Fletcher’s team, cheered on by a roaring hometown crowd, had looked sharp all weekend but fell just short in a shortened, high-drama final on the Solent. The Swiss SailGP Team, skippered by Sebastian Schneiter, grabbed third — a first-ever finals appearance for the team, and a weekend they won’t forget anytime soon.
Burling was all business on the podium. “Challenging conditions, but the team delivered,” he said. “We’re proud to be heading into the European swing as leaders.

For lovers of the sea, the thrill of spotting a unique, well-crafted yacht isn’t easily surpassed. Imagine then, the excitement mingled with the anticipation of having such admirable craftsmanship up for grabs.

Known as one of the most visually appealing Trinity constructions, CARPE DIEM marries functionality with an aesthetic superiority that’s hard to compete with.
