Peter Burling to step in as Nathan Outteridge is poached
Thursday September 20th 2012, Author: James Boyd, Location: United Kingdom

Team Korea is to have its third skipper in 12 months following the poaching of their second skipper, recently crowned 49er gold medallist, Nathan Outteridge, who is believed to be heading for Artemis Racing. This season Outteridge replaced Chris Draper who sailed the 2011 season with the fledgling Team Korea, but then went on to become one of (at least) two drivers for Luna Rossa.

New helmsman for the Korean America's Cup challenger has been announced as New Zealander Peter Burling. Burling, 21, was the Olympic silver medallist at London 2012 and he and crew Blair Tuke were training partners with Outteridge and his crew Iain Jensen. He is held to be one of the New Zealand's most talented young sailors.

Burling will take the helm of the White Tiger Challenge AC45 for the next America's Cup World Series regatta in San Francisco being held over 2-7 October, where he will become the youngest skipper in the competition by a considerable margin. This is a position he is familiar with, having been the youngest ever sailor to represent New Zealand at the Olympic Games, when he sailed in the 470 class in 2008 in China. Team Korea plans to start training in San Francisco from September 24.

Dong Young-Kim, founder of Team Korea, said: “Peter is the type of young talented newcomer who has been attracted by the high performance boats used in the America’s Cup World Series and we look forward to continuing the team’s strong performances. We are proud of what our new team has achieved in its first-ever participation in the America’s Cup.”

Another temporary change in the Korean cew will see two-time Volvo Ocean Race competitor New Zealand Andy McLean standing in for Mark Bulkeley who has a clash with own wedding to trophy wife Helen Grundy.

At present no announcement has been made over whether Team Korea will be going ahead with the build of an AC72 (and in turn will be able to challenge for the 34th America's Cup next year), although they are believed to have secured a substantial portion of their budget.

Farr 40 Worlds 2012

In the time since the launch of the first Farr 40 in 1997, this high-octane grand-prix class has grown to 160 boats sailed in twenty countries. The well-organized class is run like a business, and the ensuing international competition has led the fleet around the globe to race in many of the sailing world’s most iconic venues: San Francisco, Miami, Porto Cervo, Newport and Sydney.

From September 17-20, 2012, the 40’ high-performance one-design yachts will contest the Rolex Farr 40 World Championship in Chicago, notable as an international hub for finance, commerce, industry, telecommunications and transportation. The 20 yachts, representing eight nations (Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Monaco, Turkey and the U.S.A.), will compete on fast-paced and technically demanding courses, with the first starting signal scheduled to be given daily at 11:00 a.m.

This marriage of business and sport extends from the class organization to the collaboration between the amateur owners and their semi-professional crew that more often than not includes a world-renowned tactician who brings his particular expertise to the contest. The tacticians competing in Chicago boast impressive credentials: no less than seven are Olympians, while at least that many are world champions in other classes.

Bill Hardesty (San Diego, Calif.), the 2011 Etchells World Champion and winner of the 2011 Rolex Yachtsman of the Year Award, is the tactician aboard Flash Gordon 6 whose owner, Chicago architect Helmut Jahn, was the primary force behind the 15th edition of the world championships being held for the first time on Lake Michigan.

'The Farr 40 is one of the best one design classes in the world,' said Hardesty who explained that sailing on Lake Michigan will be different than at other venues. 'In fresh water, believe it or not, the boat actually feels a little bit different and we’ve made a few small changes with the instruments. But even bigger, way more weather patterns come through and the wind is all dependent on what the weather system is at the time. Here, anything can happen on any day and so you have to be prepared for whatever you get thrown.'

Hardesty also detailed the dynamic with an amateur helmsman and primarily amateur crew which create a situation where the racing needs to be fun for everybody. 'We really have to, as tacticians, anticipate what the situation is going to bring. It takes a while to get used to what the particular helmsman has…everybody has habits, and as the professional on these boats that’s our job to know the moves, anticipate what’s going to happen and make the best of it.

'One of the best strategies at these regattas is to come out aggressive in the beginning and taper it as the regatta goes along. Teams are less apt to go for the pin – a high risk start – in the beginning. As the regatta starts getting going, teams that are in the back of the fleet they’ll go for it at all costs and it’ll be life or death. And you sometimes don’t want to take that chance; if you need to, and it’s a must-win, you roll the dice and see what you can do.'

Can Quantum Racing and Iberdrola hang on to their leads?
Tuesday September 18th 2012, Author: James Boyd, Location: Spain

Racing gets underway tomorrow in Valencia for the grand finale of the 52 Super Series and Soto 40 2012 championships. The line-up in the
Marina Real Juan Carlos I de Valencia, the marina which famously hosted the 32nd and 33rd America’s Cups (and still looks remarkably unchanged albeit a bit dustier since 2007) features five 52s and eight of the smaller Argentinean designed and built one designs competing for the Audi Valencia Cup.

Today the practice race for both classes was just about held with muggy hazy conditions only allowing a smallest of sea breezes to fill in during the mid-afternoon.

Second Round of Qualifying Begins

Thunder rumbled between the mountains as the 49ers clocked 3 races each for the Gold and Silver fleets on Lake Garda. Sailing out of Fraglia Vela Riva, one race was held in light conditions with a 8:30am start in very light conditions and the fleet sent back to shore once the rain began. After a few hours postponement, both fleets returned to their courses with better wind conditions but still lots of rain, to continue the series where 2 races were completed per fleet.

The first day of the Fleet series, the sailors began with a clean slate. Tomasz Januszweski and Jacek Nowak (POL) reveled in the conditions and stayed consistent with a 2-4-3 to hold the lead in the Gold fleet. Recent 2012 Bronze medallist Allan Norregaard with new crew Anders Thomsen (DEN) sit in second overall after a 4-7-4. Norregaard and Thomsen have raised eyebrows with a unconventional form of crewing which landed them in the jury room last night. Found to be legal, Norregaard further commented after today's racing; "We had a really good, fun day today. We had a new technique that we've been practicing on before and today we got to use it. We stand on top of each other so we get the weight really far out and it seems to be working here on Lake Garda in these stable conditions. From 15-20 knots it's been working pretty well." It looks more like a circus act as Norregaard climbs atop Thomsen's shoulders and both trapeze while Thomsen steers from the hull.



Anders Thomsen added, "We had really light breeze and couldn't use the technique this morning, but this afternoon we had 15-16 knots, gusting to 25 with the thunderclouds." He continued that, "One race we were leading by 500 meters and the wind disappeared, we ended up 7th; it was a bit shifty."

Third overall are Jan Hauke Erichsen and Max Lutz (GER) with a 14-2-4, also the top Youth team. Leading the Silver fleet are Belgians Yannick Lefebvre and Matthieu Janssens.

Racing continues tomorrow. The final series will be held in Theatre style with a 4-round knock-out style racing and a Grand Final series to be held on the last day with the final 4 boats.

Live tracking is provided by regatta partner SAP with live internet broadcast on the final 2 days.

"Cool," he said with a smile.

49er European

Local sailors Jacopo Plazzi and Umberto Molineris (ITA) used local knowledge and years spent on Lake Garda to move into the lead for the 49er European Championship. With an impending front approaching, the winds were light for Garda standards, with 8-10 knots maximum for the day. Posting a 1-3-3 for the day, Plazzi commented “ We were speedy upwind and doing simple things. We’re happy to be sailing here in our home waters.” He further commented to expect “strong winds from the north and bad weather” for tomorrow’s racing, but fully expects to be out on the water racing.
