If you predicted what would happen in today’s Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series racing in New York you are either the best storyteller around, or exceptionally intuitive.
One for the memory banks for sure!
With the bad luck of getting stuck on the pin at the start of the final race, knifing the mark from their foils, and then sailing through with new pressure, Emirates Team New…
Day 1 at the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series in New York was exceptionally tough on competitors, organisers and the spectators who were let down by a fading sea breeze which just wasn’t strong enough to battle the fast-flowing Hudson River.
In the first start of the day, the whole fleet was over the line early due to current, except for Artemis Racing, who was then one of two…
Today the Endeavour Program that aims to take sailing to communities involved with the America’s Cup, as first launched in Bermuda, was also introduced to New York.
Tucker Thompson and Russell Coutts welcomed the kids, with the Auld Mug in attendance, and a sailor from each team met with the young sailors before they headed out on the water.
I was lucky enough to chat with a group of kids…

Island of dreams
19 April 2016
Les Voiles De Saint-Barth. What an event! I will definitely be back for this amazing regatta next year – way too much action on and off the water.
I was lucky enough to be out taking photos during all of the racing, and also while exploring the island of Saint-Barth itself.
You can also check out my interviews with Peter Corrs (Corrs Light, winners of CSA 3), Andy Hemmings (Vesper, winners…
Sailor Girl in Texas
25 March 2016
I flew into Dallas, Texas on Monday on my way to the Caribbean for two VX One regattas.
Now I don’t know about you, but having never been to Texas before, I don’t usually immediately associate “Texas” and sailing. My goodness was I way off the mark!
It was fantastic to be shown around by Alex Padgett, the coach at Rush Creek Yacht Club (thanks Sammy Hodges for the intro)…
"Making waves"
17 March 2016
It has been so nice to be at home in Milton on the South Coast of NSW for the past week.
I moved “home” from Sydney just over a year ago when I knew I wanted to spend most of the year away “adventuring” at various sailing events. I am finally unpacking!
A big thanks to the Milton Ulladulla Times for catching up with me this morning at one of “my” other Harbours… Ulladulla…

Zhik unveiled, with the help of Lisa Darmanin, Jason Waterhouse and Will Ryan, the sailing uniform collection showcasing the revolutionary new super…
