America's Cup World Series - Venice
Racing in Venice’s Grand Canal presented a full set of challenges
for the nine teams racing in the America’s Cup World Series today.
The French and Italian teams flourished, but it was a tough day for
Terry Hutchinson and the crew onboard Artemis Racing.
Second row starts in both fleet races translated into two 7^th place
finishes. Then a clear start in the third ‘spare’ race (which only
counts if racing is cancelled on ‘Super Sunday’) the Swedish team took
second.
“It was disappointing. The fleet is too good and the racetrack is what
it is. So if you don’t get away clean, or are a bit unlucky, there are
not a lot of opportunities. Once you get your nose out and get clear,
the race course becomes a lot easier,” said Hutchinson.

“It was a tough day, hard for the guys on the boat. A real whipping!
They worked so hard and we are under a lot of pressure out there.
There is more to come and therein lies the opportunity. We need to
figure out what we can do better to get the boat away clean off the
line. The start is everything and there is plenty of room for
improvement,” continued Hutchinson.
Looking ahead to tomorrow, racing continues in the Grand Canal with two
fleet races and the semi-finals for the Match Racing. Artemis will
line up against France’s Team Energy in the semis. The forecast is for
similar conditions with 8-10 knots of wind.
