In baseball, it’s 3 strikes and you’re out! It is official….this is a record for the number of days at the beginning of the Louis Vuitton Cup without a race. The bad news is that tomorrow is still the same synoptic situation. Friday things start to change a bit and there is a bit of […]
O for 2. No wind again. Very frustrating for the TV rights holders…those who invested a great deal to broadcast the races live in their home countries. Of course it is frustrating for the spectators too. Imagine the people who have planned trips to Valencia, paid money for the hotel and rides on boats to […]

My first stint with Desafio came to an end earlier this month. I was just getting comfortable with the boats and the team when it was time to return to California. My family is taking high priority right now, so although it was not ideal in terms of timing, it is important for me to […]
It is the beginning of a new year and there is plenty going on. In the spring in Spain the Louis Vuitton Cup will be a great spectacle as it always is, and the America’s Cup will be raced for the 32nd time. In the ramp up toward the Olympic Games in China the ISAF […]
I have taken a consulting position with Desafio 2007, the Spanish America’s Cup team, through March 30. I arrived a week ago and have to say that walking into a program like this, when it is up and running on all cylinders, is quite impressive. In all my past America’s Cup involvements, I have been […]
