The Biggest Events in Sailing - Ep34 OnCourse
There have been few sailing seasons quite like it. From the Olympics and the America's Cup to the $2million finale in SailGP, 2024 will go down as having the biggest billing for years.
In this episode we take a look at all three, plus we take a close look at what makes an AC75 rig such an advanced design and engineering exercise, along with what it might mean elsewhere in the sport.
Plus, Danish builders X-Yachts explain why they have invested so much time effort and money into rejoining the racing scene with their new Xr41
And of course as always there's a full helping of Docktalk presented by round the world record holder Dee Caffari.
