Video Alert: Cameras, Crowds, and One Big Collision
Video - Day 2 in 60 seconds
Fantastic conditions for the second day of Act 5, Cowes. The Extreme Sailing Series famous for attracting huge crowds, and today they poured to the shoreside in their thousands to catch the action. And in the big breeze, there was plenty of it – nose-dives, pitch poles, spray everywhere and one BIG collision between Artemis Racing and Groupe Edmond de Rothschild.
Big crash on day 2 of Act 5
In the fourth race on the second day of the Extreme Sailing Series Act 5 from Cowes, France’s Groupe Edmond de Rothschild ploughed into Sweden’s Artemis Racing at the top mark resulting in severe damage to both boats – bad enough to end their racing for the day. A busy night in the pitlanes is expected to get them racing again tomorrow.
Cowes Contenders – Home Advantage?
British sailors Paul Campbell-James (helm Luna Rossa) and Leigh McMillan (helm The Wave, Muscat) are racing on ‘home’ waters here at Act 5 of the Extreme Sailing Series at Cowes. Leigh was born on the Isle of Wight and spent his whole life racing on these waters, often against his friend and rival on Luna Rossa. In 2010 Paul won the Cowes round, then skipper of The Wave, Muscat, now Leigh is skipper of the same team. Who will make the best use of their local knowledge and come out on top of Act 5 2011.
