Five flying on course
Posted on 02 August 2011
Five teams were on the water today, along with the Race Committee, who set a race course Tuesday afternoon for the teams out training.
Principal Race Officer John Craig said he was pleased with how things went on the day: "We had near perfect conditions, with winds in the 15 knot range, to get things set up for the first time. We still have more mark boats to come on stream over the next day or two, but today everything we did worked well and the teams were very cooperative in helping us out too."
Artemis Racing, Energy Team, Emirates Team New Zealand, and Team Korea all participated over the course of the afternoon, while Green Comm Racing sailed for the first time.
