My Song, the Baltic 130 ‘(40 meters) of Pieluigi Loro Piana, was lost by the freighter that was bringing it back from the Caribbean to Genoa. She was to be present at the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta which begins on 3 June in Porto Cervo. Instead, what has become a wreck is now in the Balearic North Sea at the Gulf of Lion.

Anybody doing the Dun Laoghaire to Dingle race?
I saw some lads in Malahide today preparing their boat for it, and I have to say I was quite jealous.
Looks like line honours and the Seamus Gallagher cup will be wrapped up by Windfall;
my dad raced with Seamus on that inaugural race on board his First 51 Paragon.0 -

Not doing it but boat Ive been racing on a small boat last while is going down double handed but they got smacked in ICRA on Saturday so not sure if they will have repair work done in time. Few others I know are going down on fully crewed boats. Weather could be interesting0 -

D2D wasn't half as miserable as expected - the start was brilliant, 41 kites straight up off the line. Anyone down Wicklow head way would have seen some great broaching action, and a few ripped ones - the gybefest went wrong for a lot of boats, including us. Unfortunately, having been doing really well, we lost over 2 hours to getting it all sorted, so most of the whole fleet sailed past us, and we were never going to get that sort of mileage back.
But we had some great Code 0 sailing off the south coast, and across Dingle Bay - we finally landed in to the finish line with one solitary halyard left intact :eek:
Brilliant race, I'm delighted I got the chance to do it again after 12 years. Just a shame it went so wrong so early
