Sogeti Cup 2011 is taking place in Geneva, Switzerland. Paul Cayard of Artemis Racing reports all the action taking place.
Yesterday's Geneve-Rolle-Geneve was a stand alone race and counts in the season championship as a regatta, same value as the first two regattas where we finished third and fifth respectively. So after yesterday’s second place, Artemis Racing was tied for first place in the season with Foncia and Velti Group. That was pleasant news but there is still a long way to go for the season.
Today was the first day of the Sogeti Cup. The wind was very light on Lake Geneva and only two races were held. Onboard Artemis Racing we managed a 2, 7 and are in third place on the leader board for the Sogeti Cup, just two points behind Okalys and Velti Group.
The winds were six knots max and mostly three to four knots. Still the D35s sail at twice the wind speed so the racing is fast and fun. Torbjorn continues to enjoy the catamaran sailing and is learning fast. Tomorrow racing continues at
