Podcasts about Regatta

Thousands of people are expected to gather in Clarecastle this weekend for the annual Regatta, one of the highlights of the local calendar.   Revived in 2009, the event has grown into a major family fun day, with everything from boat rides and live music to children's activities, competitions and community displays.   Joining Alan Morrissey earlier to tell us more about this year's event were Chairperson of the Regatta Committee, Fergal Griffin, and Siobhan Purcell Tierney, Committee Co-Chair.

Mit dem bemerkenswerten zweiten Platz bei der ILCA EM hat sich Philipp Buhl einen Kaderplatz geholt. Im Podcast erzählt er uns die gesamte Geschichte drumherum, über den Druck, über Budgets, über Training und über vieles andere.

Graham Laycock meets many of those taking part in last weekend's regatta including organiser Clive Capel from the Weybridge Rowing Club.

Nur neun Boote gingen bei der laufenden Vendée Arctique an den Start. Das Ranking ist erwartbar. Steuert der IMOCA-Zirkus in eine Flaute? Dazu sprechen wir über die unterschiedlichen Ansätze bei den Neubauten, über die Solitaire du Figaro und weitere Themen.

Zwei YACHT-Redakteure, ein ambitioniertes Projekt: Wir begleiten Fabian Boerger und Ole Puls auf ihrem Weg zum Vegvisir Race. Mit ihrem restaurierten Langkieler „Slimöv“ von 1972 wollen sie beweisen, dass Regattasegeln kein Luxussport sein muss. Ihr erfahrt, wie die beiden sich auf die Regatta vorbereiten, die sie als Low-Budget-Projekt angehen. YACHT-Redakteur Hauke Schmidt unterstützt sie als Experte bei der Bootsbegutachtung, um die „Slimöv“ rennfertig zu machen. Fabian und Ole teilen ihre Erfahrungen und diskutieren die einfallsreichen Optimierungen, die sie bisher vorgenommen haben. Die beiden geben Tipps und berichten, wie andere Segler mit kleinen Anpassungen große Unterschiede erzielen können. Zudem sprechen sie über die Herausforderungen, die das Revier und das Projekt mit sich bringen, wenn sie im September an den Start gehen. Mit ihrer Erria 25 werden sie zwischen den Performance-Cruiser oder Carbon-Racer mit Sicherheit auffallen.

New Zealand is up against some quality competition in the first stage of the America's Cup cycle. This weekend sees the Italian island of Sardina host the first preliminary regatta, with eight boats set to take to the water. Team NZ, Britian's GB1, and Italian hosts Luna Rossa have sent both their main teams and a combined Women's and Youth boat to compete, alongside crews from Switzerland's Alinghi and French entry La Roche-Posay Racing. Team NZ CEO Grant Dalton told Mike Hosking that it's difficult to tell at this stage, but Luna Rossa is likely to be a force to be reckoned with. He says the other teams are quite light, but the Italian team has the most milage in the water at the moment and plenty of talent. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kaycee McIntosh and Julie Henningsen recount the June 2008 Regatta de Amigos disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, when the 38-foot racing sailboat Cynthia Woods lost its keel, punched a hole in the hull, and capsized in 30–60 seconds about 11 miles south of Matagorda. Safety officer Roger Stone woke to rising water, warned the crew, and pushed two sleeping sailors up through the flooding companionway, but never surfaced; five others survived by lashing together, keeping a positive mindset, and signaling with a single flashlight until the Coast Guard rescued them 26 hours later, while their EPIRB and life raft were trapped below deck. The episode highlights wearing life jackets early, carrying a waterproof light, having a float plan, and mounting EPIRBs for automatic access, then covers conflicting investigations, a settlement supporting Stone's children, and his posthumous Coast Guard Gold Lifesaving Medal. 00:00 Podcast Intro 00:29 Nightmare Below Deck 02:49 Meet the Crew 07:23 Rough Night Conditions 10:42 Keel Failure Chaos 15:23 Escape Into Darkness 17:17 Staying Alive Together 19:46 No Beacon No Raft 21:46 Needle in Haystack Rescue 25:05 Recovery and Loss 25:31 Safety Lessons Offshore 29:24 Investigations and Lawsuit 33:44 Honoring Roger Stone 36:07 Final Takeaways and Outro Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ KEY REFERENCES: "Roger Stone: The TAMUG Hero You've Never Heard Of."

Im September 2025 starteten Lennart Burke und Melwin Fink als jüngste deutsche Zweihand-Crew in die Weltumsegelungs-Regatta Globe40. Am 17. April erreichten sie den Zielhafen Lorient. In dieser Folge blicken die Segler auf eine herausfordernde Regatta zurück, die sie körperlich und mental an ihre Grenzen brachte. Wie reagiert man, wenn das eigene Boot auf dem Südmeer mitten in der Nacht einen schweren Schaden erleidet? Wie trifft man Entscheidungen unter extremem Druck? Was macht die mediale Aufmerksamkeit mit einem, und wie geht es jetzt nach der Globe40 weiter? Melwin und Lennart sprechen über die Herausforderungen auf See, was sie daraus gelernt haben und verraten uns ihr nächstes Ziel. Sei dabei, wenn Melwin und Lennart nach Hause kommen! Am 2. Mai gibt es eine [Willkommensparty am Hamburger Sandtorhafen](http://https://www.yacht.de/regatta/wettfahrten/globe40-erst-das-finale-dann-hamburger-hafenfest-fuer-burke-und-fink/), wenn die beiden um 13:15 Uhr einlaufen.

(Apr 20, 2026) New York's prison watchdog says it will have to cut staff and downsize efforts if lawmakers don't restore funding left out of the governor's budget; Gov. Kathy Hochul is proposing a tax on second homes in New York City; and we catch up with the Clarkson University crew team at a regatta in Saratoga Springs.

The Black Foils expect they'll likely be out for at least three more regattas on the Sail GP calendar. Having already missed round three of the season in Sydney after their high-speed crash with France at the Auckland event in February, the New Zealand team remain out of action for this weekend's racing in Brazil. Wing trimmer and co-CEO Blair Tuke has told Jason Pine that financial and logistical constraints mean their new boat probably won't be ready for next month's events in Bermuda or New York, either.

By 1980, The Police were really on a roll. Their first two albums, Outlandos d'Amour and Regatta de Blanc had introduced their punk/reggae stylings to the world and had earned platinum awards on both sides of the Atlantic. Their success meant they were in demand - as a live act around the world and in the studio by A&M records. Also due to their success, they had to record outside of the UK and chose Wisseloord Studio in the Netherlands to work on their third record, Zenyatta Mondatta. However, they had to wrap up the Regatta de Blanc tour, retreat to The Netherlands with whatever they had been writing on the road, run off to Ireland and Milton Keynes for a couple of shows, record and mix the album all in one month before they disembarked for their next tour. Though they were working with Nigel Gray, producer of their first two albums, they didn't have time to explore the songs as much as they just needed to lay them down so they could release the record on time. Still, under all that pressure, they managed to cobble together a fine album that would go double platinum in the US. Thanks in large part to the lead single Don't Stand So Close To Me, an ode to Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov based on Sting's experience as a teacher, which would be the boys first #1 in the UK and first Top 10 in the US. Though the lyrics may have been troubling, the song is an upbeat dance tune - something The Police would master while talking about famine (Driven To Tears), the importance of the words people say (De Doo Doo Doo, De Da Da Da) and the monotony of life on the road (Man In A Suitcase). Of course Sting did most of the writing but Andy Summers contributed the Grammy winning Behind My Camel (instrumental) and Stewart Copeland offered Bombs Away & The Other Way of Stopping. The Police never liked the mix on the record and felt they could have done better. They rerecorded the two singles in an ill-fated reunion attempt in 1986 and Sting would rework Shadows In The Rain on Dream of The Blue Turtles. But for Police fans this does stand the test of time and we celebrate Zenyatta Mondatta as it turns 45.
