RC44 Sweden Cup - Day 4
20 August 2011_
30 knots winds and 3 meter seas were waiting for the fleet this morning and
forced race officer Peter Luigi Reggio to hold the fleet ashore until 1400.
Thereafter, two nice races were sailed. The first in 15 dropping to 10
knots and the second in 10 to 8 knots. The forecast had the wind moving
left all day but it did the opposite.
Team Aqua had the best day with a 2, 4 closely followed by Cereef with a 5,
2.
The Artemis Racing team had a late night last night preparing for today’s
racing. After the collision yesterday, the KSSS team offered their boat to
Artemis for the reindexder of the series as they are guests just racing in
this event and Artemis is a contender for the entire season. This was a
generous offer by the host club of Artemis’ entry to the America’s Cup and
very appreciated.
Naturally, the crew of Artemis felt more comfortable with their mast and
sails so they changed the rig last night and worked until midnight to get
the boat race ready. This morning they were out sailing in the shelter of
the harbor to check everything.
Artemis had a reasonable day today with a 7 and a 6 to move up to 5^th
overall. Onboard Katusha we did not have a great day with a 11, 12 and fell
to 11^th overall.
Tomorrow is the last day of racing and the forecast is for nice conditions
with 8 to 12 knots and sunshine.
