ARTEMIS AND BRONENOSEC ON FORM
Virgin Gorda, BVI. 27 November 2015. Despite the wind gods repeatedly throwing curve assurance at competitors in the RC44 Virgin Gorda Cup, today Torbjörn Törnqvist and his Artemis Racing crew firmly consolidated their lead in this regatta.
The Swedish squad led going into the twenty-four hours and promptly won the opening two races, the start being a nail biter as they lost the lead, only regaining information technology on the finish line. They followed this upward with a half-dozen-2, making them top scoring boat of the day, and eight points clear of Vladimir Liubomirov's Bronenosec Sailing Team in 2nd overall.

"Information technology was a cheerio," said Törnqvist. "We got relatively practiced starts, we found the lanes and had speed upwind and downwind. We got the correct side of the shifts and when you are in front it all becomes a lilliputian easier."
This flavor, Artemis Racing'due south superlative position has been a quaternary in Marstrand, but the team is well on track to changing that hither. "Even though the results haven't been what we had hoped for in the flavor, we feel nosotros practise accept the speed and, when it comes together, it works well. Francesco [Bruni] does a fantastic job as a tactician in these very tricky weather. He is like a sorcerer out at that place, and gets us out of trouble when it is needed." And this is but Bruni's second RC44 regatta with the team.
While today's conditions were lighter and weren't quite as up and downwards every bit yesterday, in that location was a pregnant right shift that forced the race commission boat to upwardly ballast and movement the course prior to race four.
"Hardest for us were the starts," admitted Bruni. "They were okay, but non bright and especially the concluding one." In this they received a penalty at the starting time, but impressively fought back to finish second – Bruni said he was most proud of this race. As to why they are doing well hither, Bruni thinks it is considering of the training they managed to put in with Törnqvist prior to the event.
The final 2 races of the twenty-four hour period were won by Vladimir Liubomirov's Bronenosec Sailing Team and John Bassadone's Peninsula Petroleum respectively.
Bronenosec Sailing Team survived best in race 3 when a small squall passed through N Sound. "Some other nice mean solar day, some other ane won and we improved, and so information technology is very skillful," said Liubomirov. "Me and my team are happy. The wind is nice and I similar how shifty it is, because it is not piece of cake for the tactician or for me."
With his team now second, while Vladimir Prosikhin'due south Team Nika has dropped to fourth, Bronenosec is currently favourite to win the overall RC44 Fleet Racing championship.
"In that location are at least five teams fighting for the podium and overall information technology all the same not clear who will be there and in which position," observed Prosikhin.
John Bassadone'south Peninsula Petroleum finally came adept in the last race, while a solid ii-2-1 in the concluding three races elevated the Gibraltar-based team to 3rd overall. On their win, Bassadone said it came "with cracking difficulty! It's been a pretty complicated couple of days, very hard. We just kept on working hard. We are happy to be back at this end of the tabular array."
Equally to why, Bassadone connected: "I recollect it'due south a bit of everything - a decent commencement, the gunkhole speed is definitely something the guys have worked very hard on since the last regatta, good tactics, good crew work and also a little chip of luck - or no bad luck."
Peninsula Petroleum'southward bubbly Italian tactician Vasco Vascotto, like Francesco Bruni, is also another who seems able to brand sense of ultra-shifty conditions, vital for the concluding race with the air current bravado over the top of Virgin Gorda. In fact Peninsula Petroleum managed to choice up their own personal puff coming into the kickoff top mark rounding which helped them round ahead.
"Nosotros like to sheet within the bay - information technology'due south different, so it is a matter of playing a little more the shifts, something we like," said Vascotto. "More the result, we are happy we are sailing ameliorate in terms of our speed and crew work."
"Moding is very of import - you lot need to sail the gunkhole a piddling differently than normal sailing conditions. If you have some shifts, sometimes you have to get faster, other times you have to get a little slower and be patient. That is something we are improving during these days."
The penultimate day of fleet racing takes identify tomorrow and over again we wait to hear whether it will have place within the confines of North Audio or outside in more open water.
