Extreme Sailing Series - Istanbul_
Tagesbericht - ARTEMIS RACING
It was a long day today in Istanbul. We spent the first couple of days here
waiting for the gear to arrive and what could have been an absolute
logistical nightmare was somehow pulled off by the organizers and shippers.
The boats were rigged yesterday and we went out this morning for a training
session before getting into the regatta. The crew members sailing here are
Rodney Ardern, Julien Cressant and Morgan Trubovich. This is the first time
this group has sailed together and we are sticking with our long range of
plan of developing the relationships within our team as best we can around
some of these regattas. Ultimately, the AC 45 only has five crew and the
Extreme 40 has four crew, so we take the opportunities where we can get them
to mix and match.
The venue itself is tricky. One of those places where you are never really
out of it until the race is over. You fight for every point because you know
they are so valuable. We had seven races between 1400 and 1700 hours and I
can tell you I am completely knackered and I have the somewhat easy job on
the boat.
Rodney, Julien and Truby at any given moment are running around the boat
furling, unfurling, kite up. You get the point.....it's a fire storm pretty
much all the time. We ended the day at the top of the leader-board and
really that is about as good as the paper it is written on; 28 more races
and plenty of opportunity. For now we will focus on us as that is about all
we can control.
