But GB1's America's Cup campaign has already had an unexpected test in Naples, after its AC40 was damaged in a training collision before competitive racing begins. The British team has repaired the boat and is now ready to race. “Incidents like these certainly shake you up, but it’s probably a good learning experience for everyone in terms of the dangers and how we can operate more safely in the practice environment," says Ian Walker, GB1's CEO....

Topper on winning the fight to keep the dinghy dream alive

For more than 50 years, the Topper has been one of the boats through which young sailors have discovered the sport. But keeping an iconic dinghy relevant means more than continuing to build the same boat. Topper International has changed how the boat is manufactured, put greater emphasis on servicing its existing fleet and is now looking beyond boat sales to the bigger question of how to bring more people into sailing....
