Sailing Updates is THE Place to Follow Melges Racing at Key West!
Sail22 is in Key West gearing up for Key West Race Week 2011 and it’s breeze on today. A bit chilly today, but the forecast is looking great for next week! Ed and I will be out on the Melges 24 and Melges 32 race course with LIVE racing updates on Sailing Updates. Have you had a chance to check it out yet? We’ve had visitors from 52 countries stop by!

Here’s some of the feedback we’re heard so far:
-Thanks! Keep up the great work. I’m happily following along while trying to work from my desk here in San Diego.
-Sailing Updates Crew: Thanks for the great coverage!
-I have been really enjoying the updates throughout the day. You have done a great job describing the action as it happens. Wish I were out there and other than live video coverage, this is the next best thing! Keep up the great work.
-Thank you! From the one at home (someone’s gotta keeping those home fires burning) I love the updates and I thank you for providing them. The descriptions are great. Keep it up! Next best thing to being there (kinda).
Sailing Updates for the Melges 32 Gold Cup
We are very excited for the upcoming Melges 32 Gold Cup this week and will be doing our live coverage on Sailing Updates and of course our Sail22 photography of these fast & fun boats. Please check out all of our great sponsors who are helping to make this coverage possible and let them know how much you appreciate their sponsorship of Sailing Updates for the Melges 32 Gold Cup. We wouldn’t be there without the generous support of Point Loma Outfitting, Hillman Capital Management, New England Ropes, Gorilla Rigging, Atlantic Yacht Rigging and McConaghy Boats McConaghy 38. We also thank the Melges 32 Class for working with us to make it possible as well.
To get you in the Melges mood, check out some photos from last year’s Melges 32 Gold Cup here!
J80 Worlds and SailingUpdates.com by Sail22
We had a blast yesterday on the water updating live from the J80 Worlds with our new version of Sailing Updates. We are very grateful to our wonderful sponsors for the J80 Worlds Sailing Updates: North Sails One Design, New England Ropes, Atlantic Yacht Rigging Services, Gorilla Rigging, Swift Morris and the great support of J-Boats and the J80 Worlds 2010.
Some of my favorite photos from the day are mixed in with some of Paul Todd’s from Outside Images. If you like what you see, make sure you check out the J80 Worlds 2010 Book. The full Sail22 J80 Worlds photo gallery can be found here.
J80 Worlds 2010
We are in Newport, RI through this week for theJ80 Worlds and it’s looking like an awesome event! Boats have been arriving and rigging in the parking lot at Sail Newport since last week. We’ve been busy learning about a new class for Sail22 and meeting great people.
We are looking forward to some great racing this week with over 60 boats registered. We’ll be debuting a brand new version of Sailing Updates as well this week, since we’ve teamed up with our favorite design team of Cary & Beth Seigler from GT3 Creative. If you ever need a website or a redesign, they are the best! Check out Sailing Updates for live regatta coverage of the J80 Worlds in a very simple and clear new way. We can’t wait to share it!
Sail22 has teamed up with Hall Spars & Rigging this week to service our clients in the best way possible. We have pre-made J80 rigging onsite and the ability to have anything you may need made during the event. We also are fully stocked with all of the J80 parts you may need to prepare or in case of breakdown. Look for the Sail22 Support Trailer at Sail Newport until Monday afternoon and then over at the Newport Yachting Center.
The J80 Class is also very lucky to have Paul Todd from Outside Images in town to shoot his exceptional photographs for a 120 page (13inx11in) book he is creating on the 2010 J80 Worlds. His 6-Metre Worlds book is beautiful and we’re sure this one will be too. This post has a sneak peak at a few of his photos:
