AC45: Artemis back on the water
After the 1st capsize on the AC45, Artemis was back on the water this weekend with Argentine tornado sailor Santi Lange at the helm, Paul Cayard right behind him in this pic.
Artemis has two of our best talents on their team, with Lange and Juan K as part of the design team.
If you look close (clik to enlarge) you can see the transom add-on joined to the hull that I once posted (right between the ‘4’ & ‘5’) and below some loose rope/block connection too.
Cayard said it was an amazing ride, it makes me wonder what’s on the old guard still talking bad vibes on multis when the top mono guys, their idols are enjoying the ‘dark side’, sadly they are slowly becoming the obscure ones…

I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
