Published 7 December 2025 This week we weigh into the ORC XR41 controversy. After winning the ORC Worlds the ORC's technical committee have imposed a 10sec per mile handicap on the design.

It is a full bore sport which we haven't done, and so we were like kids in the candy store trying to learn. It was a lot of fun.

Published 2 November 2025 This week we discuss the iconic Australian sailing class The Sharpie. The Sharpie is a fantastic class that is very popular. The combination of a three person crew, close racing, fun regattas and affordability make it very appealing. And with their Nationals in Port Lincoln and each of us having sailed them, we couldn't resist. It was a lot of fun.
