2010 RC 44 World Championship-Lanzarote

A fantastic day for Katusha today with scores of 5, 5, 1. In the last race we played the shifts to stretch out to a massive 200 meter lead on the second place boat. Unfortunately, that boat was Sea Dubai and by finishing second, they beat us by one point in the fleet racing that […]

2010 RC 44 World Championship-Lanzarote

A very good day for Katusha today. We scored 2, 3, 5, 7 in the four races held in 10-15 knots of steady Southerly wind. A combination of good starts, good speed and minimizing maneuvers were the keys to a great day. We moved from 12th place overall to 7th, just three points out of […]

2010 RC 44 World Championship-Lanzarote

The first three races of the fleet racing part of the RC44 World Championship were held today in very light winds here in Lanzarote. BMW Oracle led the results with a 2, 5, 2 and USA 17, the winner of the Match Racing, is in second place. Artemis had a good day and is in […]

2010 RC 44 World Championship-Lanzarote

One final race was held this morning in the Petit Final and Final of the Match Racing. Unfortunately, both Artemis and Katusha lost to the BMW Oracle boats, so we finished 2nd and 4th respectively. For the overall World Championship, the results of the Match Racing will be combined with the Fleet Racing. So Artemis […]

2010 RC 44 World Championship-Lanzarote

Not a fun day on Katusha. We lost both of our races today in what were light and squirely winds. First of all, the race committee did shorten the series after the first half of the round robins were completed yesterday. We were fortunate there as we won the four way tie in our group […]

2010 RC 44 World Championship-Lanzarote

A good day for Katusha. We won three and lost two. We were just 6 seconds away from being 5-0. We beat BMW Oracle, Ceeref and Mascalzone Latino and lost to No Way Back and Team Austria both by three seconds. The wind was blowing off the land today and this made things very tricky […]

TP52 World Championship

Quantum Racing with Terry Hutchinson on the helm won the TP52 World Championship and Artemis finishes fourth losing the tie breaker with Synergy for 3rd. One race was held today in 8-10 knots from the East Northeast. Artemis had a decent start and played the shifts well to round the first mark 3rd. ALL4ONE, Synergy […]

TP52 World Championship

Another tough day for Artemis with an 8, 6. We are still in 4th place overall, but we are closer to 5th than third. The wind came up late today and we got racing at 1500 in 8 knots and fairly smooth seas. We just didn’t have a stellar day in any area, starts, tactics […]

TP52 World Championship

Not a good day for Artemis today. In moderate winds but very choppy seas, we finished 6th while Matador won easily. We had a good battle with Quantum all the way around the track, they were always just in front of us, tacking on us as much as they could but we held close and […]

TP52 World Championship

A great day for Artemis today with a 4, 1 which moved us into second place in the regatta. The start of racing was delayed again today while the Easterly seabreeze established itself. The Easterly wind was very spotty and shifty which made for extremely tricky racing. Onboard Artemis, we had two excellent starts again. […]
