TeamOrigin improve, but still fall short in Cartagena . . .
Emirates Team New Zealand’s return to Cartagena proved something of a repeat performance as the 2009 Audi MedCup champions retained the overall Caja Mediterráneo Region of Murcia Trophy for the second year in a row on the same waters where they clinched the overall TP52 Series championships title last year.

The Kiwis seemed to have sailed an almost blemish free regatta, consistent across the broad wind range through the event, emerging triumphant at the dockside with a comfortable cushion on second placed Matador, but the jury subsequently disqualified them from the second race of the day for infringing Quantum Racing at the first windward mark.



TeamOrigin (GBR) seemed to have the measure of them at times in the light to moderate wind conditions and flat water, but the British crew were recalled for starting too early in the final race of the day, finishing ninth. Added to their 11th in Saturday’s coastal race that left TeamOrigin, who lead early in the event, third overall.

Ben Ainslie and team will take some satisfaction not only from their first podium finish of the season and also the positive progress they are making on the season’s leaderboard. Ainslie: “It was a good week for the team. We had a couple of tough races but have been improving throughout the season which was always our goal and hope for a strong finish to the series in Cagliari”

Overall the results for the Med Cup series mean that TeamOrigin are serious contenders for second place with Matador on equal points and Quantum Racing not far infront. That’ll make things interesting in Cagliari.

Victory for Groupama 70 in Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland . . .
At 11:26 hours BST on Sunday Franck Cammas and his ten crew took victory in the Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland off the Royal Yacht Squadron in Cowes on the Isle of Wight. By covering the 1,802 miles in 5 days 21 hours and 26 minutes at an average speed of 12.74 knots, the French crew considerably improved on the best time over this course which had previously been in the hands of the British sailors Dee Cafari and Sam Davies since 2009.



Groupama finishing the Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race

By taking 14 hours and 3 minutes less time than the previous Sevenstar RBI reference, Groupama 70 has confirmed the fast pace of these Volvo Ocean Race monohulls, which are capable of peak speeds in excess of 30 knots, as well as regularly sailing faster than the strength of the wind, like the multihulls that the skipper of Groupama is so familiar with.

- Time of passage over the finish line: 1126 hours BST

- Race time: 5 days 21 hours and 26 minutes

- Average speed over the 1,802 mile course: 12.74 knots

- Lead over the previous record: 14 hours and 3 minutes

Groupama bound for St. Kilda in Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race . . .
At 07:00 Thursday morning, Groupama were bound for St. Kilda with Telefónica Azul closing the gap behind them. Groupama are still out in front on Day Four of the Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race, but overnight the wind speed dropped from 15 knots to just a zephyr of wind.



Groupama are now barely moving forward but Telefónica Azul is a weapon in light airs and they are clawing back the miles. Although conditions on board are now calm, concentration levels need to be maintained. After the physical exertion of the last three days, it is now mental strength that becomes paramount, keeping alert when every part of your being is willing you to sleep is just as grueling.

Jonny Malbon's IMOCA 60, Artemis Ocean Racing, has been getting the tactics spot on and they are currently leading the fleet overall on handicap. Behind them the Lithuanian crew on Volvo 60, Ambersail are on a final approach to Muckle Flugga, but the lighter wind may not suit the boat.

There is a fascinating battle between Piet Vroon's Dutch Ker 46, Tonnerre de Breskens and the British Keelboat Academy's TP52, John Merricks II. The young crew from the academy took a bold move to the east yesterday, in search of more wind and they found it, but the price they have had to pay is to sail more miles. John Merricks II may well round Muckle Flugga before their Dutch rivals and the high performance, lighter TP52, could well slip away in the lighter breeze ahead.

Newsflash 11:45 26/08/10 - Luca Zoccoli's Ostar 35, In Direzione Ostinata e Contraria has retired from the race and is heading for Edinburgh, both the skipper and crew are well.

Telefonica Azul sets blistering pace in Round Britain . . .
The Volvo Open 70, Telefonica Azul, is scorching along at a blistering speed. After the first 24 hours of the Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race, the Spanish yacht has covered 440 miles of the 1800 mile course.



Hurtling along behind them is Groupama and they are pushing hard. If anything, the wind speed is due to increase during the night. The crews on board will be soaking wet and beginning to feel the effects of fatigue. Food will only be fuel and boat speed will be their primary concern.

To put this amazing 24 hour run into context, the two rocket ships are now north of Edinburgh, and could well be north of mainland Scotland by tomorrow morning!

Several hours behind the two front runners, Jonny Malbon and his crew on IMOCA 60, Artemis Ocean Racing, are reveling in the fast reaching conditions, The overall leader on handicap is the RYA Keelboat Academy’s TP52, John Merricks II.

ICAP Leopard retires from Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race . . .
NEWSFLASH 17:52 23.08.10

ICAP Leopard has contacted the RORC racing office to announce that they are retiring from the Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race. The crew are safe and well and are making a course for Southampton. At the present moment in time, the reason for their retirement is unknown.

"Sadly we have had to retire off Beachy Head! So heading back to Southampton, ETA tomorrow (Tuesday). Mike Slade/ICAP Leopard"



Blast-off for Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race . . .
The start of the Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race took place bang on target at 14:00 hrs Monday. The English punctuality didn’t favour Groupama 70, who were delayed following a collision with another boat whilst still tied to their mooring. Setting off around fifteen minutes late, Franck Cammas and his crew powered away and managed one by one to overtake 25 of their 27 rivals in some rather harsh sailing conditions and a light worthy of Beken of Cowes..



First to cross the start line, ICAP Leopard and Telefonica Azul put on an exceptional display, firing off at 25 knots into the Solent, the sound which separates the Isle of Wight from the mainland. Despite being over 30 foot longer than the VOR 70, ICAP Leopard, with Sam Davies navigating, got irreparably left behind, as did the rest of the fairly assorted fleet.

During this time, the crew of Groupama 70 attempted to quickly hoist their mainsail. Delayed following a failed manœuvre by a competitor, which damaged the bow of the VOR 70, Franck Cammas could only watch, powerless, as his main rival, Iker Martinez, skipper of Telefonica, took flight. A double Olympic medallist in the Forty Niner, the Spaniard couldn’t have wished for a better start.

It remains to be seen now how the skipper of Groupama 70 will react. Prior to the start, the newcomer to the VOR category had this to say: “We’re here to drive the men and Groupama 70 into a corner, as well as to see how we measure up against an experienced, high performance crew”.



Having racked up a 5-mile deficit from the outset, Cammas had no other choice but to attack. He too tracked making 25 knots of boat speed, creating fabulous plumes of water in his wake, the skipper was clearly ruling Groupama 70 with a rod of iron.

Once across the Solent, the imposed route will call for a series of tack changes under spinnaker. Favouring a more northerly course, Jean-Luc Nélias, Groupama 70’s navigator, was the first to put in a gybe. It’s a manœuvre which, in the breeze, requires perfect synchronisation. Unfortunately this element may well have been somewhat lacking aboard Celox 40, which lost her mast.

Irish Eyes are Smiling after victory in the Rolex Commodores’ Cup . . .
Ireland has done it. After mounting multiple teams, considered favourite going into both the 2006 and 2008 events but failing to win either, so the Irish boats Antix, marinerscove.ie and Roxy 6 today secured the Rolex Commodores’ Cup for the emerald isle.

The 2010 Rolex Commodores’ Cup could not have finished on a better note. While the day dawned grim, with rain and visibility down to less than a mile, by start time at 10:30BST it was blowing 20+ knots and with the tidal effect this was churning up the Solent. With the weather mark not visible there was a distinct Irish hiccup on the first start when Antix collided with a French competitor and had to carry out a penalty turn.

“It was 110% our fault, but we are glad we got it out of the way,” said O’Leary. “Fortunately with that amount of weather, there was always going to be a chance to have a come back.”



And so it was on the run when, with the wind gusting to more than 30 knots and the sea seeming to come from all directions, that there were many instances of boats becoming overpowered and wiping out. This provided O’Leary and his crew with the chance they were looking for: “Down the first run Inis Mor tried to gybe, spun out and blew her kite to bits. White Heat had the same problem just ahead. Then we got to the bottom mark and our friends from Hong Kong trawled the kite, so we got inside them. Then we extended to the finish.”

Jamie McWilliam’s Hong Kong team finished second to the Irish, on 117.5 points to Ireland’s 73.5. However McWilliam was satisfied with the result: “I think if we’d been second having cocked it up, it would have been irritating, but the Irish guys sailed with great style and great skill and I’m absolutely delighted for them.”

Rolex Commodores’ Cup fleet start offshore race . . .
The 30 strong Rolex Commodores’ Cup fleet shot off east down the Solent this morning with the wind and tide but under a grey rain-filled sky at the start of their high points scoring offshore race. The course for the 10 teams is full of zigzags taking them first out towards Selsey Bill while tonight they will be heading west along the bottom of the Isle of Wight en route for a mark off Poole Harbour.



At this point the three classes will race slightly different courses before the run back east tomorrow morning that should see them finishing off a line to the west of Portsmouth Harbour sometime tomorrow afternoon.

The latest positions from the racecourse indicate that the Irish team is not only still leading overall in the 2010 Rolex Commodores’ Cup, but they have extended their lead albeit marginally. The 17.00 BST sched showed Anthony O’Leary’s Antix second among the big boats, David Dwyer’s marinerscove.ie second in the mid-sized fleet and Robert Davies’ Roxy 6 second among the small boats. With these results the Irish team would be on 44.5 points ahead of France Blue and Hong Kong tied in second on 71.5. GBR Red holds fourth on 86.5, followed by France Yellow in fifth.

IRC yachts 2010 SW Area Championships . . .
Excellent sailing was enjoyed for a seven race IRC yachts 2010 SW Area Championships hosted by the Royal Cornwall YC during Falmouth Week. Race Officer Roger Hollingsworth set some challenging courses in Falmouth Bay.

The scene in Division 1 for the larger yachts was set on the first day when the visiting yacht Xcellent of John Pollard from Torbay won both races and then continued to dominate with further firsts.

In Division 2, four Falmouth based Half Ton rated yachts hotly contested each race with the Mustang 30 of William Prest joining in the fight. Insatiable won the Championships for Division 2 with five firsts and one third. Demolition and Miss Whiplash of Denning, Hirst & Pullen had one first each and Demolition pipped Per Elisa by one point for 2nd overall.

In Division 3, the J24 Jethro of Phil Samuel won the first four races but then tailed off to allow Scorpion of Geoff Davies and Blink of Nick Masson to enjoy wins. However, Jethro had done enough to secure first overall, followed by Scorpion 2nd and Blink 3rd.

The famous Champagne Race this year was included in the Championships and the 25 mile course turned out to be the usual challenge with two shorter windward legs for yachts to be tactical. Nevertheless, in Division 1, John Pollard in Excellent from Torbay, although not the fastest boat on the water, took 1st on handicap holding off local boat Daring of Damien Bloor.

In Division 2, an excellent start by Tim Cunliffe in Half Tonner Insatiable, allowed him to lead at the first Mark and hold off Half Tonner Per Elisa of Robbie Tregear on the nine mile run out to the East. Covering closely thereafter, Insatiable slowly drew ahead to win the Champagne Race from Ian Jakeways' General Khaos who pipped Per Elisa for second. Geoff Davies in Scorpion did similarly in Division 3 and put an end to Phil Samuels run of 1st places.

Winners of Copa del Rey Audi Mapfre . . .
Ran, Matador, Rats on fire, Tanit and Lelagain are the brand new winners of the 29 Copa del Rey Audi Mapfre, whereas Iberostar clinches the X-41 trophy. The winners of this 29 Copa del Rey Audi Mapfre were decided after Saturday's two races.



Argentinean Matador won in considerable style thus repeating last year's victory. This is the third victory for Alberto Roemmers' TP52 in the Copa del Rey, whereas the rest of the winners make their debut on top of the podium of the most important regatta of the Mediterranean. The prize giving ceremony will take place in Ses Voltes gardens, with the presence of the Kings of Spain.

Cowes Week day 7 - All Overall leading results after Friday's racing . . .
The pretty, Solent Sunbeam is always a regular at Cowes Week with its relatively small, yet highly competitive fleet. Designed by Alfred Westmacott in 1923, this traditional dayboat is one of an increasingly small number of classes in which the boats are still all wood.

However, with the cost of new builds having reached a level that's not viable for the majority of owners, the class commissioned an experimental new glassfibre boat built by Mark Downer at SM Structures, and fitted out by Haines Boatyard at Itchenor - the fleet's home port.

This new boat - Betty - named in honour of the late Betty Moore who owned and sailed her Sunbeam Why for 61-years - has been ‘racing' this week at Cowes during her evaluation period.
