When Steve Attard took charge of planning the Hobie 33 National Championship, his thoughts immediately turned to Charleston Race Week. Priority one was picking a venue and Attard realized being part of an existing regatta would dramatically reduce the logistical challenges.
“It made a lot of sense to me because Charleston Race Week provides all the on and off the water support,” Attard said. “I heard the currents and conditions were challenging and figured that would be a nice change of pace.”
Hobie 33 will become just the latest in a long line of classes to contest championships at the 27th Charleston Race Week, being held in 2023 on April 21-23 in Charleston, South Carolina. Ten one-design classes along with ORC divisions will compete on three separate circles set on Charleston Harbor.
Veteran regatta manager Taran Teague will once again serve as the overall principal race officer. Chip Till will handle PRO duties on Circle One (VX One, J/24, RS 21, J22/Inshore PHRF), Mark Foster will manage Circle Two (Melges 24, J/70), and Matt Hill will oversee Circle Three (J/88, J/105, Melges 32, Hobie 33). Bruce Bingman and Ray Redness return as principal race officers for the offshore courses being sailed by the ORC A, Pursuit Spinnaker A, Pursuit Spinnaker B, and Pursuit Non-Spinnaker classes.
As usual, the J/70 class is the largest of the regatta with 40 boats roughly evenly split between professional teams and Corinthian crews. Dallas, Texas skipper Bruno Pasquinelli is the defending champion at Charleston Race Week and will have a top-flight crew aboard Stampede. Last year, Morgan Reeser called tactics as Pasquinelli notched two bullets and finished fifth or better in five others on the way to winning by a comfortable 14-point margin…

With registration now closed, the 2023 Newport to Ensenada International Yacht Race has attracted 140 entries for the 75th edition that starts April 28 off the Balboa Pier in Newport Beach, CA. Competitors will either be racing on the 88 nm course to San Diego or the 123 nm course to Ensenada, Mexico.
The start will see two highly decorated multihulls face off in the quest for top, perhaps near back-to-back honors.
Last year, NOSA Staff Commodore Bills Gibbs and crew, (returning for his 23rd race) sailed away with five top trophies for the best time of Wahoo, his Schionning 1400 catamaran. In 2021, it was Jerry Fiat’s Farrier 32 SRX Taniwha that was the big winner, also taking home five trophies for best overall honors. Taniwha regretfully sat out last year’s race as the forecast for squally waves was deemed too risky for the lightweight trimaran.
Other winners who set personal bests last year are also back. Last year’s winning-most newcomer, John Brynjolfsson, will defend Saga’s in UL Maxi class, and Standish Fleming’s J/125 Nereid will look to repeat his trophy-winning coastal run.
While more than 20 sailors will take to the start line next for the very first time, and another 30 are returning. NOSA gratefully welcomes back Alec Oberschmidt aboard Staghound for an amazing-53rd time. Newport Beach’s own IT’S OK, thanks to Andy Rose and crew, will celebrate their 52nd horn, while multiple-time PHRF winner Andy Horning will revel in Day Tripper IIs 26th time to Ensenada.
New for 2023 is a strong showing by the growing J/111 fleet with five boats sailing in a competitive field of 16 J boats.

The U.S. Coast Guard has been informed that the Mexican Navy (SEMAR) has suspended their search on April 19 for three American mariners aboard the La Fitte 44 Ocean Bound, which was last heard from on April 4 near Mazatlán, Mexico.
Kerry O’Brien, Frank O’Brien, and William Gross aboard the sailboat reportedly left Mazatlán on April 4 en route to San Diego, Calif., with plans to stop in Cabo San Lucas on April 6, report in and reprovision. However, they did not report in or arrive in Cabo San Lucas.
Search and rescue coordinators contacted marinas throughout Baja, Mexico, which resulted in no sightings of the vessel. Urgent marine information broadcasts were also issued over VHF radio, but yielded no additional information.
The search was suspended pending further developments after SEMAR and U.S. Coast Guard responders conducted 281 cumulative search hours covering approximately 200,057 square nautical miles, an area larger than the state of California, off Mexico’s northern Pacific coast with no sign of the missing sailing vessel nor its passengers…

Modernizing the International 110

Posted by XS Editor
First built in 1939, the International 110 refers to itself as the ‘worlds first sportboat’. At 24-feet, the double-endeder is sailed by a crew of two, with one on the trapeze, and feels like a dinghy but with the stability of a keel. While still popular in a handful of USA pockets, Joe Berkeley reports for Sailing World on how an injection of interest is underway:
There must be something in the soil at Point Farm in Warren, Rhode Island. On this land, Steve Clark has reaped everything from traditional dories to C-class catamarans to International Canoes, and all sorts of genetically modified vessels in between. His latest crop is a brand-new International 110 crafted from sheets of mere marine plywood.
Members of the International 110 class talked about the creation of a kit boat for decades. When Clark rejoined the class, the dream became reality in short order. As the previous co-owner of Vanguard Sailboats, Clark was accustomed to building 3,000 sailboats per year. In the glory days, it took his firm about 18 hours to build a Sunfish.
Why is he putting his time and talent into building a kit for a one-design first built in 1939? With a mischievous grin, Clark says: “It’s the same reason why a dog licks his balls. Because he can.” At the age of 69, Clark is retired and still enjoys boatbuilding. He came back to the 110 because he saw it as a “geezer Canoe.” – Full report

We’ve asked a plethora or personalities from the sailing world, from top designers to racer for their thoughts on the coolest catamarans and multihulls. Each selection holds a special place in the heart of one of sailing’s biggest names.

“We have witnessed its evolution, and it is a sport that has won the hearts of Bahamians and the millions of visitors to The Bahamas.

The 5O5 Class Championships in 2023 will be hosted by St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco, California. The two-day 5O5 Pre-Worlds and North American Championship will be on September 23-24. The 5O5 World Championship will be sailed September 26 through October 1, with five days of racing plus one lay day for a total of six days.
Initially slated to be held in Santa Cruz, CA, the event was moved due to damage from the winter storms which impacted harbor access.
“There is no boat like a Five-O,” said said Beau Vrolyk, 2023 Commodore of St. Francis Yacht Club. “The extraordinary levels of skill in the fleet, and the tremendous camaraderie, make this one of our favorite fleets. Our Race Committee has been testing course options and working closely with the local fleet leadership, including a few World Champions, to ensure the best possible racing and parties.”
For three-time 5O5 World Champion Mike Holt, to be able to participate in a World Championship event on his own turf is exciting—particularly in a fleet as competitive and challenging as the International 5O5.
“It’s great to have the regatta in California. It’s an amazing venue in an iconic spectacular piece of water,” Holt stated. “It was very gracious of StFYC to step in at the last minute to host the event. It’ll be fun and I’m looking forward to it.”
The depth of talent in the 5O5 class is impressive, including sailors like Holt who started sailing the boat in 1985 when he was 16 years old.
“I’ve pretty much done only 5O5 sailing all those years. I’ve maybe taken a few years off here and there and sailed other things—keelboats, dinghies, 49ers, 18s—but it’s what I keep coming back to,” said Holt, who resides in Santa Cruz. “When you live on the West Coast it’s really the only good high-performance sailing that you can do safely, and it is a great fleet.”
Holt will be racing with his two-time World Champion crew Carl Smit (Annapolis, MD), and the pair have a long-time friendly rivalry with Mike Martin, “the evil other Mike,” Holt noted with good humor. Martin, who lives and trains in the Bay Area with crew Adam Lowry, is a four-time 5O5 World Champion and twelve-time 5O5 North American Champion…

(April 10, 2023) – Ian Herbert Jones (GBR), who had been racing his Tradewind 35 PUFFIN in the Golden Globe Race, had his boat roll over and dismast, with the skipper injuring his back and incurring a gash to his head. His location was northeast of Cape Horn when he became overwhelmed in winds gusting over 90 knots and a confused sea.
Jones was the last placed boat in the race, and had been relegated to the Chichester Class due to his use of safety electronics to coordinate stopover logistics.
At 1540UTC, he rang the GGR Race Office on Iridium phone to advise he was in extreme weather, running under bare poles, and trying to hand steer downwind. The yacht was laid over often by the force of wind and waves and there was a small amount of water down below.
The line was bad and contact was lost, but ten minutes later he called again, reporting how he could not launch his drogue to keep Puffin stern to the waves. He had been washed out of the cockpit twice and activated his EPIRB. Don McIntyre advised Jones that the extreme weather would last for at least another five hours, and that he should launch his drogue if possible, to assist down wind control on Puffin. Keeping the stern facing the wave is critical to avoid being rolled.
With only eight inches of water over the cabin sole, which was probably leakage through the cockpit, the manual bilge pump was working and Puffin was not sinking. At this time, the mast was secure and all safety equipment onboard was secure, although his electrical system was low on power…

However, Tomy is still 4° further north (240+ nm) and is well positioned to be the first in downwind conditions when that shift occurs. The ETA for the leader is April 30.

(April 7, 2023) – In the northern hemisphere, it’s been tense for Golden Globe Race leader Kirsten Neuschäfer (RSA) who has been in less wind than her runner-up Abhilash Tomy (IND) for longer. However, every time it looks like she’s losing the lead, she finds the resources to grab some miles back, or clutch to the extra bit of wind to hold the lead.
The past week has been hard on Neuschäfer who has generally been in lighter weather for several weeks running, bleeding miles from her lead to Tomy, falling from 300 miles last week to 50 today. Worse, the eastern option she chose, while closer to the finish has brought an in-and-out of the doldrums scenario with more frustrating light winds and psychological trauma. But yesterday she was in fresh winds, now on a higher route at speed towards the finish in Les Sables d’Olonne, France.
The contrast with Tomy is notable. Choosing a closer route to Brazil, he had very narrow doldrums and found strong, consistent tradewinds earlier, allowing him to sail higher and faster for weeks. After several months of fixing/rebuilding equipment failures and rationing water to less than one litre a day, he is posting good speed with time to relax and hydrate…
