The Olympic Clock Starts Ticking There are seasons in Olympic sailing — and then there are turning points.
2027 will be one of them.
With World Sailing confirming the key dates for the two-person Olympic events, the roadmap to Los Angeles 2028 has come sharply into focus. And with it, a logistical and competitive challenge that few athletes will navigate cleanly.
Because this isn’t just a championship year. It’s a qualification year.

Introducing the Aquila 42 Coupé, a fusion of agile performance and luxury befitting the most discerning of maritime enthusiasts. The coupé is not just a response to customers seeking fully enclosed shelter without the fuss, but a comprehensive reimagination of the sailing experience. Central to this innovation is the pioneering fixed carbon-fibre hydrofoil system. This system activates around 22 knots, leveraging the engines, freeing up the hull and translating into cruising speeds of 30-35 knots.
Brave the waters with a substantial reduction in fuel consumption, courtesy of the efficient hydrofoil system. Not just about speed, the Aquila 42 Coupé introduces a cruising range of 500nm powered by a pair of 440hp Volvo D6 sterndrives. An alternate propulsion option includes a pair of 400hp V10 outboards, although it cuts the cruising range by half.
