TP52 World Championship

A good start to the Championship for Artemis today with a 3, 5, 2. We had to wait for a while this morning for the Southeasterly seabreeze to fill in but when it came in, it built nicely up to 17 knots in the second and third races. The race course just North of the […]

TP52 World Championship

The TP52 World Championship starts here in Valencia, Spain tomorrow (October 5). Artemis is here and ready to race in what will surely be a very competitive regatta. Nine boats are competing in the five day event which includes windward leewards and one coastal race on Thursday. Today we had a breezy westerly out on […]

Audi MedCup – Cagliari

One race was held today in Cagliari for the TP 52 fleet. The Mistral was in at 25-28 knots and there was plenty of action. On Artemis we had another good race finishing 4th, overlapped with Emirates Team New Zealand who just beat us. Matador had been leading the race at the second windward mark […]

Audi MedCup – Cagliari

No racing today. The little bit of wind there was went around in circles all day. Strong winds from the Northwest are forecast for tomorrow…Mistral. The race committee moved the start time up one hour to give us a chance for three races. To watch the racing live go to www.artemisracing.com. For complete results go […]

Audi MedCup – Cagliari

A good day for Artemis today. Once again the coastal race proved to be to our liking as we finished a very credible 3rd. The course zigzagged us across Cagliari Bay in 11-13 knots of wind from the South. Matador got off to a good start just to windward of us and we were 1, […]

Audi MedCup – Cagliari

Not a good day on Artemis. We had a 5, 9, 8. The wind was a Southeasterly sea breeze of 9-13 knots. We made a nice move on the last run of the first race to go from 9th to 5th. Other than that, our day did not have any highlights. We seemed to get […]

Audi MedCup – Cagliari

Today was the first day of the Audi Med Cup-Cagliari. Three races were held in 8-18 knots for the ten boat fleet of TP52s. Onboard Artemis our first and second races were good with a 3,6 and we were 2nd overall at that point. Then a bad start and going the wrong way on the […]

TP 52-Audi Med Cup-Cartegena

I hate to report this to you but we had a very bad day on Artemis. We still managed to finish 5th in the regatta, but the racing today could hardly have been more painful for us. The conditions were perfect for this final day; 15 knot Easterly breeze, blue skies, moderate swell and the […]

TP 52-Audi Med Cup-Cartegena

It was a long day in a strong breeze, so we are all a bit tired. In 18-23 knot East Northeasterlies, we raced a windward leeward race and followed that up with a two mile coastal race. Artemis had a good day with a 6, 2 although we did not sail smoothly and made plenty […]

TP 52-Audi Med Cup-Cartegena

A long day in the heat today. It was 44C (which is about 107F) 10 miles North of here today. We had a light seabreeze…enough to get three races in. It is 1930 and we are heading back to the hotel. The Brits on TeamOrigin are on fire so far here with all their finishes […]
