AC45s at Plymouth: Day 3 Replay
AllPhotos:©2011 ACEA/Gilles Martin-Raget–
Artemis won 2 out of three on a consistent day, and Oracle teams failed like amateurs consdering their time on the AC45s. Come on Bundy, grab that helm asap…
But the highlight of the day to me was Loick Peyron and his Energy Team crew.
Clearly the fastest up and downwind. Just look at the replay below.
Loick also managed the +25knots from Sunday with experience and being ‘conservative’ he had a good day and an impressive save on a huge gust where he steer like being on an A-class and his wingman respond instantly too, Spithill had one too, look the Capsize Club Video, this french team is improving each day as shown today.
On one of the most impressive comebacks ever Team New Zeland manage to recover from a false start, going back, then being almost a leg behind to end 2nd on the last race. Are you kidding me??? I have no experience racing on tractors, but if that possible on monoslowhull racing? don´t tell about a Slingby against 90 rookies on a Laser, i’m talking of teams with similar performance as shown up to now on the AC45s (TNZ; Oracles &Artemis)
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
