TP 52-Audi Med Cup-Cartegena

Two races were held today in 14 knot, Easterly winds off the South coast of Spain. Artemis had an ok day….middle of the fleet in both races. We made a strategic decision this morning to not get in any close situations, no possible fouls, to just sail clean and see where the chips would fall. […]
