In a sport shaped by tradition, innovation, and the continued contributions of dedicated organizations, partnerships like this reflect the evolving ways sailors learn, connect, and celebrate their experiences.

Landfall’s roots in seamanship and safety, paired with Ultimate Sailing’s lens on the sport’s energy and artistry, create a richer offering for the community.

At its heart, this collaboration is a recognition of what both organizations have always believed: that sailing is supported not only with the right tools, but with the stories, moments, and imagery that remind us why we seek the water in the first place.

After more than 2,200 miles of surfing down the Pacific, crews charge into the Moloka‘i Channel running on adrenaline, salt, and whatever remains in the snack bag. The wind is still up, the water is stacked, and the Hawaiian light turns golden. It’s the kind of moment photographers dream about.

It’s not every day you see sails gliding across the edge of a desert. But in Paracas, Peru, where golden dunes spill down to meet the Pacific, that’s exactly what you find — a sight so surreal it almost defies logic.

Timeless yachts, legendary sailors, and a championship decided on the final day — the 2023 12 Metre Worlds in Newport, Rhode Island, had it all.

It’s a twofer! We’ve combined Ultimate Sailing Calendar’s March and May features into one blog because all of these spectacular images were taken by the same dynamic duo.

Oh, that water! That sparkling, rich royal blue that caresses the yachts as they hurtle toward Honolulu on the Transpacific Yacht Race, as depicted in the April 2025 pages of the Ultimate Sailing Calendar.

We have excitedly shared Gilles’ exquisite work before in the Ultimate Sailing Calendar, and this month focus on the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup in Porto Cervo. Here an impressive fleet of more than 40 behemoth, majestic maxi yachts battled their rivals and the seas, off the blustery coast of Sardinia.
