TP52 – Audi MedCup – Cartagena

Not a great day for us, but all is not lost. We had a 7,6,7 and slipped into third in the season standings and 5th for this regatta. We made a big mistake in each of the three races; over the start line early in the first, fouled a competitor in the second and did […]

TP52 – Audi MedCup – Cartagena

Good day on Artemis today. We started the day in 4th place for the season and we are now in second. It was a tough day out there with plenty of carnage. Fortunately we did not break anything and while our 7, 2 scores were not perfect, they were better than Quantum Racing and Matador. […]

TP52 – Audi MedCup – Cartagena

Two Strikes Unfortunate situation….no racing again! There was wind most of the day, but it was very unstable, both in velocity and direction. The wind “ratcheted” its way from 110 to 210 over 4 hours. We had two attempted starts, but both were abandonned about 30 seconds to go due to 30 degree shifts. Pretty […]

TP52 – Audi MedCup – Cartagena

No racing today at the TP52 Audi MedCup. First, there was no wind so we were postponed ashore. Then, we went out at about 1400. A few squalls passed over the area pulling the wind all over the place. Then, it rained hard and it still is. Let’s hope tomorrow is better. Hard to be […]

I have just sailed the first two days as tactician on the TP 52 Flash. We won the day in our class today with a 3, 1 which puts us in second place overall in IRC A. Vincitore with Chris Dickson steering got a 2, 4 today and is in first overall by 3 points […]

Paul non stacca mai!

Paul, Paul e ancora Paul: Cayard non stacca mai, la sua è fame di vela, in tutte le sue forme. Come giudicare uno che ha vinto (quasi) tutto nella carriera velica, ha trionfato al giro del mondo, nel giro della Coppa America, nella grande altura, ha fortemente voluto e raggiunto le Olimpiadi in Star, e […]

SAP 505 World Championship

Here are some photos of us when we were the ‘rabbit’ during yesterday’s start. Final race today. Looking for another good one to move up into the top 5. More photos can be seen here

SAP 505 World Championship

Wow! That was a blast! I know I will wake up tomorrow sad. No need to slip into the trapeze harness. Bummer. We had a great last day…up at the front all day, finished 6th but just 6 seconds from 4th. SF turned it back on for the final day so everyone will be left […]

SAP 505 World Championship

Winds were 8-13 knots and the race course was pretty even. After a long delay, today’s sole race got underway at 1445. The […]
