After last week's deluge of off-the-water shenanigans in the America's Cup, it's wonderful to be starting this week off writing about some great match racing and team racing events in the US – and looking forward to this year's expected-to-be record-setting Rolex Fastnet Race.
Corinthian Yacht Club Sets The Benchmark At The Team Racing World Championship
What a week it’s been in Newport for the long-awaited return of the Team Racing World Championship. After a decade off the calendar, this year’s edition delivered everything we could have hoped for—tight racing, varied conditions, and a global lineup that showcased just how much this discipline has evolved. And at the centre of it all? A textbook performance from the Corinthian Yacht Club, who rightly leave as 2025 world champions.
