Lange’s ARG Winged Tornado for Artemis: The Video
We published a photo last year, this is the footage of that session.
Santiago Lange, double Tornado Olympic medalist wchamp for Argentina with Camau Espínola, is now part of the Design & Sailing crew for Artemis Racing, using his Beijing Olympic T for a Wing test at Valencia in 2011.
Now the AC72 is in full construction and they also tested a huge wing on an Orma60 Tri with modified wp amas.
Santi is a Naval architect, (SouthHampton) he works at Artemis with countryman Juan K on his design studio, and he is also the reserve helm. The perfect liason for both ends, as Juan K is a genius but he never designed a Multi. Expect some break ground innovation from JK. The data I have is that their daggers will have a lateral pivot feature, or it can be a dagger ‘a la’ Mayfly?. Will try to get Santi’s update on the AC72.
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.

Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
