"It's not normally like this" - a phrase regularly heard in sailing circles in reference to 'unusual weather', but for once this has worked in the favour of competitors at Match Race Germany, the opening event of the Alpari World Match Racing Tour

Lake Constance remained well behaved for day two of Match Race Germany, the opening event of the 2013 Alpari World Match Racing Tour.

A lengthy day on Lake Constance marked the start of Match Race Germany and the opening round of the 2013 Alpari World Match Racing Tour. With the wind off Langenargen just strong enough to sail but rarely getting above 10 knots, the organisers ripped through ten flights of the qualifying round, bringing all of the 12 international teams up to five races sailed.

America's Cup organizers have confirmed that this summer's events remain on track.

Top match racing crews from around the world are gathering on the north shore of Lake Constance this week ready for the first salvos of the 2013 Alpari World Match Racing Tour, starting on Thursday.

Regatta Director Iain Murray will lead a review into the events surrounding the capsize of Artemis Racing's first AC72 and the subsequent tragic death of crewman Andrew Simpson.

The 2013 Ulsan PWA World Cup will be an event that Alberto Menegatti (Starboard / Point-7) will remember forever as the Italian claimed his maiden PWA event victory after a terrific performance.

A day of teasing winds - despite an unfavorable forecast - on the fifth day of the Ulsan PWA World Cup saw the sailors experience a long day on hold, but ultimately the wind never quite materialized enough to allow the competition to resume.

The decision to hold an earlier skippers' meeting on day four of the Ulsan PWA World Cup was duly rewarded as Jinha beach was transformed into a port tack slalom sailors playground, which allowed an epic - but grueling - eight hours of racing to be completed.

Jinha beach truly delivered the goods on day two of the Ulsan PWA World Cup as winds of between 14-25 knots created a slalom sailors paradise for the entire afternoon.
