World Sailing News Esailgp Championship Returns with New World Sailing News eSailGP Championship returns with new innovations for 2021 With less than three weeks before the eight international teams meet on the water in Bermuda for the league's return to racing, SailGP today launched the 2021 eSailGP Championship. Building on the success of the inaugural season, which saw more than 146,000 unique players take part across 55,783 individual races, fans will have a chance to test their skills piloting one of the most innovative race boats in the world in a virtual environment on new courses and with new-look boats. The Championship winner will be rewarded with an all-inclusive package to a SailGP event in 2022 and a place in the 2021 eSailing World Championship Final. In partnership with World Sailing and Virtual Regatta, the championship will feature six qualification events over the course of the first half of the season, with a spot in the eSailGP Grand Final on October 15 up for grabs for the winners. The eSailGP Grand Final will see the two gamers with the highest points after three fleet races face off in a single winner-takes-all match race. Two wildcard berths will also be available at the final for a female player and a youth player, who will be selected by a panel of judges. This initiative is in line with SailGP's immediate focus on the advancement of gender equity and its program to fast-track the training and development of female athletes for participation in SailGP. eSailGP Season 1 amassed 753,000 views on SailGP's social platforms and the league has been working to further bring the live shows to life for players and followers, including enhanced graphics, explainer videos and a reinforced expert commentary team. Shay Thompson will return for her first full season as host and she is no stranger to the world of gaming. She is currently the host of McClaren's Shadowcast, streams for Xbox Interactive, presents panels and podcasts for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts and is the founder of Level Up Link Up, an event aimed to make the games industry a more diverse place. She'll be joined by Olympic champion and Japan SailGP Team helm Nathan Outteridge, who will transfer his expertise from the racecourse to the eSailGP commentary team for the first time, alongside his teammate and flight controller Leo Takahashi. SailGP Head of Content Jose Garnes said: "As an organisation, we strive to be at the forefront of innovation and we aim to make our sport as accessible and inclusive as possible. Our revamped eSailGP championship is an opportunity for fans to engage with SailGP in a new way, while introducing a new audience of gamers to the sport and diversifying our fan base. We've seen there is a big appetite for this type of gaming, particularly over the last year with many live sports fans and athletes turning to esports in lieu of real-life action, and we're excited to use this platform to introduce more people to our sport." British eSailor Mike O'Donovan won the inaugural season after seven months of hard-fought virtual battles. To launch the 2021 eSailGP Championship, he joined some of the game's top players, including French player Peptio from the MCES esport team and Andrea Emone who was a participant in the Spain SailGP Team women's invitational camp earlier this year, for the ultimate invitational event. eSailGP races are 5-6 minutes long and feature up to 10 players per game. The championship is integrated into the Virtual Regatta Inshore platform, the largest sailing community in the world with more than 1.6 million players. Training opens for each eSailGP qualification event a few days before the real-life racing kicks off, and the courses mimic the iconic venues where the global championship is hosting races at the respective time. The first event of the season kicks off with the Bermuda eSailGP, April 17-18. eSailGP can be played on Desktop, iOS and Android.

The partnership will enable collaboration between World Sailing and Musto to cement Musto's position as the number one performance sailing brand in the world. Musto is a brand synonymous with sailing. Steeped in a rich heritage, Musto continue to bring innovative, game changing products to the sailing community to improve performance on the water.

In addition, the World Sailing Team will wear Musto at the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games. World Sailing Chief Executive Officer, David Graham, said, "Musto was an obvious choice for World Sailing's Official Clothing Partner due to their long and successful legacy in sailing. We are delighted to be partnering with them. "Their pace of change and innovation is impressive. Our sport is evolving very quickly with much faster boats which puts a greater demand on the kit we wear. Musto have responded quickly, enabling the sailors to focus on performing. "World Sailing has ambitious sustainability goals and it was hugely important that Musto are pioneering in this space in their industry. The partnership covers the depth and breadth of our sport, which will enable us to collaborate on many levels and in turn grow global participation." The announcement was made today [4 March 2021] at Musto's virtual Brand Showcase event in London. The World Sailing announcement was part of a wider programme of activity that demonstrated Musto's experience and expertise in sailing, with ambassadors dialling in to the Brand Showcase event for exclusive interviews with the international media. Among them were some of the sport's biggest names including: Tokyo Olympic Games team members John Gimson and Anna Burnet of the British Sailing Team, Charlie Enright of 11th Hour Racing Team, and French offshore sailor, Clarisse Crémer - who recently finished 12th in this year's Vendée Globe. Scott Over, Commercial Director at World Sailing, added, "The partnership between World Sailing and Musto will enable both parties to work hand in hand to bring innovative and high-performance clothing to the global sailing community. We value the work our Race Officials deliver and look forward to providing them with the kit to allow them to deliver their work on and off the water as well as providing them with an online portal for supplementary items." "Our partnership with World Sailing is the umbrella under which everything sits, allowing us to create brand advocacy by engaging the global sailing community from grassroots to Olympic level." explained Nick Houchin, Musto's Head of Marketing. "This partnership cements our position as the sailing world's leading performance clothing brand and will support our global growth ambitions. Now we are the Official Clothing Partner of sailing's governing body, we are looking forward to communicating and working with a truly global audience. It is something we are immensely excited about and proud to be a part of." For more information on Musto's partnership with World Sailing, please visit www.musto.com. .

  • Race with World Sailing! World Sailing Sustainability Education Programme
    Topic 1 Race with World Sailing! World Sailing Sustainability Education Programme Supported by 1 2 Topic 1 | Race with World Sailing Welcome to the World Sailing Sustainability Education Programme! World Sailing started in 1907 in Paris and is the world governing body for the sport of sailing. The organisation promotes sailing internationally, manages the sailing at the Olympics and Paralympics, develops the racing rules of sailing, and supports sailors from all over the world. World Sailing is formed of national authorities in 145 countries as well as 115 classes of boat. World Sailing wants its sailors to share their love of sailing, while working together to protect the waters of the world. Sailing is part of a global movement to create change and positive impact, and you can be a part of this through your actions, on and off the water. To help sailors do this, there is a plan, called World Sailing’s Sustainability Agenda 2030. This plan describes changes within sailing that will help achieve 12 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and maximise the positive effect that sailors can have on the environment. The agenda was put together by a sustainability commission made up of experts and after lots of feedback it was adopted in May 2018 by all 145 member national authorities. There are 56 separate targets grouped under 6 recommendations. This education programme contributes to the recommendation to ‘Deliver Sustainability through Training’. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals were published in 2015 to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice and combat climate change by 2030.

  • World Sailing News Q1 2021
    News | Q1 | 2021 1 World Sailing News | Q1 | 2021 Presidential Welcome It is an honour to introduce you to the first edition of World Sailing News. Upon my election last November, I outlined my intention for World Sailing to communicate better with its Member National Authorities, Regional Associations, Class Associations, Committee members, and the hard-working volunteers that make our sport work, from the grassroots to the peak of performance. I hope that the introduction of these quarterly newsletters will help to achieve that. Open communication within our sport has always been important, but given the current climate, it is more crucial now than it has ever been. It is important that World Sailing takes the lead by sharing best practice, forming new ideas and creating inspiring content that touches all aspects of our sport. It is also vital that this material is well distributed across our community. It is a pity that we have not been able to meet face to face for so long, but I have enjoyed meeting and engaging with you directly and via our Regional Meetings. It is important that our dialogue works two ways so we can work together to grow the beautiful sport we all love. Quanhai Li President 2 World Sailing News | Q1 | 2021 CEO Welcome On one hand, it has been a At the 2020 Council Meeting, I made a pledge to improve very pleasant quarter for the our communication and engagement with our members, World Sailing community as and this new quarterly World Sailing News is part of that numerous sailing events have pledge.

  • Veterans Bid Court Farewell Win
    CHINA DAILY THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 2012 olympics 5 off track ... TALKING TO HERSELF Two-time beach volleyball gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings has found a way to keep herself from overthink- ing during her matches. “You have to give your brain another job to do,” she said after advancing to her third straight Olympic gold medal game. And what is that job? “I spell ‘pass’ 20 million times a day,” she said. “P-A-S-S. Right when they’re getting ready to serve.” BETTER LATE THAN NEVER Britain’s military has started pulling back personnel from the Olympics Park after a private security contractor made good on its numbers. Although G4S failed to provide some 10,000 workers it was contracted for, it is now sending more than 7,000 workers to Olympic venues each day. G4S spokesman Adam Mynott told AP: “It’s gone as well as it could given our revised position.” The Ministry of Defense says because of the develop- ment, some military personnel have been put on standby. Although there have been a few issues — guards turning up at the wrong place or minor skirmishes — G4S says the security operation has gone smoothly. But, Mynott said: “Given it’s not quite over yet, it’s still a crossing-your- fi ngers exercise.” IT’S ALL FOR THE LADIES A gold medal brings pride to a nation and satisfaction to the athlete who worked so hard to achieve it. Winning can also bring endorsements and riches that otherwise would CHRISTIAN PETERSEN / AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE be unattainable, and etch the athlete’s name in the history China’s Wang Zhizhi drives for a shot against Britain’s Dan Clark (left) and Joel Freeland during their men’s basketball preliminary-round match on Monday.
