America's Cup World Series - Venice
Artemis Racing defeat Energy Team to move into Match Racing Finals
Artemis Racing was back in form today, winning one of the fleet races
plus both match races against Loick Peyron’s Energy Team, to progress
to the Match Racing Finals tomorrow.
“Yesterday was disappointing, but we debriefed it intensely. It was
nice to come back today and sail in the way that we know how to sail.
It was a really good team day,” said Skipper Terry Hutchinson.
Having won the Match Racing in Naples a few weeks ago, Artemis leads
the Match Racing Championships and is the only team to have been in the
match racing semi-finals of each of the five World Series events to
date.
Terry Hutchinson and the team will line up against Chris Draper’s Luna
Rossa – Piranha in the finals first thing tomorrow, before the speed
trials and “Super Sunday” fleet race.
“We were looking across today at one of the greatest legends in our
sport in Loick. It wasn’t easy out there,” said Hutchinson. “Tomorrow
we’ll be up against another really good, well sailed team in Luna
Rossa. Those guys are on their game. We are going to have our work
cut out for us.”
“Internally and externally we have high expectations for ourselves. We
also have a tremendous amount of experience in our team. Within that we
have to remind ourselves that we are actually a very new team. We have
been at this for 18 months, but that doesn’t seem to soften the
expectations. These opportunities and the pressure with the crew
rotation are going to make us better. I’m happy to give up a little in
the short term with a view make the team strong, because I know that is
going to be what makes us win the America’s Cup,” said Hutchinson.
