Subscribe, don't mis it! As the sun sets on a glorious day, the points table shows Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, and Ineos Britannia, after scoring double race wins, just one point away from eliminating their opponents and securing their places in the Louis Vuitton Cup Final. Such is the brutal nature of a competition where famously “There is no Second”, the simple fact is that for Alinghi Red Bull Racing and New York Yacht Club American Magic, they will both be eliminated from the tournament if they lose just one race tomorrow afternoon. With winds gusting above 18 knots and recorded speeds on the racecourse in excess of 50 knots (92.6 Km/h), Day 2 saw the best racing coming between the Italians and Americans. In the first race Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, were fired up from the start and eclipsed the hard driving Americans immediately off the start line, going on to capitalise on small boat-handling errors by the Americans, and securing vital boat positioning through outstanding race management, to win by 26 seconds.

Subscribe to our daily reports on the 37th America's Cup and in November the Vendee Globe which is the HARDEST Sporting Evnt in the Globe. The business end of the Louis Vuitton Cup began today under bright sunshine on the stunning waters off Barcelona, with the first day of the Louis Vuitton Cup Semi-Finals seeing two utterly ruthless performances from the top two Challenger teams to emerge from the initial Round Robin series – Ineos Britannia and Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli. On a shifting and tricky day, with a seven to 13 knot wind coming in across the Mediterranean from the south-south-west, it was time for the superstars of the sport to shine – and they did so with clinical execution. With Sir Ben Ainslie’s selection of the Swiss Alinghi Red Bull Racing tight racing was expected, but apart from some initial exchanges in the pair’s opening race, it was all one-way traffic in favour of the British.

This is the weekly global sailing highlights show, the world on Water, September 13, 2024. With the end of the Round Robins, the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team can now focus on the next step, the Challenger Selection Series Semifinals. Keep watching the World on Water for exclusive coverage. Oskari Muhonen has become the first ever Finnish sailor to win the Finn Gold Cup. He has dominated this week in Aarhus in light and strong winds and shown great speed and tactics to become the undisputed Finn world champion for 2024. Hungary’s Doma Nemeth had his chances but in the end finished second, only beating Muhonen in one race. But as the leading U23 sailor here, he takes home the Finn Silver Cup, a title he has twice won and which Muhonen has won three times. Third place was a real battle with Italy’s Alessandro Marega winning by one point over France’s Valerian Lebrun. This is the story of Armel (Le Cléac'h), Mathieu (Sarrot) and Emmanuel (Bachellerie) who, on the eve of the start of a race, exchanged ideas in a short, punchy, experiential and very high-level sporting format. The 24Hour Ultim were born. Under the aegis of Banque Populaire Grand Ouest, which was also immediately supportive and won over by the format, 2024 will see the 3rd edition of the 24Hour Ultim take place. Also supported by local authorities (Lorient Agglomeration, Larmor Plage, the Morbihan department and the Brittany Region), this event is now set to become a permanent fixture in the annual calendar of the Ultim 32/23 Class departing from and arriving at the port of Lorient. The outcome of the 55th edition of La Solitaire du Figaro Paprec is approaching. While the name of the person who will write his name will be known in a few hours, it is still impossible at this stage to lend himself to the odds of the gap as the deviations are so small. At the 3 p. m. singing, Lois Berrehar (Skipper Macif 2022) was in the lead, 0.7 thousand ahead of Basile Bourgnon (EDENRED) and Gaston Morvan (Region Brittany – CMB Performance). The leader in the provisional general classification, Tom Dolan was 7th, 6.8 miles from the leader. In view of the differences after the first two stages, nothing is played for the final victory in the race. In this video, Brit, Pip Hare, shares an insight into the final preparations ahead of the 2024 Vondée Globe race which starts in November. It is the hardest sporting event in the world, as 40 solo skippers, race their 60 foot yachts, non stop, unassisted, around the world. Could you do this?

Succumbing to the loss against the British and then a second loss to Emirates Team New Zealand today, Alinghi Red Bull Racing looked to be struggling for horsepower in the breeze and waves. Maxime Bachelin, port helm took a modicum of positives away from both races but knows that it will be a tricky final race against Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli tomorrow saying: “It was quite a tough day for us. We were expecting a better performance from us in the waves, so we are a bit disappointed I would say. Tomorrow is just one match, and we will go for it and try to win this one as we can see that Luna Rossa is beatable.” Andy Maloney, trimmer on Emirates Team New Zealand, commented about their uncustomary ragged start but clinical race execution thereafter against the Swiss, saying: “We didn't get off to the best start and I think that was probably our biggest mistake in the race. It was tricky conditions to sail the boat and great practice for us out there in that stuff, that’s really what we need to work on. Everyone's got great boats and great packages, so we know it's going to be a lot about the pre-start and that first exchange off the line, trying to predict the first shift, who's going to win on the first interaction – that’s going to be a lot of the race so we're really focusing on that. Today we didn’t quite nail that, but we will go back and look to see how we could have done better.” If the schedule is completed, Sunday’s racing will see the final spot in the Louis Vuitton Cup semi-final secured. It’s a straight deal – Orient Express Racing Team must beat Ineos Britannia to draw level with Alinghi Red Bull Racing. For the Swiss, they will guarantee their spot if they beat Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli but will face a race-off if the French finish tied on points

Tony Langley’s Gladiator team won the one and only race to be sailed at the Puerto Portals 52 SUPER SERIES Sailing Week to keep the pressure on the event leaders Harm Müller-Spreer’s Platoon Aviation who maintained their high level of consistency with a third to remain nine points clear as the regatta passed its midpoint today. Doug DeVos’s Quantum Racing powered by American Magic took third. It was another pin end start masterclass from helm Guille Parada, Langley and the world championship winning afterguard, their opening gambit on their chosen, favoured left side of the course allowed them to cross the fleet just over half way up the first beat. From there the British team were very much in control of Race 5 and able to build a comfortable cushion ahead of the US boat. Platoon Aviation maybe lost ground on the second circuit but remain on course to win their first regatta since taking the 2023 Rolex TP52 World Championship title in Barcelona last year. This is your weekly global sailing highlights show, the World on Water, September 06, 2024. The 2024 Finn Gold Cup opened in Aarhus, Denmark, this week with an impressive line-up of new and old talent. It follows six years on from the last time the Finn world championship was held in Aarhus, then as part of the 2018, Sailing World Championships. The event, hosted by Sailing Aarhus at the Aarhus International Sailing Center, also incorporates the Finn Silver Cup, for Under 23 sailors. At the moment there are over 110 boats entered, including seven Under 23, from 21 nations. Racing began on Tuesday 3 September, with a series of 10 races over five days. After a long, hot, but very exciting Saturday of racing on the Bay of Palma, Harm Müller-Spreer’s 2023 circuit champions Platoon Aviation go into tomorrow’s decisive last two races of the Puerto Portals 52 SUPER SERIES Sailing Week with a three points lead over both the world champions Gladiator and Quantum Racing powered by American Magic who are both locked on the same aggregate. It is the first time this season that the German flagged team has led into the last day, reflecting an upturn in the performance of the crew with their new 2024 boat. But for all that, they arrived back at Puerto Portals Marina somewhat disappointed with their day, reflecting on what could have been after getting not one but two successive penalties in consecutive races, both resulting in weighty ninth place finishes. In light, ghosting conditions which prevailed for the final miles of the passage, Loïs Berrehar won the first leg of the 55th edition of the Solitaire du Figaro between Le Havre and Gijón. The 31 year old who finished third last year held his nerve and kept his boat moving best, and chose the best layline to the line to take first gun and take his first ever stage victory on his sixth La Solitaire du Figaro. Tony Langley’s British flagged Gladiator team made it two wins in a row today when they overturned a three points deficit over the one and only race sailed to add the Puerto Portals 52 SUPER SERIES Sailing Week title to the Rolex TP52 World Championship which they secured in Newport RI USA some six weeks ago. Buoyed by the confidence of their worlds success and armed with a quick, well optimised boat they were able to get the better of Harm Müller-Spreer’s Platoon Aviation crew who came off second best today – only losing on tie break to their British rivals – but most of all they will rue two penalties in consecutive races on Friday. These red flags accounted for 18 of the 24 point aggregate they landed on the penultimate day of racing on the Bay of Palma. Cross the English Channel and spend a few days in England with Pip Hare, skipper of the IMOCA Medallia. With her radiant smile, Pip invites us into her world and shares her ambitious project: her dream of competing in the Vendée Globe, her unwavering determination to make it happen, the UK's deep-rooted culture of offshore racing, and the steadfast support of her team. While some days are more challenging than others, she fully appreciates the privilege of being on the starting line for the next Vendée Globe. Day 10: Daniele Benedetti survived a last day scare to earn first event victory on World Tour, while Justine Lemeteyer powers to victory in women’s Foil Slalom For a short while, it looked as though the last day of the 2024 Fuerteventura PWA World Cup may end in anticlimactic fashion after the early strong winds became gusty and shifty, which caused a postponement to the racing. Thankfully, however, shortly after 1pm local time, the wind returned allowing a further two eliminations for the men and three eliminations for the women to be completed in winds ranging anywhere between 18-28 knots.

After Day 5's cancellation of racing due to in-clement weather, the Louis Vuitton Cup schedule got right back on track with five races completed in a shifting 6-10 knot thermal southerly breeze that challenged the sailors. The big story of the day was Alinghi Red Bull Racing, a team that at their own admission has had a ‘reset', scoring their second win of the regatta, to now move off the bottom-step in the rankings, with the very real prospect of a safe passage through to the semi-final stage. In their race today against New York Yacht Club American Magic, the Swiss were sublime. Capitalising on some uncharacteristic manoeuvre execution errors, and a penalty in the pre-start awarded against the Americans, Alinghi Red Bull Racing sailed a super-clean race, showing pace and bravery to never be headed after the start. Such was the confidence in their speed, the Swiss were able to use every ounce of their tactical and wind-spotting nous to dominate, in a textbook match-race.

The concluding race of the Louis Vuitton Cup opening Round Robin was something of a classic between Emirates Team New Zealand and New York Yacht Club American Magic – two teams who both had something to prove, gain and learn from each other. It was a tense, close battle right from the start with some textbook match-racing and pin-point execution that saw lead changes aplenty before the Kiwis ultimately came up with masterful positioning on the second downwind leg and some great reading of the pressure to seize a lead that they never lost. For Emirates Team New Zealand it was a chance to check in after their repairs on Friday, and Andy Maloney, trimmer on ‘Taihoro,’ appeared more than pleased in the race against American Magic, saying, “It was an amazing effort by the shore crew to get us out there yesterday like they did, and the boat was feeling good, the phases though were extremely difficult out there. We didn't read them that well on the first upwind, which we sort of kick ourselves for, but then from then on, I think we re-grouped well, and sailed a really good race, keeping in phase when we could, and splitting when we had the opportunity to get past them. But extremely difficult, and I think you can both be in phase with different puffs around the racecourse.” Tom Slingsby, starboard helm on American Magic, shouldered some of the blame for their loss today saying: “We had a really good first lap, we were behind on the first cross, and then got back, and got them at the top mark. We had a nice run, led them around the bottom mark, which was nice, and then the second beat it felt like they were potentially manoeuvring a bit better than us. We tried matching them a couple of times, and then they seemed to be closing in on us and, my hands are up, I decided to say: ‘look we're bleeding here, let's let them go and just concentrate on ourselves and try to pick the shifts’, and I chose the wrong time to do that.” There is now just one scheduled day off before the regatta rolls into Round Robin 2, and most teams will elect to take a maintenance day before racing is scheduled to start on Tuesday with what could be a semi-final decider race between Orient Express Racing Team and Alinghi Red Bull Racing, in the very first race. The pressure is white-hot and rising at the Louis Vuitton Cup, with one of these excellent teams going home exactly one week from today, and no-one, but no-one wants to be that team.

With such a good line-up, it’s all eyes on the weather today in Barcelona with Iain Murray briefing this morning that he was expecting a more gradient wind today of 8 to 11 knots from the east-south-east, less reliant on the thermal breeze. An interesting speed test in store. At the start, American Magic cleverly sails clear of Luna Rossa’s wing-wash before gybing to follow and then sets up in a leeward but lead position to start well in the port quarter of the line. Luna Rossa is forced to tack off after an uncustomary lacklustre start and heads to the right boundary. At the cross back, it’s a huge gain to the Americans who slam an immediate cover on. Split tactics with the Americans playing the left boundary and the Italians, the right boundary and in this breeze, it feels like the race is in the hands of the wind Gods. At the top of the 1.4 nautical mile windward leg, both boats round alternate marks with the delta of two seconds just shaded by American Magic. Too close to call and it’s split tactics down the first run as the Race Committee shorten the course legs to 1.2 nautical miles.

His Majesty King Felipe VI of Spain was treated to a real spectacle on day one of the Louis Vuitton Cup with desperately close racing and some very interesting take-aways in light-airs. The King took to a hydrogen powered foiling support vessel to get a close-up view, on the racecourse itself, of the opening two races of the day where the French Orient Express Racing Team came out with fire in their belly and scored a thrilling win against Alinghi Red Bull Racing. For the French, short on time in the AC75, this was a vital win with Kevin Peponnet, port helm exuding a newfound confidence, saying: “We are feeling really positive. We didn’t win both races, but the goal was to at least win a race today. We felt that Alinghi Red Bull Racing have more weaknesses than Luna Rossa, so a win was more achievable – it was good to win this match. Then against Luna Rossa we felt we were in contention and although we lost, we have come away from that race feeling like we definitely have the potential to win against the big ones – and we haven’t discovered the full potential of our boat yet. ”

Louis Vuitton Cup results after Day 2 Emirates Team New Zealand issued a statement after racing had concluded today, saying: “After a thorough examination the team have been relieved that the damage was not as significant as initially expected. ” “There was a big scope of work to figure out where the damage was and how to fix it. The structural damage is reasonably significant, but it was all stuff we can repair to the hull, ” said structural engineer Dave Olsen. “You wouldn’t say we were lucky because it was a bad afternoon, but compared to what it could have been we are feeling very thankful for sure. ” The work has been relentless behind the boat shed doors by a highly skilled group of boat builders that have embraced the challenged presented just 24 hours ago. “The shore crew and boat builders are world class; they turn this stuff around really high quality and really quickly, ” Olsen added. “They are all putting big hours, and we will get this boat back on the water and racing again. ” The team are aiming to be back out on the racecourse on Saturday, lining up again for their share of six scheduled races — with Friday’s two missed races to be raced at the top of the programme. Conditions are forecast to stay light but slightly improve, with the first start scheduled at 2pm CET.

With a nicely put together victory in the first race and an equally accomplished second position on the first day of the Puerto Portals 52 SUPER SERIES Sailing Week, Harm Muller Spreer's 2023 overall champions on Platoon Aviation, today looked much more like the team which has won three TP52 World titles. The German flagged team, led by Italian tactician Vasco Vascotto, have been struggling to get the best so far from their new TP52 this season and suffered a setback in Newport when they lost their rudder at the first of the two events there. But today, back in the modest 8-10 knots sea breezes of the familiar Bay of Palma, they looked for all the world like the title winning Platoon of old, as they pieced two really solid results together to lead Tony Langley's recently crowned, Rolex TP52 World Champions, Gladiator, by a single point.

Emirates Team New Zealand is going for their third win in a rough in the America's Cup, something no Team has been able to do. This is their story in their quest for the cup. They tell the story the good and the bad. The Solitaire du Figaro, initially called the Course de l'Aurore, organized by the newspaper of the same name, was born in 1970. In 1980, the daily newspaper Le Figaro bought the event that now bears its name. After 15 years of good and loyal service, the Figaro, BENETEAU 2 yacht, has given way to the foiling, Figaro, BENETEAU 3. This new generation sailboat made its first appearence in spring 2019. The first race this year started in Rouen, took Wolf Rock, off the western end of England, to port, and finishes in Sea-hort, back in France. It is 615 nautical miles, and the boats are sailed by one person.

We navigated further offshore, knowing we were always going to run out of breeze." "Whisper made a lunge on the inside, sailing close, but ultimately their breeze ran out. We trusted the offshore breeze to keep us going." Two yachts have retired from the race, Intiy (damaged mainsail) and She’s the Culprit (dismasted), taking the total to three retirements.

The hull seemed to have not suffered any major damage beside scratched surfaces on the bow. Italian challenger Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli was nearby, with helm Jimmy Spithill noting how “it was a great breeze and not too rough either, pretty flat seaway.”

He offers himself a new podium at the end of a transatlantic race, having recently finished 3rd in the Route du Rhum (2022) and 2nd in Retour à la base (2023).
