Le week-end dernier s'est déroulé le Grand Prix de l'Armistice à Maubuisson, marquant la dernière régate du Birdyfish Vaikobi Trophy. Villiams et Alberto ont navigué avec le Birdyfish Blockheads et ont terminé à la 5ème place sur 11 équipages. BirdyFish
Harken's Skip Mattos wanted one thing from this refit - stay true to the heritage of this Herreshoff S-Class, but bring the deck layout and gear into the modern world. In our latest issue of At The Front, Skip talks about bringing this classic back to life, from replacing the deck to its first sail. Like many refits, the work continues this winter! Enjoy the process. Part 2 - https://lnkd.in/gdHjiNdRAt The Font - https://adobe.ly/3XKe8QV

"Sailing enthusiast Scott Herman was looking for a sailing program in Charleston, South Carolina, for his son who is on the autism spectrum. Upon learning that none of the sailing programs in his area were equipped to provide his son instruction, Herman decided to start his own camp." Harken signed on as a sponsor in 2023 and was thrilled to have Scott join us during the Annapolis Sailboat Show.

🏆 For the third time in a row, the America's Cup is New Zealand's Cup. The defender, Emirates Team New Zealand, brought the battle to the beaches of Barcelona and prevailed against INEOS Britannia in a showcase of innovation and talent in the foiling AC75s. The historic event also included both Youth and Women's America's Cups, nurturing the growth of our sport. A huge congratulations to the winners of the Auld Mug and the teams who put years of work into getting to the start line. Harken is honored to collaborate and push forward with these teams, who are At The Front. 📸: America's Cup
💥 Emirates Team New Zealand has drawn first blood. But in the best 7 of 13 race format, there’s still a long way to go. Since they first splashed, we’ve seen what incredibly complex machines these foiling 75 footers have proven to be. In the second segment of his interview, INEOS Britannia 's Freddie Carr gives an excellent summary of how power from cyclors gets into the sail plan to power the boat.

Big projects, small projects...there's nothing like seeing a boat come to life after a refit. 💥 In our latest issue of At The Front, we follow a few exciting refits— from complete system upgrades to subtle rigging tweaks. It seems like everyone has been busy in the shed, making improvements! 🚀We hope you enjoy watching these transformations as much as we do! Launch the issue here - https://bit.ly/4epy1DM
Status: OOO ⛵ Every year, the Harken USA factory shuts down for the afternoon to do what we love most - go sailing! Last week, Harken employees enjoyed a beautiful day on Lake Michigan for the annual Harken Sail Day. This year, we also celebrated the retirement of Jim Thomas after 27 years at Harken. But this might not be Jim’s last Sail Day—retirees are welcome to return each year, and many join us to reconnect with former colleagues and enjoy a day on the water.#HarkenSailDay

🏆 The quest for the Auld Mug continues today in Barcelona, Spain, with the second Round Robin of the Louis Vuitton Cup. The beaches are bustling and the crowds are vibrant. Our equipment is on board and our distribution partner, Equipyacht, is in the front row. There is no second
