Named after Jethou island near France, Jethou 77 is one of the best looking race yachts on the water at the moment. Having the potential to outpace and outperform. This yacht is competing in several regattas, including Rolex Giraglia, Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez and Tre Golfi Sailing Week.

The 77ft beauty by Judel/Vrolijk belongs to Sir Peter Ogden, an English businessman, whose passion for sailing steered him to name this yacht after his Channel Island. His all-black Jethou 77 is now back in the game with an elongated stern increasing her LOA from 72 to 77ft.

Preferred apparel

To support the skyscraping winning attitude of the team, CODE-ZERO is making sure that the crew is equipped with high quality products to achieve their full potential.

This full carbon yacht with an extra long bow sprite is manual power. Managed by 21 crew members she can reach 30 knots of speed downwind. The tactician on this crew, Brad Butterworth, is a 4 times winner of the America’s Cup.

Jethou joins the Europeans on a high, having ended her 2021 season as the outright maxi yacht winner at Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez. So, if you see an all-black yacht that stops you in your tracks – now you know what she is.

Loro Piana Giraglia

Loro piana giraglia sets sail with early maxi class leads for jolt and wallyño.

The first of four days of inshore racing at Loro Piana Giraglia got under way today on the Bay of Pampelonne, close to Saint-Tropez.

Organised by the Yacht Club Italiano in collaboration with the Société Nautique de Saint-Tropez, these inshore and coastal races form the third event in the International Maxi Association’s 2024 Mediterranean Maxi Inshore Challenge, which began at the beginning of May with PalmaVela.

Today the 23 maxis competing in the inshores (Alessandro del Bono’s brand new Judel/Vrolijk 80 Capricorno has yet to put in an appearance) raced two windward-leewards in winds ranging from six to 13 knots from an easterly onshore direction with the overcast sky eventually giving way to sunshine. The fleet was divided into two starts with the 100 footers and Roberto Lacorte’s FlyingNikka down to the former 72s in the first, Maxi A, and the second, Maxi B, ranging from the Marten 72 Kuujjuaq down to the Brazilian Swan 77 Invictus and the 60 footers Wallyño of IMA President Benoît de Froidmont and Guido Paolo Gamucci’s Mylius 60 canting keel Cippa Lippa.

In Maxi A the big boats saw the opening race podium under IRC corrected time occupied by Sir Peter Ogden’s 77ft Jethou followed by Chris Flowers’ 100ft Wallycento Galateia and Peter Harrison’s Jolt (ex-Cannonball). Jethou went on to finish sixth in the second windward-leeward which was won by Jolt, leaving Peter Harrison’s team overall leader in the class after the opening day.

“It was quite simple,” reported Sir Peter Ogden, from his regular table in Saint-Tropez’s Café de Paris post racing. “We had a great start in the first race and in the second had a very bad start, ducked everyone at the top mark and didn’t win! But it was lovely – flat water and sunshine and good breeze and it was very nice and enjoyable. Saint-Tropez is a favourite place – where else in the world can you come and sit here and watch the world go by…”

Having been runner-up at the recent IMA Maxi Europeans in Sorrento, Jethou is back on form, this year with Ian Walker standing in for Brad Butterworth in the tactician’s spot. “We have got water ballast now which helps and we have done some other small mods, but the boat is definitely competitive compared to last season. Plus our starts are generally great now,” concluded Ogden.

With a 5-2 today, Karel Komárek’s 100ft V was third overall in Maxi A and leading the IMA Maxi sub-class 1 for the 100 footers (down to the ClubSwan 80 My Song) until losing a protest this evening. Their success today was directly down to the quality of their starts, admitted tactician Ken Read. “In the first race we had a bad start and we cleared out and got ourselves back in the hunt. Then we found a way to drop a couple of boats with a bad drop at the leeward gate – that wasn’t our best race. In the second race we got a good start and led all the way. Today was a classic case of ‘you can’t win the regatta on the first day, but you can lose it…'”

Of the conditions the  North Sails  President added: “The first race was pretty weird with lots of little cells going by. The second race was 13 knots and beautiful racing in stunning Saint-Tropez conditions.”

Over the winter all of the 100s have been fitted with water ballast and had their keels lightened and in their new more racey sub-50 tonne guise, they are becoming increasingly competitive with the previously untouchable former Maxi 72s. “We can usually get away from them on the first leg if we can keep our lane,” continued Read. “Last year it wasn’t that easy. Now if we get a good start we can control our destiny.”

Following V’s penalty, Andrea Recordati’s Wally 93 Bullitt has moved up to third overall in Maxi A and is leading the IMA Maxi sub-class 1, narrowly ahead of Galateia.

If competition was tight in Maxi A, this was less the case today in Maxi B, where Benoît de Froidmont’s Wallyño won both races. In the first the slippery silver Wally 60 corrected out to 3:15 ahead of Guido Paolo Gamucci’s canting keel Mylius 60 Cippa Lippa X (last week’s runner-up in the 151 Miglia-Trofeo Cetilar) with old rival Jean-Pierre Barjon third on his Botin 65 Spirit of Lorina (here at Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez in 2019, Wallyño beat Barjon’s previous Lorina 1895 on the final leg of the final race to be crowned winner of that year’s IMA Mediterranean Maxi Inshore Challenge). In the second race the podium’s occupants remained the same but with Spirit of Lorina second and Cippa Lippa X third.

Remarkably these results continue Wallyño’s unbeaten track record of continuous bullets in Saint-Tropez that started here last year and continued on through last October’s Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez.

“We know the boat very well now,” commented a delighted de Froidmont. “St Tropez is definitely the place for Wallyño.” While his core crew led by tactician Cédric Pouligny remains the same, Wallyño is racing here with four new crew. “It was a good day for us definitely. I hope we can sail the same way tomorrow and for the rest of the event.”

Racing continues for the maxis tomorrow when a further two windward-leewards are scheduled. The forecast is showing the wind stronger at 15-20 knots from the southeast at start time dropping to 10 knots and veering as the afternoon progresses.

David Ogden Stiers, Major Winchester on ‘M*A*S*H,’ Dies at 75

By Anita Gates

• March 4, 2018

David Ogden Stiers, the tall, balding, baritone-voiced actor who brought articulate, somewhat snobbish comic dignity to six seasons of the acclaimed television series “M*A*S*H,” died on Saturday at his home in Newport, Ore., a small coastal city southwest of Salem. He was 75.

His death was announced on Twitter by his agent, Mitchell K. Stubbs, who said the cause was bladder cancer.

Mr. Stiers joined the cast of “M*A*S*H” in 1977, when Larry Linville , who had played the pompous and inept Maj. Frank Burns, left the show. The series, a comedy-drama set in a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital during the Korean War, required a foil for its raucous, irreverent, martini-guzzling leads, Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and B.J. Hunnicutt (Mike Farrell), and Mr. Stiers’s imperious Maj. Charles Emerson Winchester III seemed to fit the bill.

Winchester’s upper-class Boston priggishness, however, turned out to be balanced by impressive medical skills, a heartfelt appreciation of the arts, real wit and a surprising level of compassionate humanity. Winchester was, unlike Frank Burns, a worthy adversary.

From the beginning, Mr. Stiers said, he felt confident about playing Winchester. “It’s just a matter of isolating the traits” from others in his own personality, he told The Salt Lake Tribune in 1977. But he confessed to one definite difference between himself and his aristocratic character. “Where he wears a smoking jacket to bed,” he suggested, “I often wear nothing but socks.”

The role earned Mr. Stiers two Emmy nominations (in 1981 and 1982). He was nominated a third time, in 1984, for his lead role in “The First Olympics: Athens in 1896,” a dramatic mini-series.

In a statement after his death, Loretta Swit, who played Maj. Margaret (Hot Lips) Houlihan on “M*A*S*H,” called Mr. Stiers “my sweet, dear shy friend,” adding, “Working with him was an adventure.”

David Allen Ogden Stiers was born on Oct. 31, 1942, in Peoria, Ill., the son of Kenneth Stiers and the former Margaret Elizabeth Ogden. The family later moved to Eugene, Ore., where David graduated from high school.

After briefly attending the University of Oregon, he headed to California to pursue an acting career and worked with the Santa Clara Shakespeare Festival in California for seven years. In the late 1960s, he moved to New York to study drama at Juilliard.

There he became a member of John Houseman’s City Center Acting Company , making his Broadway debut with the company in 1973. He appeared in “The Three Sisters,” “The Beggar’s Opera” and three other plays, which ran in repertory.

He continued to appear on the New York stage in the 1970s and returned to Broadway later in his career, playing a beloved wartime general in the 2009-10 holiday run of “Irving Berlin’s White Christmas.”

Mr. Stiers had made his film debut with a small role in Jack Nicholson’s counterculture classic “Drive, He Said” (1971). That year, his voice was heard as the announcer in George Lucas’s debut feature film, the dystopian sci-fi drama “ THX 1138 .”

Voice roles went on to become an important part of Mr. Stiers’s career. He was in the cast of about two dozen Disney animated films, including “Lilo & Stitch” (2002), as the villain Jumba Jookiba, and “Beauty and the Beast” (1991), in which he was the voice of Cogsworth , a strong-willed pendulum clock. That character, often described as “tightly wound” and “ticked off,” suggests to the Beast at one point that he woo his love with “flowers, chocolates, promises you don’t intend to keep.”

Other movie work included roles in “Oh, God!” (1977), “The Man With One Red Shoe” (1985), “The Accidental Tourist” (1988) and four Woody Allen films. (He was a peculiar hypnotist in Mr. Allen’s “The Curse of the Jade Scorpion.”) His last screen appearance was in “The Joneses Unplugged,” a 2017 television movie about technology overload.

Like his “M*A*S*H” character, Mr. Stiers was a devoted fan of classical music . He conducted frequently and was the resident conductor of the Newport Symphony Orchestra (formerly the Yaquina Chamber Orchestra) in Oregon.

He never married. Some reports have suggested that he is survived by a son from an early relationship.

In early 2009, at 66, Mr. Stiers announced that he was gay and “very proud to be so” in a blog interview that was reported by ABC News. His secrecy, he said, had been strictly about the fear that openness about his sexuality might affect his livelihood. Now he regretted that.

“I wish to spend my life’s twilight being just who I am,” he said.

MASH star David Ogden Stiers is dead at 75

• Newsletter sign up Newsletter

Actor David Ogden Stiers, most famous for starring in the last six seasons of MASH , died Saturday at his home in Newport, Oregon, a town on the central Oregon Coast. He was 75, and his agent said the cause of death was bladder cancer. Stiers stepped in to play Maj. Charles Emerson Winchester III, a snobby Bostonian with serious surgical skills and wit, in 1977, when MASH star Alan Alda's previous foil, Maj. Frank Burns (Larry Linville), left the show.

Stiers was born in Peoria, Illinois, in 1942, then moved with his family to Eugene, Oregon. He started his acting career as a stage actor in Santa Clara, California, then moved to New York, making his Broadway debut in 1973. He was in several films, including voicing the clock Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast (1991), the villain Jumba Jookiba in Lilo & Stitch (2002), and the announcer in George Lucas' first feature film, THX 1138 (1971). Stiers also served as resident conductor of the Newport Symphony Orchestra. He never married, and he came out as gay in 2009. "I wish to spend my life's twilight being just who I am," he said at the time. You can watch him in action as Maj. Winchester below. Peter Weber
