The second rise of the 18ft skiff?
The JJ coming to Europe and ISAF recognition could work wonders for the ultimate skiff class

STOP PRESS: Thumbs down for Alinghi in appeal

With news of the JJ Giltinan Trophy coming to Europe in 2009, so Rob Greenhalgh and Andy Richards, head of the UK class, look at the implications of this. At Princess Sofia Ben Ainslie yesterday had two wins. Ainslie is also to compete at this weekend's Red Funnel regatta. While France's Sarah Steyaert took the lead at the Laser Radial World Championship yesterday so today China's own Lijia Xu has moved into pole. See the report from the J/109s on the opening weekend of Raymarine Warsash Spring Series.

Despite global recession looming, so eight new TP52s and a number of Cup teams are due to take part in the Audi MedCup this year. Race Director Nacho Postigo helps us preview this year's circuit. The new Mean Machine is now en route to Europe. See the report from Saturday's Solo Racing Festival.
