Intercollegiate Offshore Regatta

To help launch the partnership formed between the the EDHEC Sailing Cup and Storm Trysail Foundation, for the first time two crews from Europe were invited to compete in the Storm Trysail Foundation’s Intercollegiate Offshore Regatta at Larchmont YC. Georgetown won the trip to the 46th EDHEC Sailing Cup in les Sables-d’Olonne, France next April. They sailed an Express 37, owned by Richard du Moulin.

Grant Simmer

Aussies Return to Cup

Oracle Team USA’s general manager Grant Simmer shares his insight into Oracle’s unlikely victory … and a glimpse of what we may see ahead for AC35 with Hamilton Island YC as the challenger of record.

Race 19: A dead-even start for the final race saw the boats side by side going into the hairpin turn at the first mark, with Emirates in the favorable inside position. Barker arced gracefully downwind at nearly 50 mph, while Oracle crashed down off its foils and submerged the entire platform. On Day 1, it would’ve been the end of them, but they jumped right back on the foil (“Nice recovery boys,” said Ainslie casually) and chipped away at New Zealand’s lead. Barker was first to the leeward gate with a marginal lead, but Oracle gained at each crossing upwind, rounding the weather mark with a 500-meter lead.
