I've analyzed the controversial finishing-line collision threat in New York, where one split-second decision cost the British team a major victory. The telemetry shows they had an 18-meter cushion, yet the officiating went entirely against them. There's a hidden flaw in how high-speed foiling rules are enforced, and it's changing how tactical risks are calculated.
I've always been fascinated by how different leaders extract peak performance under pressure. Some coaches scream, while others protect. I found a surprising sweet spot in elite sailing that borrows the best of both worlds, and it might change how you manage your own team.
I've watched a dedicated sailing community rapidly assemble around a new media force over the last six months. Now, they're hosting their first-ever live morning event right alongside one of the biggest racing spectacles of the summer. You can get in for free, but you'll need to know the specific coastal venue and registration path to secure your spot.
I've analyzed the technical pivot happening inside the Italian camp. They've decided to abandon their old flight control software entirely. By borrowing a specific control philosophy from their chief rival, they're hoping to unlock a vital performance advantage before the match begins.
I jumped onto an ETF 26 foiling catamaran at Lake Garda and immediately took over the flight controls. The speed was absolutely terrifying. I didn't really know what I was doing, but pulling the right rope at the right moment kept us flying above the water.
