Sail-World.com : Louis Vuitton Trophy - Artemis one down
Louis Vuitton Trophy - Artemis one down
|
Paul Cayard reports from the Louis Vuitton Trophy Auckland, where he is onboard Artemis.
A Southerly weather change is approaching Auckland so the winds were backing from the West to the South and have strengthened significantly. We finished up as with last match of the day in 18-20 knots of wind from the Southwest. We got another win today, this time off Synergy, the Russian team. It was a tough fight, so good training for the future.
In the first match of the day, Origin had the better of Emirates Team New Zealand on the first windward leg and around the top mark. On the first run, the Brits had a problem getting their jib hoisted and this allowed the Kiwis to take over the lead and the race. This is the second time in a row that the Kiwis have had a bit of luck on their side.
Mascalzone Latino Audi Team got a win today from the French team Aleph and ALL4ONE beat Azzurra to hand them their first loss. Boat handling was a feature in many of the races today.
Tomorrow's forecast is for more wind, so we may have to hold on the dock. This early in the series the priority is to keep the equipment intact.
Scores
ETNZ 3 wins
