Pushing the limit
Monday, January 31, 2011
There were heavy conditions on the Hauraki Gulf on Monday and many of the city's boating community were out on the water for the Anniversary Day Regatta, an annual tradition that dates back to 1840 - older than the America's Cup itself.
Given the opportunity to push the limits, the AC45 test crew put the boat through its paces in the strongest breeze to date.
"It was big breeze today – a good day for us," said Matt Mason. "We pressed the boat as hard as we have so a real good test for it.
"We put the bow in a couple of times at 30 knots and loaded everything up. We were on our toes the whole time and it was great for the boat and the crew to come out of it relatively unscathed."
The boat received some minor damage to the trailing edge of the wing in the first gybe of the day out of the Viaduct Harbour but nothing to get in the way of a 30-mile sail in up to 30 knots as the crew opted for a circumnavigation of the iconic Rangitoto Island.
Skipper Jimmy Spithill said sailing in 25-30 knots of wind speed was, "a hell of a test for the boat. We were right on the edge."
ACRM boat captain Troy Tindill was happy to see the shore support crew handle the craning out of the boat in 30 knots. "It was good to know we can manage the boat at these upper limits."

America's Cup: Team New Zealand expected to sail AC45's
At the international media conference held yesterday at the old Team New Zealand base in Viaduct Harbour, it was revealed that Team New Zealand would be one of the four teams having practice sessions in the new AC45 prototype which has been sailing in Auckland for the past 12 days.
The AC45 is expected to be handed over to America's Cup Management early next week, at which point she will be made available for use by teams entered in the 34th America's Cup.
America's Cup skipper, James Spithill when questioned on the order of the teams using the boat said that Oracle Racing and Mascalzone Latino would have the first use, followed by Team New Zealand and Artemis Racing.
The handover of the AC45 is a crunch point in the process of the 34th America's Cup - where teams announced, and otherwise, will have the opportunity to step up to the plate and run a practice session. For those who have been announced it will be a time to show they do have the on the water substance to their program.
America's Cup Regatta Management have been consistent in their stipulation that only teams entered in the 34th America's Cup will will be allowed to sail the AC45, developed as a junior version of the AC72 to be sailed in the Match and Louis Vuitton Cup.
When the first group of entries were announced for the 34th America's Cup, there was one unnamed entry which has always been kept confidential.
However in his column in the authoritative Seahorse magazine's January 2011 issue, World Sailing Team Association's Paul Cayard said 'Artemis Racing was the third team to enter the competition on 1 November and Team New Zealand followed shortly thereafter.'
Then it was revealed that Cookson Boats had taken delivery of a set of moulds for an AC45 and were building their first boat. It has not been confirmed whether Cooksons will build the hulls for the whole initial batch of 10 boats, or if they, in their role as Team NZ's long-standing builder would be building the AC 45's for the worlds top professional sailing team. Sail-World was told that moulds for the AC45 would be made available for other builders, but the project to date has only involved a group of New Zealand companies.
There has been little said officially by Team New Zealand who are undertaking a process of what they term 'due diligence' on an America's Cup entry. It was made plain that they preferred a US venue and CEO Grant Dalton is on the record as being in favour of San Francisco - subsequently announced as the venue,
Their reticence in outing themselves as an America's Cup entry is attributed to the fact that they will not announce a definite entry until funding and key essentials are secure.
Some comment was also made at the media conference by Russell Coutts, CEO of Oracle Racing that if there was sufficient private owner interest, the wing sailed AC45 could be developed as its own class and circuit with a mix of Youth, America's Cup and other professional/amateur/Olympic crews competing.

USA 17 vai para San Francisco
Pena ir para outro armazém

America's Cup-winning trimaran USA 17 bound for San Francisco
Valencia, Spain, Tuesday, January 25, 2011
USA 17 has only ever competed twice, but she sailed the races of her life to dominate the Swiss defender, Alinghi, off Valencia, Spain, last year and win the 33rd America's Cup.
The extraordinary carbon-fiber machine is being loaded onto the freighter M.V. Star Isfjord this week for the long delivery trip to San Francisco via the Panama Canal. The freighter carrying both USA 17 and her extraordinary 223ft wingsail is scheduled to leave Valencia on January 29 or 30 for the 7,900-nautical-mile passage to the Bay Area.
The estimated arrival in San Francisco, dependent upon on-time loading, sea conditions en-route and transit time in the Panama Canal, is March 1.
The trimaran's arrival will mark the first time that USA 17 visits the city that ORACLE Racing calls home. She was launched in Anacortes, WA, in August 2008, and after initial testing there moved to San Diego, CA, for a further period of training before being moved to Valencia for the 33rd Cup Match last February.
Measuring more than 100 feet long and 90 feet wide and powered by a 20-storey tall wingsail, USA 17 is the fastest yacht to ever win the America's Cup. It has been in storage in Valencia since winning the Cup on Feb. 14, 2010.
With the ORACLE Racing team fully focused on laying the groundwork for its 34th America's Cup campaign in 2013, the provisional plan is to continue to keep USA 17 in storage after unloading. An announcement about the vessel's sailing plans will be made later this year.
"The handful of us privileged to sail on USA 17 would love to sail her again in an instant. I dare say all those who never had this chance would like to as well," said ORACLE Racing skipper James Spithill.
"But the stark reality is that every aspect of the boat, every component, was built right to the limit so that for every hour's sailing USA 17 required 20 hours of painstaking and rigorous maintenance. For the time being the team's focus will be on the America's Cup ahead."

Mundial de Moth - Primeiro dia de Regatas
from Juanpa Cadario by Juan Pablo Cadario

Zhik Moth Worlds - Burling fourth after day 1
It was a hot first day for the 2011 Zhik Moth Worlds with enough Easterly for 'Light-air Flyer' Joe Turner (AUS) to turn out a record of 2, 1, 1 and win the day.
Aussies make up four out of the top five after day 1 with Nathan Outteridge in second, Rob Gough with third, and Scott Babbage in fifth. Kiwi Peter Burling cracks in with fourth. But it wasn't just the 'young blokes' leading around the track, there was plenty of – experience – and international flavour breaching the top 10 around the tracks.
Swiss cousins Mikis and Arnaud Psarofaghis (try saying that 10 times fast), both had excellent days, Arnaud pumping out three top 10 finishes and Mikis a few in the top 15. Hero moves of the day go to Nathan Outteridge and Bora Gulari who in the last race were dead off the line, rounded the windward mark in 20th and 21st, and both fought their way back to a top 10 finish.
'So this is what it feels like to fly' reports Charlie McKee (USA), the Wing-sail guinea pig. The Wing-sail made a stunning debut after having a tough time at the Nationals and a full-blown smash-up during a practice session on the lay-day. 'I've never piloted a glider,' McKee said, 'But this is what I imagine how it would feel.' McKee had an excellent beat, winning the first leg of the second race and managed to hold on to a fifth.
Even top sailors get a few butterflies (moths?) in the stomach at World Championships. Brad Funk (USA) started off the day sailing the wrong race in the split fleet starts, is 'pretty glad' it's a long series. Byrne Lochlin (AUS) might have forgotten to put his bung in, and might have had to raft up on the American support boat to drain his hull …
Some of the followers on Facebook couldn't believe the live updates: 'Old Man Rast beat the young guns?' Sailors all born before 19__, such as Chris Rast (USA), Charlie McKee (USA), Peder Arvefors (SWE) and third over-all Rob Gough all tasted the top 10.
Arvefors, like Rast and McKee, came to the Moth from a strong background in 49ers, as well as some i14s and ice sailing. He's here with his wife and four kids, 'and I think there's a few cousins too', proving that you can foil, get top 10 finishes, and have your family, too. He currently sits in 27th overall.
