Ahoy Knights of the Skys !

Thats how I like to imagine my skyyacht.
What could be mistaken for jet engines on the sides are high-tech rum barrel coolers...

The attached picture requires parental guidance :)

As you can see from my balloon there is just no way Im taking this race too seriously :)

I apologize for being a bit risque!! I received this picture very recently and wanted to share it with our ballooning enthusiasts:)

Hello,
I don't understand why the balloon does not fly above the ground...
Thank you for explanations

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Tasmania to Kamchatka 2026

Welcome to yet another all-new route. Tasmania to Kamchatka, part of our Ocean Championship and also the third leg of the ROW (Round the Old World) series. Be aware of the obstacles on the way, likely to split the fleet. It's like X:mas to X:mas, crossing the same waters, navigating the same archipelagos. This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031
