Speaking about the Match Race, Skipper Terry Hutchinson said: “It was
not an easy or obvious race track but we were going fast. That was a
really really good race.”
Two fleet races swiftly followed for the fans lining the shore along
Marina Green. Good starts for both Artemis Racing AC45s in the second
fleet race, saw Santiago Lange’s Artemis Racing – Red place second
while Hutchinson’s Artemis Racing – white was third.
“This racing is awesome. It’s the best I’ve ever done in any boat. I’m
so happy to be here and it’s really what sailing should be about,” said
Artemis Racing’s Santiago Lange, a two-time Olympic bronze medalist in
the Tornado class who is making his ACWS debut this week. “I’m still
getting used to steering while looking around to see the marks and the
boundaries and all the lights, but this is really great racing.”
At the end of the day, the Artemis crews are tied on points in the
fleet racing, which continues tomorrow afternoon.
