Louis Vuitton Trophy-La Maddalena
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. The conditions were still light and the race was very tight. The Kiwi’s led at the firsts windward mark and down the run to the gate despite a few crew errors at both turns. Then up the second windward leg, the Russians got a break on the left side of the course and passed the Kiwis. The Russians stayed cool under pressure on the final run in very light winds to take the first race in the best of 5 series.
The forecast for tomorrow is for slightly better conditions than today…maybe 8-10 knots.
