    Working Hard To Get Back In The Race



    It might be hard to believe, given the scale of disappointment felt yesterday but these images were taken just an hour after the team docked back into The Hague.
    "The team is okay. It's been a tough afternoon but the most important thing is that everyone's okay," says Team CEO Mark Towill. "In my opinion, we've got one of the best tech teams in the world, so they're diagnosing exactly where we're at so we can make a plan."
    When the going gets tough...

    GUYOT environnement-Team Europe lead the way in fast and furious foiling conditions
    A fantastic first win for the popular IMOCA team at the In Port Race in The Hague




    The Hague served up some of the best racing conditions the IMOCA fleet has seen in this edition of The Ocean Race on Tuesday afternoon. Bright sunshine and strong winds approaching 20 knots made for fast and furious foiling for the In-Port Race.

    WBFW's Zeroing In On The Prize Money, Glory and Hot Showers!

    June 13, 2023


    Race to Alaska just closed out its fifth day since Victoria and here in the command bunker, we’re getting ready. We’re digging out the boxes of decorations, counting out the $10,000 prize money, finding the right piece of firewood, and sharpening some steak knives. Ketchikan is getting ready too. The newspaper is taking their typewriters in for an oil change. TV and radio hosts are already polishing their lenses and “Red Leather, Yellow Leather-ing”

    STAGE 2, DAY 5: IAN FARRIER OWES US MONEY

    June 12, 2023
    (We think today’s update is best read if you imagine us in a smoking jacket, pipe in hand. A cross between R2AK-fueled masterpiece theater whatever and whatever this was. That established, read on..)

    Here’s a debate we just started with ourselves: Team We Brake for Whales’ current program of a walk away, outperform and outlast, cookie-infused, victory-in-the-making is either the most R2AK victory...

    3 Boat Drag Race To The Hague




    The result was in doubt until the final moments of leg 6, with 11th Hour Racing Team along with Team Holcim-PRB and Team Malizia racing within shouting distance of each other during most of Sunday morning.

    The final approach to The Hague required one short upwind section where the boats were crisscrossing within metres with each tack, but skipper Charlie Enright's 11th Hour Racing Team held their nerve and made the final turn south with a small lead they would manage...

    Broken Parts, Abandonment & Things That Should Never Be Worn In Public



    Anyone who’s ever gotten married, taken the SATs, or gone to court knows that there is a big difference between the night before and the morning of. The night before there is a sleep buffer between you and the big uncertain. Day of? It’s right there, clock ticking louder and louder until it all of a sudden your whole life changes.

    The 2023 edition of this Azimut Challenge - Lorient Agglomeration marks a turning point for the multi-format event imagined by Jean-Marie Corteville in 2011. By welcoming 34 IMOCAs to Lorient La Base for the biggest poster of the year, the Challenge showed that he had the scale for large gatherings. Review of a breathtaking edition!
