Well, that makes two of the worst days of sailing in my career. Today, we did not do much better than yesterday, despite fully debriefing yesterday and really focusing on what we were doing. We did manage to win the friendly rivalry match we have with Cereef today, where the skipper is Rod Davis. Rod […]
I think this was the worst start ever for me at a match race event in 25 years. Onboard Katusha, we were 0 and 4 to start. The worst part is that we were first to the first mark in every one of those races. Basically, one way or another, we managed to give the […]
No wind this morning meant no Petit Final for Artemis. Instead the race committee had to move straight into the finals when the wind filled around noon. In the first race of the day, the Russians on Synergy kept their winning ways from yesterday and took control right from the start, made it look easy […]
No racing for Artemis today. If wind permits, we will race All4One in the Petit final first thing Sunday morning. In the other semi final, the Russian team Synergy defeated All4One in 2 straight races in light winds. Following that, the first race of the final was run between Synergy and Emirates Team New Zealand. […]
Tough day for Artemis. The short story is we won the first race leading all the way around. The second race was abandoned after one lap when the Northeasterly died as the Northwesterly filled. The restarted second race was all about the left and ETNZ got the left at the start. They led all the […]
It was one of the better sailing days we’ve had here in La Maddalena. Just as Chris Bedford who provides the weather forecast for ARTEMIS predicted, the wind started to build mid-morning. In the first race of the day, Emirates Team New Zealand were spot on with their timing for the pin end at the […]

La Maddalena, Sardinia No racing for Artemis today. The Mistral was strong this morning and racing got underway with the first match at 1530 in about 18 knots of wind.Mascalzone Latino beat TeamOrigin to move up to 5 wins. The Italian team could tie for first in the round robin with that win depending on […]
Big day for Artemis. In our only match of the day, which did not get underway until 1830, we beat Emirates Team New Zealand by 17 seconds to take solo possession of first place. After a tough pre-start with Artemis entering from the left side on port tack, Dean Barker, helmsman of ETNZ, had control […]
Only one race was held today before the Mistral kicked in. In a rematch of the annulled BMW Oracle vs. Emirates Team New Zealand match, the Kiwi’s prevailed and moved into a tie for third place on 4 wins. So the top of the leader board is shared by Artemis and Synergy. Synergy is done […]
