Less than a week ago, 15 year old Oscar Rorvik (Tauranga) won the second leg of the P class double - the Tauranga Cup. He won the Tanner Cup the week before, joing an elite group of New Zealanders including Chris Dickson and Dean barker who have won both trophies.

Yesterday Oscar was out on BMW Oracle Racing with skipper Russell Coutts, himself a winner in the P class, of the Tanner Cup, back in 1978.

In this photo essay from Gilles Martin-Raget, one of the worlds top sailing photographers, he describes the young sailor's day with some of the most successful sailors in the world, as BMW Oracle Racing practiced against Team Origin (GBR) in preparation for the Louis Vuitton Pacific Series on Auckland's Waitemata harbour.
