This week’s WoW starts in the “Big Apple” and ends in Bora Bora the tropical paradise. After a disappointing first day of the Louis Vuitton World Series America’s Cup Regatta in New York when there was no wind the final day, Sunday, brought some wind and big tides to the Hudson. And ETNZ win again but not without controversy. Then off to Palma, Mallorca for the Gastraa Palmavela regatta with the 52 Super Series, then Pantaenius Sail & Power Insurance brings us another episode of Skip Novak’s series on “Storm Sailing” filmed by Yachting World around Cape Horn, next the Star Sailor’s League in Hamburg, UK sailor Phil Sharp in IMERYS in the “Class 40” division of the Transat bakerly has a penalty against him and he has to go to a location-heave-to and wait for 6 hours before being allowed to continue racing and finally from the middle of the North Atlantic we finish up in exotic French Polynesia’s Bora Bora for the “Pearl Regatta.”
