Jonathan McKee explores his favorite twists and turns of the 2020-’21 Vendee Globe.
Mills Design announced today the launch of a project for Mini-Maxi owner, Roberto Lacorte, the Italian pharma executive and auto racer who has won several world championships with his Mini-Maxi cruiser/racer SuperNikka, designed by Mills’ design firm. This one, however, is something entirely different, but hardly surprising for the thrill-seeking owner/driver. Here’s the official word from Mills and his team on Lacorte’s flying 62-footer.
For one owner, the Dehler 30 One-Design stood out among a crowded field of purpose-built offshore doublehanders.
A collective sigh of relief went across the Vendee Globe fleet with news that PRB skipper Kevin Escoffier had been finally rescued by competitor Jean Le Cam after a harrowing search and rescue effort in conditions nothing short of heroic.
The Vendée Globe’s British superstar, Alex Thomson, will face himself and his past when setting off again on the greatest ocean race. Could this be his last shot at singlehanded glory?
With a shared commitment to their offshore racing program, these Midwestern kinsmen are now reaping the rewards of their success.
Having long retired from ocean racing, the great sailor Brad Van Liew is enjoying terra firma
American co-skippers Charlie Enright and Mark Towill set their sights on The Ocean Race again.
More than 70 percent of the globe is water—sailing’s field of play—and offshore sailing is played out across long distances in both light and strong
Mighty Merloe, HL Enloe’s ORMA 60, flew across the Sea of Cortez Monday and crossed the finish line to set new multihull and overall record
Sailing the Rolex Sydney Hobart with her father carries on a distance-racing family tradition
Shorter point-to-point races require a different level of preparation and a more assertive approach to tackling the course.
