Action on the water in Cascais & Cowes
The ACWS didn’t disappoint today as spectators lining the shore watched the
fastest boats, sailed by the world’s best sailors, here in Cascais.
With winds of up to 20 knots and clear blue skies, the setting was perfect
for a long fleet race, followed by three speed trials for the AC45s. The
crew of five onboard Artemis Racing worked intensely, with minimal recovery
time, throughout the 45 minute race.

“We battled today,” said Skipper Terry Hutchinson. “We didn’t get the best
start in the fleet race, which put us in a difficult spot. It was a day of
getting whipped! These are the days that we’ll learn from as we move
forward.”
ORACLE Racing Coutts won today’s fleet race, stealing victory from Emirates
Team New Zealand after a member of the crew fell overboard. The Kiwis did
their best to hang on, but Coutts managed to grind down the shorthanded New
Zealand crew just a few hundred meters from the finish, giving the American
team victory in the race and second place overall, with Sweden’s Artemis
Racing in third spot for the ACWS preliminaries.
After hauling out the AC45 (which is a full team effort) the sailing team
debriefed and caught up with teammates in Cowes before heading to tonight’s
crew barbeque.
Racing continues on Wednesday.

_Extreme Sailing Series – Cowes_
Meanwhile, day two of the Extreme Sailing Series in Cowes was also action
packed. In the team’s first race of the day, Groupe Edmond de Rothschild
ploughed into Artemis Racing resulting in severe damage to both boats, which
meant the end of racing for both teams for the day.
Artemis Racing, helmed by Santiago Lange, tacked in for the top mark on to
starboard in front of Groupe Edmond to Rothschild, who were on port. Artemis
Racing went through the tack and helmsman Pierre Pennec attempted to bear
away around her stern, but the boats crashed – two of the French crew were
thrown into the water.
Helmsman Santiago Lange was taken to hospital for stitches in his hand.
The team is currently assessing the damage to determine when the Artemis
Racing Extreme 40 will be back on the race course and preparing for tomorrow
morning's protest hearing.
