Tough day, but Artemis is still in the hunt
America's Cup World Series - San Francisco
Today was Giant’s Day at the America’s Cup World Series with a full
fleet sail by at the AT&T Giant’s Stadium before the Match Racing
Semi-finals got underway, followed by two fleet races.
Terry Hutchinson and the crew on Artemis Racing – White lined up
against ORACLE Team USA Coutts in the first match race. Four-time
America’s Cup winner, Russell Coutts won the pre-start and the AC45s
battled around the course. At the windward gate Coutts beat Hutchinson
into the three boat length circle, protecting the American team from
having to give way to Artemis on starboard. Both boats sailed a good
race, but the win went to Coutts who will now race stable mate Jimmy
Spithill in the finals tomorrow.
“It was a tough day. As we expected, Russell (Coutts) was feisty in
the pre-start. We left just a little too much room,” said Skipper Terry
Hutchinson. “In the fleet racing, we weren’t as quick today as we were
yesterday. It was about as shifty and as tricky as you see it on San
Francisco Bay at this time of year. Hats off to Jimmy and those guys
who sailed well today.”
In the fleet racing, Artemis Racing - White took a 6^th and 4^th, while
Artemis Racing – Red was 9^th and 11^th.
Racing wraps up tomorrow with the Super Sunday final fleet race which
counts for triple points. “We definitely are in the hunt, it’s all to
play for tomorrow,” said Dave Perry, Artemis Racing’s Rules Advisor.
