Barcelona 11 TP-52’s are here in Barcelona and were ready to get the first race of this series underway today. Unfortunately, the wind wasn’t so no races were held. The forecast for tomorrow is a bit better so we are hopeful. For more information go to www.medcup.org Paul
Marseille No racing again today. There were 40 knots of wind in the Gulf de Lyon. Quantum Racing, with Terry Hutchinson at the helm, won the regatta based on their great performance in the first three days. In fact, they won 4 of the 5 races including Friday’s costal race. Artemis finished last. This is […]
No race today. The Mistral is in and looks set to stay tomorrow too. The start time for tomorrow has been brought forward to 1100 to give us a chance but in reality, the forecast makes it very unlikely that we will race again here. 30-45 knots tomorrow with 2-3 meter waves.

Marseille Today we had the coastal race. The course was beautiful, taking the fleet around several islands and down along the coast eastwards to a city called Cassis. On Artemis we did not do much better than we have been doing all week. We finished 8th after blowing up 2 spinnakers during the race. We […]
Marseille Not the day we were imagining on Artemis. One positive of the day was that our speed seemed fine. We made a few adjustments and carded a more powerful jib so our speed appeared to be as good as any other boat on the track. However, our 6, 8 finishes are not going to […]
Tough day for Artemis in the light winds of Marseille. We did not have good speed upwind or downwind in the sloppy seaway. With scores of 7, 10, 9 we are firmly in control of last place. In fact in the second race we will probably get another point of penalty for racing with a […]
We had a pretty good day on Katusha. The winds were 15-20 knots from the west and very shifty. Fun downwind! Guenaddi had to leave last night so we had a guest helmsman, Maxim Logutenko who is also Russian. In the first two races we did very well passing boats downwind in the planing conditions […]
No racing today. Too much wind. Better forecast for tomorrow. Unfortunately, our owner and helmsman Guenaddi had to leave tonight for a work appointment tomorrow so he won’t be here for racing tomorrow. We will have a replacement helmsman, also from Russia, Maxim Logutenko. Gala dinner tonight for the teams. 1030 start tomorrow. Paul
June 11 will be a day Guenaddi will remember for a while. It is the day he won his first sailboat race. After a three hour postponement, the fleet racing got underway at 1500 in 12 knots from the southeast. Four races were run today with the last one finishing at 1915. Long day. The […]
