Offshore Sailing

While most sailors have slowed down a bit by age 81, Australian sailor and Ocean Cruising Club member Bill Hatfield is setting speed records.

On March 6, the Cruising Club of America presented its 2019 sailing awards at the New York Yacht Club in New York City.

The 2020 edition of the Race to Alaska (R2AK) will feature a major course change in addition to updated rules, organizers announced on Sept. 6.

The Transpacific Yacht Club will host another running of the Transpac Tahiti race in 2020.

The grandnephew of Walt Disney abandoned the 50th running of the Transpac to save the crew of a rival sailboat taking on water 200 miles from land.

The solo nonstop around-the-world Golden Globe Race will return in 2022 after a grueling 2018-19 contest in which just five competitors finished.

While most of the sailors participating in the 2018 Golden Globe around-the-world solo race long ago either retired from the competition or crossed the finish line, there is a single racer still on the North Atlantic and headed toward the finish at Les Sables d’Olonne in France.

Renowned navigator Stan Honey, young skippers Ellen and Seth Leonard, and a family of four who completed an 11-year circumnavigation have earned Cruising Club of America’s major awards for 2018.

Solo nonstop circumnavigation is among the most challenging feats in sailing.

Comfortably ahead in the Route du Rhum race, British sailor Alex Thomson paused for a short rest while approaching Guadeloupe.

On June 17, 2018, aboard our Omega 45, Kelaerin, just 150 miles from completing a circumnavigation that had gone over 17 years, a storm overtook us.
