The Cost of Doing Business

Sailors of three high-performance Olympic classes have been plagued with injuries. Sure, faster is fun, but athlete sustainability is a looming question.

Kiteboarders Set World Record

Kiteboarders in South Africa set a new record last weekend with an incredible showing of 415 people turning up to take part in a 3 hours long event.

The Standard Mark II is the first new substantial sail design in more than 40
years. The sail, which will be more broadly integrated into class racing after
the Rio Olympics, has biradial panels, a heavier 4.5-ounce Dacron cloth and
stronger reinforcement patches.

Small Sail, Big Change

The new radial-cut standard Laser sail was a long time coming, but after nearly five years of development, sailors have a reason to rejoice.
