Embark this week on another thrilling voyage across the globe as we navigate the exhilarating world of sailing through captivating stories and reports from some of the most prestigious regattas. From the heart of Europe to the azure waters of the Florida Keys and the picturesque landscapes of Australia, join us as we explore the latest sailing events.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For starters, let’s set sail in Dusseldorf, Germany, where the world’s largest sailboat show- BOOT DUSSELDORF- unfolds its grandeur at the Messe Conference & Exhibit Center. With over 300 sailboat-related exhibitors, this cultural event seamlessly blends the beauty of Dusseldorf along the Rhine River with the excitement of the latest sailing innovations.

Then, across the Atlantic we go, to bask in the sunshine of Key West, Florida, where the Southernmost Regatta, powered by Sailing Inc., paints a vibrant picture of tropical racing. Amidst the aquamarine waters of the Florida Keys, one-design fleets of J\/70s and J\/111s grace the seas, offering not just a sailing experience but a cultural immersion and a reunion with friends during the winter months.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Half a world away, we then venture Down Under to Sydney, Australia, where the Corinthian Yacht Club of Australia entries triumph in the highly competitive 2024 J\/70 NSW Championship. Against the backdrop of gusty winds and a challenging course, sailors showcase their skills and determination in an 18-boat fleet.

Family Adventures on the DISKO J\/99!<\/h2>\n

(Sydney, Australia)- 2023 was a big year for Team DISKO TROOPER- CONTENDER SAILCLOTH! We started the year finishing the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia\u2019s (CYCA) Two-Handed Series. Then try our hand at short course racing for the inaugural Australian J\/99 Nationals. It was fantastic to win both.<\/p>\n

Seeking a new adventure we then switched our focus to the 50th Rolex Fastnet Race. The 690.0nm course from Cowes, Isle of Wight down the English Channel, across the Irish Sea around the famous Fastnet Rock, and back to Cherbourg in northern France is a fantastic navigational challenge, but more importantly, an incredible opportunity to line up against the best two-handed fleet in the world. 96 of them to be exact.<\/p>\n

Coordinating a campaign from the other side of the world is a solid challenge. Especially when there are only two of you to do the work! But we pulled it off and had an amazing experience. We chartered a J\/99 from Key Yachting and took our sails across. In hindsight, one week was ambitious for getting the boat ready. And, we would have benefited from doing some of the lead-up races. Unfortunately, it\u2019s a long way from Australia…Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
