At the 34th America’s Cup, the dynamic conditions of the San Francisco Bay–combined with the breakneck speed of the AC72s–leave only enough time for well-informed instinct.

Luna Rossa’s helmsman, Chris Draper, shares what his team has learned from matching up against Emirates Team New Zealand in the round robin of the Louis Vuitton Cup.

The 2013 NYYC Swan 42 Nationals (July 18-20) consisted of 10 races in winds from 8 to 20 knots on the Rhode Island Sound and in Narragansett Bay. John Hele (Rye, N.Y.) and his largely Canadian team aboard Daring won the 15-boat regatta by an impressive 19 points.

Dolphins, great breeze, and two wildcard team entries ensured that Act 5 of the Extreme Sailing Series in Porto did not disappoint. Even after 30 races, the point spread was so tight that the top two teams–The Wave, Muscat, and Alinghi–entered into the final double pointer with just three points between them.
