Although they’ve been hovering under the radar of sailing fans, Multi One Design 70 trimarans could shine in the spotlight if given the chance. With the right media, better scheduling, and improved promotion, these incredibly fast boats could really take flight.
_SW _senior editor Stu Streuli reports back from MOD 70 Musandam-Oman Sail at the Prologue of the Krys Ocean Race, from Newport, R.I., to New York City.
The Prologue of the Krys Ocean Race took five MOD 70 teams from Newport, R.I., to the Big Apple. Stève Ravussin’s _Race for Water _came out with the win.
Nearly 200 international yachts flocked to this sun-kissed town to celebrate the Giraglia Rolex Cup’s 60th anniversary this year. The regatta is aptly nicknamed “Queen of the Mediterranean,” both for its historic roots and its magnificent scenery. Oh, and the fierce conditions and competition that await the daring competitors. Esimit Europa 2 smashed the race record by over three hours, completing the 242-nautical mile race from Saint-Tropez, France to Sanremo, Italy, in just over 14 hours.[
Senior editor Stu Streuli shares the action on board the Farr 395 _Old School _during the 2012 Newport Bermuda Race start.
Although the shortest leg yet, Leg 8 was arguably the most intense. Groupama made their homecoming to Lorient, France, a comeback victory. CAMPER set a record 24-hour run of 565 miles and placed second. PUMA took third, while Telefonica dropped back in the standings due to rudder damage.

Senior editor Stuart Streuli reports in from Ganson Evans’ Farr 395_ Old School_ during the 2012 Bermuda Race.
Nearly 200 international yachts have gathered to compete in the Giraglia Rolex Cup in picturesque Saint-Tropez.
Ted Turner recalls the infamous 1979 Fastnet Race, which claimed the lives of 15 people and caused the abandonment or sinking of 24 boats. From our June 2002 issue.
Nearing the end of a race that will span a total of eight months, French skipper Franck Cammas’ team solidify their lead with a victory at Lisbon. Close behind was overall third-place boat PUMA, and overall second-place boat Telefonica had a rough race that put them in last.
Current overall leader Groupama took first place, while PUMA battled back for a well-deserved second place finish. CAMPER (with Emirates Team New Zealand) snagged the last podium spot, while overall second-place boat Telefonica came in last. Telefonica’s poor finish resulted partially from a penalty on PUMA immediately after the start and partially from a snapped masthead halyard.
