The Italian Navy's tall ship, Nave Palinuro, recently completed a series of high-profile appearances, showcasing its role as a living link between the past and future of Italian sailing.

First, off the coast of Cagliari, the historic schooner held a spectacular meeting at sea with the Luna Rossa AC40 racing yachts, symbols of modern America's Cup technology. The encounter between the ships, representing different eras, highlighted the deep connection across Italy’s sailing heritage. The crews later met ashore to share experiences and knowledge.

Just days later, Nave Palinuro was the guest of honor at the 20th Historic Sails Rally in Viareggio. The ship hosted local civil and military authorities for institutional visits and ceremonies. Organized by the Circolo Nautico di Viareggio, the event also allowed the local population to board the vessel, experiencing its history and traditions firsthand. The rally concluded with a memorable moment as Nave Palinuro set its sails alongside the other historic vessels, offering a final salute of "Faventibus Ventis" (Favorable Winds) to celebrate the art of seamanship and naval heritage.

These two events confirm Nave Palinuro’s status as a vital institutional and cultural symbol, successfully navigating the balance between timeless tradition and modern sailing challenges. Show more

🏆 Team Racing & Championship Highlights

The episode dove into the world of team racing and recent US Sailing events:

The Hinman Trophy: The discussion centered on the recent US Team Racing Championship at Larchmont Yacht Club. L\O\S (Larchmont, Oyster Bay, Seawanhaka) won, continuing their dominant streak which also includes the College Nationals and the UK's Wilson Trophy. Amanda Callahan is a fourtime Hinman winner. The 2024 Hinman will be at Norfolk Yacht and Country Club.
Team Racing Formats: Amanda discussed the global spread and future of team racing. She explained the difference between the "purest" form of 3v3 and the more spectatorfriendly 2v2. The World Sailing Team Racing World Championship will be held 2v2 in J80s in Sweden in 2026.
Annapolis 321: This unique regatta tests teams by rotating them through Match Racing in J/105s, 3v3, and 2v2 in the same round robin.
US Sailing Triple Header:
US Adult Championship: Held at the highest altitude ever for the event—Park City Sailing Association, Utah—and won by the Twin City Sailing Association group.
US Para Sailing Championship: Julie Smith (Hansa 303) and Michael Lung & Scott Cobb (Martin 16) were crowned champions in extremely tight racing in California.
SailGP: The German team won their first event, and the US team posted a solid performance but remains in negative points for the season.

⚖️ Weight & Watchability

Heavy Lifting: A pop quiz revealed that 326 pounds of trophies and cases were shipped to the US Youth Championship.
The Olympic Question: The hosts argued that team racing or match racing should be utilized in the Olympics. Their short, easily understood win/loss results would make sailing far more exciting and watchable for a TV audience.
