitting an unidentified floating object. He still managed to finish second behind France’s Armel Le Cléach.
In the 2020 Vendée Globe he was forced to withdraw after just 19 days of racing because of damage to one of his two rudders.
“I have had the privilege to compete and race IMOCA 60s for almost 20 years. I love the sport, but it’s time for me to spend more time on land, with my young family. My wife Kate has single-handedly raised our children for the last 10 years whilst I have pursued my dream. Now I want to support Kate and allow her the same opportunity that she has given me. This doesn’t mean that I am retiring, just changing my role, from spending most of my time at sea, to spending more of it on land,” Thomson said

Posted in ArticleAmerica’s Cup: Not their kind of party Sunday
Oct 24
2021
When New York Yacht Club entered the 36th America’s Cup, they did so after a decade and a half away from the event, motivated to influence the direction of the competition. But you can’t change it if you don’t win it, and when they didn’t win it, they sought to change it anyway.
Not surprisingly, the New Zealand defender did not welcome this advance, and now that New York Yacht Club has opted out of participation, Kiwi journalist Duncan Johnstone offered his opinion of the turn of events. Here’s an excerpt:
New York’s high-handed attitude is bemusing, coming from a club that set the tone of the winner-takes-all attitude engrained in 132 years of holding the Cup before Australia broke that stranglehold in 1983.
The prestige the famous club brings to the regatta will be missed, but not the baggage that comes with them. The cheek of releasing an alternative draft protocol in May – when they have no say in the runnings of the regatta as a well and truly beaten challenger in late January – defied belief.
Just as mystifying was the decision to jettison their American Magic team in July, replacing it with the unproven Stars + Stripes syndicate. Now that budding team also find themselves looking for a new club to back their challenge.
The most pleasing news out of the United States this past week was the commitment from American Magic and Stars + Stripes to stay in the game. Right now, the America’s Cup needs them more than it needs the New York Yacht Club.
Time is always the greatest commodity in the Cup, and it is ticking by.
November 17 is looming on the countdown clock, and Team New Zealand will be hoping it can arrive without more dramas – maybe a tough prospect as whispers continue to swirl of potential legal action to see the Cup sailed in Auckland.

Oct 24
2021
Aspiring sailors that consider Olympic pursuits assess their skills and body type, and then select the equipment that best matches these variables. But for big body males, those options have been shrinking.
In the past half century, gone is the Soling (1972-2000), Tempest (1972-76), and Star (1932-40, 1952-72, 1980-2012). Change occurred for different reasons, with a movement by the International Olympic Committee to modernize format and equipment finding no event to fit the Finn (1952-2020).
Class organizations and suppliers thrive under Olympic status, with participation guaranteed and gear regularly updated. Following Tokyo 2020, the Finn Class is now grappling with their new paradigm, though much like the Star, which holds much history in the sport, the Finn may even thrive as they look forward

San Diego, CA (October 23, 2021) – Who more fitting to earn the championship title at this year’s International Masters Regatta than the 2021 National Sailing Hall of Fame inductee himself, Carl Buchan.
After taking the lead yesterday, Buchan’s team stayed on a roll today, posting a 3-1-5 to seal victory before the final race. Pondering whether to sail, when an opposing team had boat problems prior to that race, Buchan solved the issue for both teams, offering his boat as his team celebrated their victory.
“Our crew all worked together really well,” said Buchan. “We all did our job and trusted each other. It was good to feel the team coming together. We kept our focus on what we needed to do. The starts were really close and hard-fought. We had some great breezes, but sometimes it got a little tricky on the shift.”

For Dennis Conner, after representing New York Yacht Club and San Diego Yacht Club, he entered the 2000 Americas Cup under Cortez Racing Association, a club with no facility which organizes local racing in San Diego, CA. Larry Ellison took it a step further, funding Golden Gate Yacht Club and filling its board with employees.
