Regatta

Races

- Hermann Noack was a successful sea sailor (Admiral's Cup victory in 1983) and an honoured picture founder with the Federal Cross of Merit and the Berlin Order of Merit.
- He supported young sailors, worked with the crew on an equal footing and shaped many careers, for example as the owner of the one-tonne yacht "Sabina".
- Friends and family honour him as an empathetic, fun-loving, modest mentor who positively influenced people until the ripe old age of 95.

Obituary: Farewell to a great Berliner - Farewell, Hermann Noack!

- Albert Schweizer was a sailor, sailmaker, Admiral's Cup participant and long-time supporter of young sailors such as Boris Herrmann.  
- He has been race director of the North Sea Week since 2017, sailed in 37 races and was involved in the DSV Sailing Committee.  
- Following the insolvency of his sailmaking business, he continued to manage sailing projects as an agent for Incidence Sails; he died on 2 April at the age of 69.

- The French and Belgians are in a neck-and-neck race in the Globe40 final, which could be decided by the western circumnavigation of the extended Azores high.  
- Burke/Fink are in third place on leg 6, hoping for opportunities around the Azores High and in the Bay of Biscay and fighting their way northwards in tough conditions.  
- The jury granted Burke/Fink's request for redress; they will be scored on points again and are in sixth place overall after the penultimate leg.

- Two YACHT editors prepare for the beginner-friendly offshore race Vegvisir with the 54-year-old Erria 25 "Slimöv".  
- The aim is to become regatta-capable with a small budget and an old, seaworthy long keel through targeted, cost-effective optimisations.  
- The focus is on practical tips on boat trim, rigging, sailing, endurance and night sailing to show that regatta sailing is not an elite or luxury sport.

Project: Unusual self-experiment - taking part in a regatta on a low budget

- French and Belgian teams are ahead in the Globe40 final, Burke/Fink are catching up, while pursuers such as "Barco Brasil" and "Wilson" are falling behind.  
- The fleet is forced to sail far to the west in order to avoid the Azores High and enter the westerly wind zone towards the Bay of Biscay.  
- Sargassum algae and an engine failure put a strain on Burke/Fink, but crew and boat are motivated, arrival in Lorient is expected around 16-18 April.

- Helgoland is to become the start and finish harbour of a new round-the-world race "Helgoland Round the World Race" for several offshore classes.  
- Planned course: from Heligoland via several European harbours, then classic via the three large capes and back; connection to German Olympic bids.  
- The aim is to raise Heligoland's global profile; prominent sailors and experts such as Boris Herrmann and local regatta stars have signalled their support.

- Team Belgium narrowly leads the final leg of the Globe40, while Crédit Mutuel relies on winds close to the coast on a westerly course and accepts a deficit.
- Lisa Berger/Jade Edwards-Leaney and Burke/Fink are sailing close together, fighting for the podium and top bow victory respectively; Berger criticises environmental pollution in Recife.
- The final leg from Recife to Lorient covers up to 4500 nm in real terms with the calm zone, Azores high, North Atlantic lows and Bay of Biscay as key challenges.

- Last Globe40 leg from Recife to Lorient starts with equal points between Crédit Mutuel and Belgium Ocean Racing - Curium.  
- Burke/Fink return after mast damage, Berger/Edwards-Leaney are still fighting for third place and victory in the Classic Class 40 classification.  
- The second leg (approx. 3500 nm, 15-16 days) counts double, light winds are expected at first, followed by storms off the Bay of Biscay.

Globe40: France vs. Belgium - the final duel is underway

- On the Ultim "Macsf", Guirec Soudée has beaten Jean-Luc Van Den Heede's 22-year-old east-west solo circumnavigation world record by a significant margin.
- He is the first skipper to master this route against the prevailing winds solo on a multihull and in under 100 days.
- Only around a dozen sailors have ever attempted this route; historical pioneers include Chay Blyth, Dee Caffari, Bill Hatfield and record holder Van Den Heede.

Circumnavigation: "Wrong way round the world" - record for Guirec Soudée

- Doku „All in“ begleitet Lennart Burke und Melwin Fink bei Globe40, ihrem Rückschlag im Indischen Ozean und ihrem Comeback zur Schlussetappe.
- Trotz geplatztem Weltumseglungs-Traum setzen beide ihre Kampagne fort, managen parallel ihr Unternehmen Next Generation Boating/Yachting.
- Der Film zeigt ihre physische und mentale Belastung, ihre Leidenschaft fürs Offshore-Segeln sowie Perspektiven von Familie, Sponsor und Experten.

- Two scow-bug teams with equal points are battling it out for overall victory in the Globe40 on the final leg from Recife to Lorient.
- Three Spitzbug teams have a mathematical chance of third place, while Burke/Fink are in eighth place due to the rules despite having a better record.
- Burke/Fink are aiming for a stage win despite not having a chance of a podium finish, but are planning to take a break from the campaign afterwards and are thinking about a new Class40 project in the long term.

Globe40: Final showdown from Sunday - French favourites

- Guirec Soudée has been sailing solo around the world from east to west against the wind and weather on the Ultim "Macsf" since the day before Christmas Eve.
- Despite a broken rudder near Madagascar, material fatigue and his own exhaustion, he is sticking to his goal of breaking the single-handed record in the opposite direction.
- After almost 87 days, he is around 4500 nautical miles ahead of Van Den Heede's record, but still has just under 2500 nautical miles to go to the finish line near Brest.
