This morning, just after 5 AM CET, Conrad Colman crossed the finish line of his second Vendée Globe, completing a grueling race across three oceans, rounding three legendary capes, and covering nearly 23,906 nautical miles of the theoretical course. 21st overall | 4th among non-foilers | Battling with the top 3 throughout the race and finishing just over 24 hours behind the first of them. He crossed the line only 13 minutes behind the legendary Jean Le Cam — an extraordinary achievement!

Sailmaking isn’t just a craft—it’s a battle against the elements, a dance between precision and passion. Last year, One Sails and Onesails Palma threw themselves into an 8-part video series, chronicling the creation of five sails for the legendary Wally 100. This isn’t just any boat—it’s the pinnacle of performance cruisers, and building sails for it was a challenge that pushed us to our limits and reminded us why we do what we do.

Kuka 3, owned by Franco Niggeler, claimed a stunning victory at the 45th edition of the Middle Sea Race, securing both the ORC overall scoreboard and class win. This year’s race proved to be quite the challenge, with the fleet facing two brutal storms packing winds over 50 knots, interspersed with stretches of frustrating calm. A key factor in their success was the brand new full inventory of 4T FORTE Sails, which powered them through both the fierce gales and the windless lulls. On board, they had experienced OneSails sailors, including Samuele Nicoletti and Sandro Montefusco, whose expertise played a crucial role in managing the changing conditions.

After 17 intense trials and a point-to-point battle, Sagola SailingTeam - the Farr 45 of Fornich-Battistoni-Sorrentino, helmed by Peppe Fornich - won the overall victory in the championship, taking the coveted trophy! The competition, which involved about 500 boats, began in April and ended in late September with this incredible feat. We would like to give special applause to the entire crew for their determination and commitment. And a big recognition to our Paolo Giumarra of Onesails Sicily for his contribution in the team!
