Cowes Week day four wrap-up
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

On the White Group start line the Laser SB3 class got away cleanly after a 10-minute postponement. The adverse tide favoured the inner end of the line, but in light wind there were big holes close inshore. 10 minutes later it was very soft for the Longtze class, with only one boat on the line and the back-markers were barely clear a couple of minutes before the scheduled Etchells start time.

Cowes Week day three wrap up
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

The west-south-westerly winds of the first two days of Cowes Week gave way to a light northerly gradient wind overnight. With the thin layer of cloud forecast to clear, the prospects were for a mostly sunny day. However, this in turn gave race officials and course setters an unenviable dilemma - rising temperatures were forecast to give a south-westerly afternoon sea breeze, with the inevitable shut-down mid Solent first.

Cowes Week day one wrap-up
Sunday, August 1st, 2010

This year's first start saw the nine Extreme 40s competing in the Extreme Sailing Series at Cowes on the Royal Yacht Squadron line for their first long-distance race. In light airs, with insufficient wind for these high-adrenaline machines to fly a hull, and a building flood tide, the fleet lined up heading inshore on starboard tack 20 seconds before the gun. However, three were over the line early and the inshore boat had to tack for depth almost immediately after the gun, forcing the remainder of the fleet to tack offshore.

Friday, July 30th, 2010
This Saturday the largest sailing regatta of its kind, Cowes Week, kicks off for its 184th year. This year Cowes Week welcomes a number of new classes and has made several improvements to ensure that 2010 is the best regatta yet. At the current time, entries are in great shape at 893, with more still coming in. Cowes Week is firmly on track to be another cracker!

Artemis win the Camper Regatta
Sunday, July 25th, 2010
Artemis win the Camper Regatta – Conde de Godó Trophy – Barcelona TP52 Series after a fantastic finale, coming from seventh at the first windward mark to finish second behind Bribon.

Two fantastic runs in succession, showing solid boathandling, great boat speed and acute calls from tactician Cameron Appleton ensured the Swedish flagged team win their first regatta in more than two years. With a one point lead going into today’s one and only race, Paul Cayard and crew looked to have a mountain to climb when the breeze bent right on the first beat and they were left, but they kept their composure.
