Offshore Racing

Team Falcon

Atlantic Cup, Class 40, Sailboat racing

Pressure Cooked

The twist and turns of the Atlantic Cup’s high-stress sprint from Charleston to Brooklyn leave the winning skippers exasperated.

Basic Training

Transforming an offshore crew from neophytes to a self-sufficient unit takes many miles.

MOD70

Is the MOD70 Dying?

MOD70 organizers postpone the Krys Ocean Race transat until 2016. Whether the multihulls make it to the starting line then remains to be seen.

The Flying Dutchman

The Whitbread Race’s Flying Dutchman, Conny van Rietschoten, the only skipper to have won the race twice, passed away in December. A sentimental favorite of fans of the race, van Rietchoten, was a true character in era of true grit. Professional photographer Onne van der Wal captured the experience onboard in Flyer in 1977, and shares his own Conny story.

Benoit Marie

Little Boat, Big Pond

Amateur sailor Benoit Marie surprises everyone, and himself, by arriving to port ahead of some of the world’s best Mini sailors in the Mini Transat.

Macif Sailboat

Tragedy Avoided?

A delayed start for the Transat Jacques Vabre allowed much of the fleet to reach the finish in Brazil in good shape, save for favorites Michel Desjoyeaux and Francois Gabart, who suffered a dismasting.
