RC44 Oracle Cup - Miami
_12 December 2010
_
Three races were held today off Miami's South Beach. The winds were 14-22
knots from the West which made it very shifty and tricky as this meant the
wind was coming off the shore.
It was a mixed bag in the results with Katusha and Artemis each winning one
of the three races.
Katusha ended up 7th in the fleet racing, one place behind Cereef. This
means we tie for this event, but they win the tie breaker. Then, we tie with
them for the year, and they win that tie breaker.
Artemis ended up 5th in the fleet racing and a very credible 2nd overall in
this Miami event and a very good 3rd overall to BMW ORACLE Racing and "17"
for the season.
So, that is the end of the 2010 sailing season. Very busy....maybe too much
so at times.
Artemis is continuing with our Extreme 40 training for a few more days down
here in Miami.
Next season will see Artemis and Katusha continuing with the RC44 circuit
beginning in San Diego in early March. We will also be racing on the Extreme
40 circuit which begins mid March in Oman.

Merry Christmas to all.
