AC-45 Auckland

A great day for Artemis Racing on the water here in New Zealand. Match racing in 15 knots from the East was on the menu and the team won three out of the four races to ‘win’ the day. The racing a very demanding physically for the five crew onboard. The average heart rate for […]

RC 44 Oracle Cup – San Diego

San Diego, A very good day for both Artemis Racing and Katusha with four wins each out of five races. On Katusha we were happy with our results but I would not characterize our sailing as smooth. Yet, we got the job done. For our first three races of the day, we had the “Curmudgeons” […]

The race course for this event is inside the Bay where it should be. The boats are berthed at the Broadway Street Pier. Looks like about 12 teams are here. […]
