World on Water – SailGP will it float, Champs League, Waszp, SODEBO, Sam Davies more

Highlights of the Global Sport of Sailing in the last 7 days

The SailGP is in limbo as the pandemic breaks out in Bermuda. They are in 7 day lockdown. Will they get to race next weekend April 24-25?

The Finals of the Asia Pacific Sailors Champions League were at Newcastle in Australia. The crew from the Royal Yacht Club Tasmania were triumphant.

The Wasp National Championships were in Sorrento Australia, and we have highlights of Day Two, in 25 knots of breeze.

We have a tour of the base for the huge French Trimaran SODEBO.  They are still on for breaking the Jules Verne Trophy record for the fastest crewed, round the world, time sailed.

The Dutch Team for the Youth Americas Cup are seriously trialling. These boats are crazy.

The RORC Trans Atlantic Race is on next year. We preview the event.

One of the major disappointments in the past Vendee Globe was Sam Davies hitting a UFO and damaging her keel. Still, she returned to sailing around the world and save 102 children from major heart problems. Here is the story of her wonderful achievements.
