SAN FRANCISCO—Anytime Paul Cayard gets homesick for sailing a Volvo 70 on the edge in the Southern Ocean he can step out for a similar rush on an 18-foot skiff on his hometown San Francisco Bay. “I actually did sail one of these here back in ’79 or ’80,” Cayard said as he chatted with […]
Published: June 18, 2006 GOTEBORG, Sweden The U.S. yacht Pirates of the Caribbean won the ninth and final leg of the Volvo Ocean Race on Saturday, while the Dutch entry ABN AMRO One took overall honors for the grueling around-the-world regatta. The No. 1 Dutch yacht, skippered by Mike Sanderson, was last in the six- […]
MONDAY, MAY 8, 2006 BALTIMORE The awkward moments for the leaders of the Volvo Ocean Race have been reserved for port. There was the broken arm that the watch captain, Mark Christensen, suffered when he took a tumble as the crew docked the yacht in Cape Town. There were those two straggling performances during the […]
Seahorse August 2006 It is over. As I said in my last article, “a lot can and will happen” between NY and the finish in Gothenberg. I think what happened was beyond all of our expectations. The very unfortunate loss of Hans Horrevoets and the sinking of movistar were almost too much to take in […]

Travelling as much as I do, just sleeping in my own bed is part of my perfect weekend. Saturday, I get up pretty early. I’ll go for an hour-long run with Poppy, my yellow Labrador, on the hill where we live, Mount Tamalpais, near San Francisco. Then I’ll come home, make a cappuccino and read […]
We managed to finish 5th in the last race of the Castellon TPO 52 regatta. It was a good placing, the only shame of it was that we were second at the first mark and should have stayed up there. We finished 9th over all out of 21 which is not what we had hoped […]
Today was the “Offshore” race of the Castellon Serries. It was about 25 miles and really was just a bunch of 3 mile legs close to the shore. Onboard Lexus Atalanti, we managed to have our best result so far in the series, a 5th. Mean Machine of Holland, with Pirates crew member Dirk de […]
Another tough day for us on Atalanti. I haven’t seen the results but they could not have been good for us. John Kostecki and the guys on Caixia Galaicia had a good day finishing second in one race. The wind was a bit softer than yesterday only just reaching 10 knots at its max. The […]
