    Nazare Records It's 1st Fatality Of Big Wave Surfer



    Photo Pedro Nunes

    Marcio was out enjoying 30 foot surf with tow partner Lucas Chumo when he fell on a wave, suffered a long hold down and surfaced unconscious around 4.16.

    Rescuers did their best to revive him but to no avail.
    “The rescuers found that the victim was in cardio-respiratory arrest (the sudden loss of breathing, heart function, and therefore consciousness.) and immediately starting resuscitation manoeuvres on the sand. After several...

    Celestial wins 2022 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race




    Celestial has been declared the overall winner of the 2022 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.








    It was never going to be anything but emotionally charged when Sam Haynes and his Celestial crew were crowned overall winners of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.

    Haynes and some of the same crew lost the race win last year after being penalised for an infraction of the rules, but accepted second place gracef...

    With Line Honours done and dusted, the focus of the 2022 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race turns to contenders for the Tattersall Cup, awarded to the overall winner, and since the race began on Monday, four TP52s have lit up the top four places.

    The TP52s have taken control of the race, with CYCA Vice Commodore Sam Haynes’ Celestial (NSW) constantly at the top of the standings, trying to keep all comers at bay.

    Today’s Stage 1 was unlike any other that we have ever seen. Out of the gates it was on brand, weather-driven and rowdy, then quickly went vanilla sideways.

    We’ll explain.

    To be clear, the 5am start didn’t disappoint. A full moon sunrise greeted the hundred-plus, bleary-eyed racers who exited the marina to navigate a starting sequence unlike any other. True to the instructions from the skippers’ meeting the day before, the start

    A great day of In Port racing in Aarhus highlighted by two comeback winners



    The sun was shining on Sunday, as it has been throughout the entire Aarhus stopover, and that meant a building sea breeze would be the order of the day for the In Port Racing programme.
