Racing at the Hobie 16 World Championship in Jervis Bay, Australia reached the final stage with 56 boats battling it out for top spots.

From 20-23 February the 2014 Extreme Sailing Series anticipation comes to fruition as the starting gun is fired at the first act in Marina Bay, Singapore.

Anticipation turned to hope and then fear as first impressions of the day's winds appeared as though a repeat of the previous days still conditions were on the cards.

Glenn Ashby (AUS) regained the A-Class Worlds lead after the heaviest conditions of the week pushed the 81-boat fleet to the max.

Viggo Jacobsen (the father of the Optimist Dinghy class) turns 100 on 13 February 2014.

Taylor Canfield (ISV) and Lucy Macgregor (GBR) commence 2014 at the top of the Open and Women's ISAF Match Race Rankings.

Austria's Max Trippolt overcame compatriot Christian Binder in a winner takes all single race final at the ISAF Grade 3 Cleanport Winter Match Race in Izola, Slovenia.

Day two of the A Class World Championships started in more wind than predicted, and certainly more than expected with the breeze averaging 13 knots with puffs up to 17.
