Santiago Lange, skipper of the Gold Medal winning Nacra 17 at the 2016 Rio Olympic Regatta dropped into his former America's Cup team, Artemis Racing in Bermuda.
The purpose of the visit was twofold - to experience sailing one of the fully foiling AC45S test boats owned by the Swedish America's Cup team, and also to give an independent view of where the team is at in terms of its development.
After a lacklustre 34th America's Cup in San Francisco, Artemis has had some good events in the America's Cup World Series and backed that up with winning 14 of the 23 races sailed in the four boat practice series over the last two weeks in Bermuda - just two behind
He explains his thoughts in this video on sailing the AC45S and his thoughts on the team's progress.
SANTI LANGE IN BERMUDAGreat to have friend of the team, and Nacra 17 Sailing Olympic champion, Santiago Lange, with us this week in Bermuda.
"My heart is with Artemis Racing and I wish them all the best for this America's Cup".
