Normandy Channel Race: A breathtaking finish!

A breathtaking finish!

Since rounding Land’s End, the 12 Class40s still racing have been enjoying downwind conditions and 25/30 knots of breeze. The leaders passed Guernsey at 0300 GMT this Thursday morning. At the head of the fleet, the suspense is unbearable. Yesterday evening, at the 1800 GMT ranking, Port de Caen - Ouistreham was just 200 metres ahead of Initiatives Saveurs. This morning, at the 0400 GMT position report, Tanguy de Lamotte and Sébastien Audigane’s Class40 had moved in front with a lead of over 6 miles. It would seem, according to a message received from Initiatives Saveurs, that Port de Caen – Ouistreham encountered a sail issue. It couldn’t have been an easy night for the two boats racing neck and neck. However, for the crew of Des Pieds et des mains, who have made a great comeback, the last few hours have been rather favourable… At 0700 GMT, there are less than 70 miles to the finish. The hardest part is behind them and Raz Blanchard has just been rounded with a favourable current. Since the tide has turned the boats have had slightly less pace but they’re still making very high speeds with more than 12 knots VMG. After a theoretical course of nearly 800 miles, the frontrunners are set to cross the finish line in Ouistreham between 1100 and 1300 GMT. We await what is set to be a breathtaking conclusion with baited breath!

Extreme Sailing Series™: Multiple Race Winners on Opening Day of Act 3, Istanbul

Multiple Race Winners on Opening Day of Act 3, Istanbul

The first day of the Extreme Sailing Series™ Act 3 in Istanbul, Turkey saw an action packed seven races for the 11 international teams, with Artemis Racing taking the top spot with 52 points, only a single point ahead of Act 2 winners Luna Rossa and Alinghi on 47. The racing conditions tested the teams today as the 44 sailors manhandled their Extreme 40 racing machines around short, sharp courses. There were plenty of gusts to potentially trip the up boats, shifts in wind direction and the race legs were so short it was a full-on physical work. “It’s beautiful to sail here, the conditions are good with a tricky wind which is good for us,” said Maxi Sirena, skipper of Luna Rossa.

For six out of seven races today a different team crossed the finish line first, only Luna Rossa scored two bullets. Alinghi, Emirates Team New Zealand, The Wave Muscat, Groupe Edmond de Rothschild and Team GAC Pindar all secured a win apiece which kept everyone guessing right up to the last race as to which team would finish the day on top. Terry Hutchinson’s Artemis Racing proved that securing steady results in the top half of the leaderboard throughout the day gave them the edge over the less inconsistent teams: “I think one of the best things that we did was not get too flustered by some of the bad cards that were dealt to us, the last race was a perfect example of hanging in during the race and waiting until there was an opportunity presented to us to make our move,” explained Terry Hutchinson. “When a nice little shift came down the course we went for it with an early gybe, I think we passed three boats in the one move which was really, really good.”

Team GAC Pindar had their first race win of the 2011 Extreme Sailing Series. Skipper Ian Williams was jubilant to get their first race win under their belts in such challenging conditions: “It was challenging today, really shifty puffy conditions, quite strong winds at times and quite light winds at times which made it really tricky. Our first win was great today, it was a really close race with Team Extreme but in the end we just snuck it on the line with Team Extreme finishing in second.” Click here to watch Ian Williams discuss his form and that of the fleet in a chat with Seb Destremau.

The race management maximized the length of the upwind/downwind leg using the widest part of the Halic estuary but the downwind leg was still short – with the Extreme 40s covering the 400m stretch in 90 seconds. Two laps round and each race was over in just 10-12 minutes.

With only 11 points separating the top eight teams there will be some tough competition tomorrow as the front runners try to establish a firm lead, and the race course will become narrower as it moves in front of the VIP set-up for the media day ahead of the Extreme Sailing Series Race Village opening to the public on Friday, 28th.
