Paul Goodison has become only the second person in the long history of the International Moth class to win the World Championship three times in a row. Sailjuice managed to catch up with Paul on his mobile phone as he was jet-setting his way to a J70 competition in Italy. Paul is the first to achieve the Moth hat trick in the foiling era after he dominated the competition in Bermuda this year. With the next America’s Cup set to take place in 75ft foiling monohulls, it’s no surprise to learn that Paul’s been signed up to one of the teams, although who that might be he’s not saying quite yet. Anyway, he had plenty to say on other subjects, including a little wind-up of his old Laser rival Tom Slingsby....

Matt Sheahan is the producer of the World Sailing Show, working at Sunset & Vine in London. Here Matt chats with Sailjuice.com's Andy Rice about some of the goings on in the grand prix racing world at the end of 2017 and start of 2018...

Singlehanded around the world record - smashed again

Last year Thomas Coville completed his 28,000 mile solo circumnavigation in 49 days, slashing 8 days off the previous best.

Heralded as the performance of the decade, many believed that the new record would stand for a long time. But 12 months later and on his first attempt, Francois Gabart changed that and lowered the time even further, slicing more than 6 days off Coville’s record.

Star Sailors’ League – The world’s best go head to head

Among the 25 strong fleet there were 25 Olympic medals on the start line, seven of them gold, while the list of World and European champions and offshore record holders read like the credits of a Hollywood movie.

The message was clear – This was an impressive assembly of sailing rock stars and legends doing battle in a fleet of identical boats and where the final result went all the way to the wire. The World Sailing Show was there.

Volvo Ocean Race Leg 3 & 4 - All change

From surfing the wastes of the Southern Ocean, to a standstill the windless Pacific Doldrums, four weeks in which crews went from one extreme to another. Then, drama and tragedy, this was a month like no other so far in the Volvo Ocean Race that saw results turn inside out as the fleet arrived in Asia.

Rolex Sydney Hobart controversy

With strong northerly winds the Southern hemisphere offshore classic was set to be a record breaker from the start. The duel between two of the biggest and fastest super maxis in the world was attracting attention too. But no one had predicted the controversial outcome.
