AC45-New Zealand

It was a fantastic day today on the Hauraki Gulf in the new AC45 prototype catamaran. Blue sky and 15 knots of wind from the Southwest made for a great training day for Artemis Racing. Following a strange incident on Monday whereby the hard wing sail was damaged, the Artemis team worked alongside the ACRM […]

Update from Auckland

Auckland February 23, 2011 Just a quick update from down here. The Artemis Racing team is based in Auckland this week for training and attendance in America’s Cup meetings. Auckland is approximately 450 miles north of Christchurch, the site of the large earthquake of February 22. No one on Artemis Racing was involved directly or […]

Update from Auckland

Auckland New Zealand, February 21, 2011 It was Mid December when I last wrote an update. No racing has taken place for Artemis since the RC 44 regatta in Miami but a lot has been going on with regard to our America’s Cup project. I was recently in Valencia for a couple of weeks working […]

Tom Blackaller Video

Lisa Blackaller | January 07, 2011 | YouTube I just had to share this clip with old friends in the America’s Cup world. This video clips and interview were done with my dad prior to his untimely death in 1989. He would certainly be thrilled and amazed that, yes in fact, the America’s Cup IS […]

RC 44 Miami

Some corrections. In my effort to get the report out quickly last night, I erred in my reporting of the seasons positions for both Artemis and Katusha. The good news is that I under reported. Artemis actually finished 2nd in the combined overall scoring for the RC44 2010 season to BMW Oracle and Katusha finished […]

RC 44 Miami

Three races were held today off Miami’s South Beach. The winds were 14-22 knots from the West which made it very shifty and tricky as this meant the wind was coming off the shore. It was a mixed bag in the results with Katusha and Artemis each winning one of the three races. Katusha ended […]

RC 44 Miami

Yesterday we finished up the match racing with a win on Katusha over Cereef. Aqua was the overall winner of the match racing beating Artemis in the one race final. Today was the first day of fleet racing and four races were held in 9-12 knots of wind from the north. The temperature has come […]

RC 44 Miami

Not a great day for Katusha at 2 and 4. The conditions were very shifty with strong winds early in the day. There are 14 boats in the fleet here in Miami with the addition of a new team from the states. So the fleet was divided into two groups for match racing today. Our […]

Louis Vuitton Trophy – Dubai, UAE

Today was a special day here in Dubai. The Louis Vuitton Trophy racing was put on hold so the six teams could race a traditional Dhow race. Dhows have plied the waters of the Arabian Gulf for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Nowadays, they race them regularly in fleets of up to 70 boats. […]
