About Us

Sailing News Now was founded by Gavin Vasilescu to give sailors a quick, reliable way to stay connected to the sport. Every day, we distill the latest racing results, gear news, cruising adventures, and everything happening on the water into a concise read that fits into a busy sailor’s routine. Whether you’re chasing finish lines, setting sail for a weekend cruise, or just curious about what’s making waves, our goal is to bring the sailing community together with lightning-fast coverage.

What started as Gavin’s side project, sharing race highlights and news with friends, quickly grew into a platform with readers across different fleets and clubs. A competitive sailor himself, Gavin brings the perspective of someone who has raced, coached, and lived the sport. The goal has always been simple: cut through the noise and deliver sailing news that captures the energy of the sport without requiring hours of scrolling.

We cover the full spectrum of sailing, from inshore and offshore racing to cruising, gear, Olympic dinghies, tech features, youth development, and industry insights. Each section is curated to bring you fresh stories, racing recaps, innovations, and community moments that keep you connected to the water. 

Looking ahead, Gavin and the team are committed to growing Sailing News Now into a go-to hub for sailors everywhere—something you can count on for a quick update before rigging up or a deeper dive into the stories shaping our sport.
