Sailing Arabia The Tour ‘Tricky 3rd Edition’ Ends.

David Fuller — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:58:19 +0000

New events take time to build, and that’s in markets where sailing has been established as a professional sport for decades.

Premier Composite Technologies To Build New Ichi Ban

David Fuller — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 10:52:36 +0000

I’ve never been a fan of cut-and-paste blogging, and despite the penalties applied by Google to sites that regurgitate the same copy as everyone else, the practice continues.

But how many classes and series with tiny variations can the sport actually support? Thanks to the world governing body’s hands-off [...]
