Ask a professional sailor what his most precious resource is, and most will say it's 'Time'. Surely it's Wind or Water, isn't it? Well, that bit we can't control, but how we use our time we certainly can control. Here is some background to how and why Rob Greenhalgh structured his Tour Voile campaign, getting his Oman Sail Farr 30 sailing team up to speed in a matter of weeks during the spring of 2010....
In just 12 months Stuart Bithell's career has gone from a little known Olympic journeyman to one of the world's top 470 crews, Merlin Rocket National Champion helmsman, and Champion of Champions on the British dinghy scene after winning the Endeavour Trophy...
The second edition of the SailJuice Global Warm-up brings together four of the biggest winter handicap racing events into a unified series, to find out just who is tough enough to race their way through the brutal cold of a British winter. Earlier this year competitors battled their way through the first ever Global Warm-up, and this winter's early snow hints at another tough challenge ahead....
Nick Dewhirst has been a thorn in the side of ISAF these past few years, leading a global charge to get the multihull back into the Olympic Regatta for Rio 2016. In the build-up to the ISAF Annual Conference in Athens, Nick says why he thinks the multihull will be invited back in from the cold and back into the bosom of Olympic sailing...
Russell Coutts has turned the professional sailing world on its head with the announcement that the next America's Cup will be contested in 72-foot wing-masted catamarans. Justin and Andy examine the implications...
Audio (2 minutes): The 2007 and 2008 Laser World Championships in Portugal and Australia were windy, and Tom Slingsby won both of them. He's also won two Skandia Sail for Gold Regattas in Weymouth in 2009 and 2010. The young Aussie talks about the technique that makes him so devastatingly quick upwind in the breeze...
Emirates Team New Zealand is competing on the Audi MedCup Circuit as a test bed for everything they do as and when there is an America's Cup for the Kiwis to get their teeth into. Team coach Rod Davis says one of the key areas that they are focusing on is how the sailing and design teams work together. "My job is to try to promote the learning process between the sailing and design teams, to build up the communication between the different parts of the team," he says. "It's a good dress rehearsal for the same process that we'll have to go through when we start building up to the next America's Cup."
Professional sailing teams love to measure stuff. If it can be calibrated, it will be calibrated. And so America's Cup teams will go through 200 or more keel bulb designs, and test hundreds if not thousands of hull shapes, sail shapes, mast configurations, deck layouts, and so on. But what about the human element? Do sailing teams invest as much time and effort in perfecting the human technology on board the boat? 
Justin reports back from the TP52 Audi MedCup event in Cascais, while Andy has been speaking to Phil Jones about his controversial recommendations on the future of Olympic sailing ....
Phil Jones has been telling SailJuice about the radical recommendations by ISAF's Olympic Commission for the future of Olympic Sailing. For anyone who desires the status quo, the Olympic Commission's report won't make for comfortable reading. But if sailing is to survive and thrive as an Olympic sport, then ISAF and the politicians really need to sit up and take note of Jones's team's findings....
The last few years have seen Rob Greenhalgh make a successful transition from skiff world champion to one of the most sought-after offshore racers. The Brit has a busy season ahead, skippering an Oman Sail entry in the Tour Voile and still squeezing in some 14 and 18-foot skiff racing. Although he couldn't say at the time of the interview, he has since been confirmed as rejoining Puma Racing for the American team's second assault on the Volvo Ocean Race...
