The New Training Season Kicks Off with Gentle Breezes

The much-anticipated sailing season has officially begun, as the first training sessions took place this weekend under calm and sunny conditions.

With light winds setting the scene, skippers fine-tune their boats and ease back into the rhythm of offshore racing.

Early sessions focused on boat handling, sail trimming, and testing the onboard systems.

Throughout the day, the fleet enjoyed smooth sailing and clear skies, creating a positive and motivating atmosphere for the weekends of training ahead.

As the season progresses, crews expect stronger winds and more challenging conditions, but this gentle start has set a solid foundation for what promises to be an exciting year on the water.

The first leg of the race has been cancelled due to the proximity of Hurricane Gabriel.

Safety always comes first, and we are relieved to confirm that all of our sailors are safe and currently sheltered in Portuguese ports.

Once the danger has passed, the fleet will continue its journey towards La Palma, where the adventure will resume and competition will officially restart.

While the ocean has reminded us of its strength, the determination of our sailors remains intact and ready to set sail again as soon as conditions allow.
