Regatta

- Sam Goodchild confidently wins the 1000 Race on "Macif Santé Prévoyance" with a large lead after a strategic southern offensive.
- Corentin Horeau steers "Macsf" safely to second place in his first solo outing, closely followed by Violette Dorange.
- The 1000 Race serves as the first solo test field for four skippers; the Imoca season now leads to Vendée Arctique, Ocean Race Atlantic, Défi Azimut and Route du Rhum.

1000 Race: In a class of its own - Goodchild wins with Vendée Globe rocket

- Germany SailGP Team starts as eighth in the table in Bermuda, hoping for a podium finish with better starts and more consistent performances.
- In the absence of F50 training sessions, the team is using simulators and working intensively on starting phases, communication and role allocation on board.
- Moderate to shifty, fickle winds are expected in Bermuda; favourites include Australia, New Zealand is missing due to new boat construction.

Rolex SailGP: "It's about the balance between planning and intuition"

- Oliver Heer renames his Imoca in Lorient "Embrace The Challenge" and officially launches his second Vendée Globe campaign.
- The design, inspired by isobars, emphasises the central role of weather and dealing with pressure in ocean sailing.
- In 117 days' time, Heer will start the Ocean Race Atlantic with an international crew to optimise the potential of the ex-Charal/Mettraux boat for the Vendée Globe.

Vendée Globe: Dancing with the isobars - Heer shows new Imoca look

- Change of lead in the 1000 Race: Goodchild loses after a strong southerly course, Clapcich and Dorange temporarily in front, the field stretches north-south.
- Weak, shifting winds in the Bay of Biscay halve the pace, make navigation more difficult, lead to fatigue and material problems such as the breakage of a jockey pole.
- A lull is expected before the Gallimard waypoint and the final sprint to Concarneau, which makes fleet compression and unpredictable changes of position likely.

1000 Race: Clapcich in front, flipper ahead in the Bay of Biscay

- Seven Imoca skippers start the 1000 Race from Port-la-Foret to Fastnet Rock and back to Concarneau over approx. 1200 nautical miles.  
- Four participants are sailing solo for the first time; the favourites include Élodie Bonafous and Corentin Horeau on powerful modern boats.  
- The race serves as a test for larger regattas, is technically demanding despite the short distance and requires a lot of manoeuvring, tide and sleep management.

1000 Race: The Imocas are on the loose - who will win around Fastnet Rock?

- Elodie Bonafous, Violette Dorange and Francesca Clapcich completed a week of intensive offshore training in Port-la-Fôret before the 1000 Race.  
- The training week focussed on solo handling of the Imoca boats in preparation for the 1000 Race, Vendée Arctique and Route du Rhum.  
- The long-term goal of all three skippers is the Vendée Globe 2028/2029, which will be Dorange's second participation after her premiere in 2024/2025.

Imoca: Three women, one early mission - "Perhaps better organised?"

Vendée Globe

- Nathalie Brugger, three-time Olympian, is steering the AC40 for Tudor Team Alinghi at the America's Cup pre-regatta in Cagliari.
- In training, Brugger beats her male team colleagues several times, experiences a steep learning curve and emphasises the central role of data analysis.
- The pre-regatta marks new opportunities for female sailors: mixed crews, compulsory female participation on board and strong female athletes in several Cup teams.

America's Cup: Nathalie Brugger and the new strong Cup women

America's Cup

- PWC study: Ocean Race Europe benefited Kiel on several levels and strengthened its reputation as Germany's sailing capital.
- Kiel received over a third of the total media attention, including the starting collision between Holcim PRB and Allagrande Mapei.
- Around 165,000 visitors generated 57 million euros in turnover and 730 jobs; costs of 2.3 million euros were considered a planned and worthwhile investment.

Study: This is how much Kiel benefited from the Ocean Race Europe

The Ocean Race Atlantic: The Malizia crew - Herrmann times against Harris

- The best German was Philipp Buhl with 4th place in the Ilca 7; other notable successes included Löffler/Hoerr (470) and kiter Jannis Maus.
- Some top performers such as skiff crews were absent due to preparations for the World Championships; the results were characterised in part by material conservation, changing conditions and form building.

Semaine Olympique Française: Buhl remains strong, Maus in top ten house

Olympic Games

- Jannes Llull and Juliane Hausmann win the "Roma per Due" in the mini 6.50 proto classification ahead of Italy in stormy conditions.  
- Their new boat had only been in the water for a short time; as the only prototype not to be abandoned, they won with conservative tactics and a focus on damage limitation.  
- The regatta brought unforeseen high winds, thunderstorms, electronic problems and isolated navigation; Llull collected miles for the Mini-Transat qualification.

Roma per Due: German mini duo wins despite stormy conditions

- 18-year-old Carla Hénon-Steck plans to sail the Mini Transat solo with a Mini 6.50 in 2027 as her entry into offshore sailing.  
- She has Atlantic experience from the "Classroom under Sail" project and is inspired by sailors such as Clarisse Crémer and Violette Dorange.  
- She is currently still lacking a boat and full funding; she is intensively looking for sponsors and needs to build up single-handed practice and qualifying miles.

- By replacing old blocks, optimising the sheeting and clearing out, handling is improved and the boat is indirectly faster.
- Safety-related upgrades include stretch ropes for picking, preferably with a Dyneema core to minimise the risk of falling.
- A key measure is the switch from lead to lithium batteries with new cables to ensure sufficient energy for long regattas.
