He lives in the skiff, VX One, dinghy, small boat World. Dave is a real thinker, and has added real value to many sailing campaigns over the years. You will enjoy his insights.#americascupeser...

Published 22 September 2024The IOM World Championships in Gladstone Australia are 1 month away. So we took a look at this high intensity, remote control racing class. The International One Metre is the most contested RC class in the World and you have to qualify to make the World Championships. Over the last 12 months, Croatia's Zvonko Jelacic has been unbeatable.
