Here Come The Puma Moths!
Posted 6 months, 21 days ago by Sailogs
From our friends at Puma Ocean Racing...
Get Back Out There!
The PUMA Ocean Racing Bladerider Moths will be sailing in the 2009 International Moth World Championships. This event will take place August 6 – 15 in Cascade Locks, Oregon, USA.
Moth Worlds are one of the premier events in competitive dinghy sailing, attracting top-level sailors from around the globe. The entry roster includes countries such as the United States, Australia, Great Britain, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Japan, and Belgium.
After finishing an amazing journey with PUMA's boat 'il mostro' in the Volvo Ocean Race, PUMA Ocean Racing is excited to have two top sailors compete in the Moth Worlds using the PUMA Bladeriders. PUMA Ocean Racing is all about high adrenaline sailing and the foiling Moths that 'fly' over the water are another exciting way to bring that to the sailing audience and beyond. The foiling moth class is relatively new, but features some of the best young talent.
PUMA's Moths will be sailed by Brad Funk (USA) and Glenn Raphael (AUS). These are the very same boats that joined the PUMA Ocean Racing Volvo Ocean Race crew in the stopovers around the world.
Brad returns to the PUMA family after sailing the Moths during the Volvo Ocean Race Boston Stopover. He is currently sailing in the Laser and International Moth Classes. Additionally, Brad sailed in the Laser Worlds in 2007 and 2008, and he's slated to attend the 2009 Laser Worlds a week after finishing Moth Worlds. A candidate for the 2008 Olympics, Brad is currently campaigning for the 2012 games.
Glenn Raphael is a welcomed addition to the PUMA program. Hailing from Australia and now living in the United Arab Emirates, Glenn has vast experience on the international sailing scene. He’s currently sailing in the International Moth Class and has participated in both the 18-foot skiff and Olympic 49er classes. This will be Glenn's third appearance at the Moth Worlds, having sailed there in 2007 and 2008.
PUMA will be blogging from the 2009 Moth Worlds on http://www.pumaoceanracing.com as well as following the event on the PUMA Ocean Racing Facebook page, through Twitter updates and posting event photos on Flickr.

The “Kitty” Backs College Sailing
Posted 9 months, 11 days ago by Sailogs
I'll be the first to admit being leary of Puma's intentions when they came into the sailing scene, even more so of the idea that Puma gear would provide serious protection from Mother Nature's wrath. I've been pleasantly swayed in favor of the kitty's support. Further more, impressed with the enthusiasm and last minute support to the ICSA National Semi-Finals here at Fan Pier.
To top it all off, looks cool!
So a shout out to Puma for embracing the sport. For all you folks still on the fence, I've put the gear to the test and DRY DRY DRY.
One last little thank you goes to Puma's marketing, creative media department and public relations. The video footage rocks the socks of anyone interested in a good story. Especially this collaboration with RipeTV:

Dean Barker: I'm the world's best sailor
Posted 1 year ago by Valencia Sailing
Spanish sailing journalists call him the "sad kiwi" because his face seems to reflect a permanent state of sadness. Whether winning the Louis Cup in Valencia on the helm of Emirates Team NZ or the Copa del Rey in Palma on the helm of the Spanish King's TP52 Bribón, Dean Barker, the kiwi match racing maestro, never cracks a smile.
Regardless of whether one prefers the flamboyant Spaniards or the austere Kiwis, Barker's statement that he considers himself to be the world's best sailor comes as surprise. Talking to New Zealand newspaper Sunday Star Times, Barker believes he's better than Brad Butterworth or Russell Coutts, the other kiwi rock stars of the world sailing scene.
Even if he's one of the world's greatest helmsmen, I find it quite pretentious to make such a claim. He might have to opportunity to prove it next week on his home waters even if Butterworth will be on the Alinghi boat calling tactics and Ed Baird will be on the helm.
