Tuesday, May 12 - 2009 - Throughout Monday night and early Tuesday morning, the Portimão Global Ocean Race leaders continued to hammer north leaving the Virgin Islands to port with Beluga Racer and Desafio Cabo de Hornos polling speed averages of between 12-14 knots. The scene was set for an enduring fight between the German race leaders and the Chilean team in second place. Then, at 0200 GMT this morning, the Chilean boat collided with a submerged object.
"We are living through the saddest moment of the race so far," said Felipe Cubillos earlier this morning, before describing the collision: "We were planing along at 20 knots of speed in the dark when the leeward rudder struck something, snapping it in two," he explains. With the working, submerged, rudder destroyed Desafio Cabo de Hornos span out of control. "We had the spinnaker up and without the rudder we rounded-up and went into a broach," recalls Cubillos. "After a lot of work we got the boat under control and dropped the main, sailing with the Solent headsail only."
Having recovered from the collision, Cubillos and Muñoz decided to head for San Juan in Puerto Rico, but by 0400 GMT, the plan had changed.
"We have decided to head for Charleston," stated Cubillos via email. "As we are missing a rudder, the job is a bit complex, but we have 1100 miles to go and we think that we can make it." Cubillos calculates that his ETA in Charleston is seven days away and there is sufficient food supplies and water on board. "So, we haven't dropped out of the race and we're continuing to compete - albeit with just one rudder - and our goal is still to complete this round-the-world race."
The Chilean team are currently organizing the fabrication of a replacement rudder in France and shipping the blade to Charleston in time for the start of Leg 5 from Charleston to Portimão.
"I have always been enthusiastic in searching for dreams," adds the Chilean skipper. "It is the very reason for living: it does not have to be a rational dream and that's why we show so much persistence in obtaining them. That's why I'm not going to write about them. I'll just switch on my Ipod and get back on the helm."

Tuesday, May 12 - 2009 - San Diego, CA - Paul Cayard has joined West Marine and Cortez Racing Association for a benefit to support Challenged America sailors with disabilities in the first West Marine/Challenged America Regatta, June 12 & 13, 2009, in San Diego.
"From being a seven-time World Champion and two-time Olympian, and five-time America's Cup veteran, to be the first American to win the Whitbread Around The World Race, Paul Cayard's name and presence is quickly identified and talked about in virtually every yacht club and sailing venue in the world," said Urban Miyares, blinded Vietnam veteran, sailor, and Challenged America co-founder. "Having Paul take time out of his busy schedule to come to San Diego to help us and do the keynote at our Friday, June 12 dinner and auction is truly a special treat. And once the word gets out, I'm hoping we have enough room at the Bali Hai Restaurant on Shelter Island to accommodate everyone who is looking to meet Paul and hear him speak."
The inaugural West Marine/Challenged America Regatta is a fundraising event
supported by West Marine and San Diego's Cortez Racing Association (CRA)
to help support the charitable Challenged America adaptive sailing program
for disabled veterans, kids and adults with disabilities.
"We are expecting a capacity crowd for the dinner and auction on Friday, and more than 400 racers and volunteers on Saturday, plus countless others on the water in spectator boats and on the shoreline watching the racing. Two races are planned for the day, with many sailors with disabilities also racing," said Miyares. "Everyone in San Diego will want to be part of this exciting and fun San Diego event on the waterfront to benefit kids and adults with disabilities, and meet those sailors and celebrities in attendance. We are still seeking sponsors, auction items,and donations ... and registration for the Regatta and ticket sales for the Friday event are now being taken."
Funds from the West Marine/Challenged America Regatta will go directly towards maintaining the program's fleet of 12 vessels, providing free learn-to-sail and advanced sailing opportunities for those hospitalized, in therapeutic recovery or rehabilitation programs, and for kids and adults living with disabilities, along with their loved ones in the community.
For additional information to become a sponsor, donor or supporter, or to register your vessel for the regatta or purchased tickets for the West Marine/Challenged America Regatta dinner or other events, visit www.WMCAregatta.com, or contact Kelli Gardner at Challenged

Monday, May 11 - 2009 - Just got this in from Alinghi.
The Defender of the 33rd America's Cup, the Société Nautique de Genève (SNG), today received an official Notice of Challenge from the Circolo di Vela Gargnano (CVG) with a certificate for a 90x90foot vessel as per the Golden Gate / BMW Oracle challenge for the 33rd America's Cup.
SNG welcomes the Italian entry; CVG was a challenger in the 32nd America's Cup and is world renowned for its prestigious Centomiglia regatta. It has now challenged with a multihull as per the Golden Gate challenge.
SNG and Alinghi have always supported a multi-challenger event and continue to do so. At a meeting on 23 April, the Swiss Defender asked the American Challenger of Record to open the challenger selection series. SNG continues to encourage a 33rd America's Cup with multiple teams from different nations; however the decision to accept the Italian challenge in a multihull lies with the Golden Gate Yacht Club and BMW Oracle Racing.

Monday, May 11 - 2009 - The Border Run 2010 is now up to 52 entries. We were trying to think of any race that has had so many entries a year away from the event... it's gotta be some kind of a record. Anyway, there's still time to enter and be entered into a drawing for a free handheld GPS and complimentary entry.
With a year to plan, we are confident that this race will be unlike most any race out there. Sign up and let's get a massive head of steam rolling - early entries breeds successful events!
The Border Run 2010 is looking to be the most attended race of the year - get on board today.

Monday, May 11 - 2009 - 17-year-old Mike Perham is back in action in his pursuit to be the youngest person to circle the globe solo. Here's his latest entry where he clues us into what life is like alone on a very fast boat (Totallymoney.com) in a turbulent ocean.
The surfing has continued as have the gusty conditions, giving me a very wet and very wild ride. In fact, there was a moment earlier when Totallymoney.com resembled a submarine.
I was sitting in the cuddy, watching the world go by, when a strong gust of 38knots picked us up and we shot off down a wave at over 20-knots. The bow started to dig in, we lost a bit of speed and next thing I know I'm watching the water rushing up the deck towards the cockpit and it filled it right up! I lifted my boots in the air to keep them dry, as I was sitting on the bean-bag and two seconds later the cockpit was empty once more. Our surfing resumed as if nothing had happened. So there you are, a brief insight into watching the world go by on an Open 50, sailing fast downwind.
I'm now settling into my normal boat diet and had my first freeze-dried porridge this morning, which went down just nicely. I'm still struggling a bit with sleeping and I'm often feeling tired, but I'm gradually getting into the routine of taking short naps once again.
The current conditions really are great fun; I'm sailing fast but under complete control and Totallymoney.com feels just happy. I've set her up for the gusts of up to 40knots so that when they arrive, as they're now doing frequently, I'm ready for them.
I've noticed more and more flying fish landing on the deck recently. There's been a few times when they've woken me up during the night with the racket they make flapping away on the deck, until a wave washes them away. They remind me of my solo transatlantic trip when I was 14. I was hand steering at one point during the night and this huge flying fish flew straight into my lap, giving me quite a surprise!

Monday, May 11 - 2009 - Ernesto Bertarelli and the crew on Alinghi SUI1 bounced back from fourth place on the eve of the finals performing consistently yesterday to take a second and another first place after lengthy delays due to weather conditions on Lake Geneva. Ernesto Bertarelli and his crew won three of the six races over the weekend, facing some of the top multihull experts in the world.
Bertarelli, Alinghi SUI1 helmsman, explains how his team improved throughout the weekend to take the championship:
"We sailed really well in today's breeze. We were in second position overall before going into race 2 today and we managed to get a good start; with good speed in light airs. The level of the fleet here is very high, but we are pleased that we have improved through the weekend."
A word on your crew mates on Alinghi SUI6
"Alinghi SUI6 has had a good result, they have progressed well and are the best of the new teams, and the other teams are strong, so I think it is mission accomplished for this first grand prix. Knowing them as well as I do, I'm sure they have learned a lot and their level is going to go up very fast. Last year the same crew did the iShares circuit, they were a new team and they managed to win the championship."
How does Alinghi benefit from this platform for the next America's Cup on multihulls?
"This is the best platform we have today to train on because the boats have a large sail area, and they are suited to inshore racing. Also, the fact that there are so many specialists on this circuit such as Loïck Peyron, Alain Gautier, Franck Cammas and Pascal Bidegorry, among others, allows us to measure ourselves against the cumulated experience they have on sail trim, sail shapes and more generally on how to sail multihulls. These people are specialists in offshore sailing, racing on Lake Geneva, Olympic Games, and the America's Cup. This is very fertile ground to experiment with how different people approach the same matter: sailing multihulls on the lake."
Ed Baird, Alinghi SUI6, explains how the weekend went for his team:
"We felt better today with how we were getting off the start line and with our thought process of getting around the course. It's still a great challenge to race in a venue like this with a big separation from one side of the course to the other; it's not what we are used to. We are learning how and we are getting better at making the boat go fast and knowing how to change gears when the wind changes speeds. All of those things are starting to slowly come together, but we need a lot more experience to threaten the top teams and it's certainly good fun to have the chance to learn that.
"All week Ernesto and his team have been really smooth and never slow, never out of the picture; even when they were in difficult situations they were able to pop through and come out on the other side nicely and that's what it takes to win in a tight fleet, so it's a great testament to the hard work of their team over the years and for any team on how important it is to continue to find the right people and to work hard together to be the best."

Monday, May 11 - 2009 - The sun came out at last, the wind finally arrived more or less on schedule and the 2009 J/24 World Championship came to an exciting end with three races jammed into the final day of competition.
With the vital worst-race throwout in play once the sailors had completed the day's first contest, standings shuffled quite a bit, and as 1996 World Champion Chris Larson of Annapolis and his National Sailing Hall of Fame team finished third in that race they took the lead by the narrowest of margins, tied on points with Canadian Rossi Milev and his Clear Air crew.
With a third-place finish in the next race, Larson and his team, which included Dave Hughes, Moose McClintock, Steve Frazier, and Curtis Florence, pulled ahead a bit more, establishing a 2-point lead over 2006-2007 World Champion Mauricio Santa Cruz and his Brazilian team on Bruschetta, who now found himself winning the tiebreaker with Milev and setting up the final race as a real nail-biter to see who would emerge at the top of the highly competitive 76-boat fleet.
In the end, Santa Cruz and the Bruschetta crew, with a third in the seventh race to Larson's 11th and Milev's 14th, came away with a third J/24 World Championship, making him the second-most successful J/24 skipper in class history (Ken Read still holds the record with six titles) and the first non-US sailor to win a Worlds in this country.

Friday, May 8 - 2009 - Uncooperative weather again proved to be the biggest challenge for organizers and racers in the 2009 J/24 World Championship, hosted by Annapolis Yacht Club and sailed on the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. With an unsettled weather system tracking into the area, the breeze settled down enough for a single race before thunder squalls made continuing competition impossible.
Pulling into the lead of the 79-boat fleet with a fifth-place finish in the day's only race was 2008 World Champion Andrea Casale and his Fiamma Gialla team, including Vittorio Rosso, Ernesto Angeletti, Enzo di Capua, and Fabio Montefusco.
"It was a very close finish," Casale said, describing being in the middle of three overlapped boats, Argentinian Alejandro Rossi's Cerro Castor in fourth, Fiamma Gialla, and Annapolitan Chris Larson's National Sailing Hall of Fame in sixth.
"It was a tricky race," he said. "The breeze was pretty steady, 180 to 190, but we are not used to the tide. In the Mediterranean where we come from, there are no tides or current."
Despite the challenges, Casale was pleased. "It was one of the best of the four," he said with a smile. "In one, there was too little wind, and in the first two, I didn't like racing in the rain. But we’ve come a long way to be here, and we're happy to be in the fight."

Friday, May 8 - 2009 - The Volvo Ocean Race is to move its headquarters from the south
coast of England to Alicante, Spain. The Mediterranean city will become
both the start port and the home of the race for the next three
editions.
The announcement was made at a press conference today in Boston
after the signing of an agreement between the Volvo Ocean Race and the
Spanish regional government of Valencia.
"This is a great moment for the Volvo Ocean Race," Knut Frostad, the
race CEO said in revealing details of the alliance. "One of our goals,
as we've looked ahead to the next race, has been to establish long-term
relationships with our stopover ports, and, for economic reasons, to
base our headquarters in one of the stopover ports. But this only makes
sense when both parties can make a long-term commitment. And that's the
partnership we are announcing today with Alicante.
"Spain has played a significant part in recent editions of the race.
Spanish sailors outnumber all other nations in the current competition
and Spain has shown consistently that it understands event culture, and
how to organize sporting competition."

Friday, May 8 - 2009 - Here's the latest from the PUMA team getting ready to leave their home town of Boston in the VOR:
PUMA Ocean Racing, dubbed the Boston hometown team due to their ties with the Massachusetts city, are pumped up and ready for the fifth In Port race of the Volvo Ocean Race 2008-09, to be held this weekend. The first of two races to be held on Broad Sound, just outside Boston Harbor will start at 1300 local (1800 GMT). Conditions are forecast to be favorable and the PUMA team will be gunning for much-needed points.
Currently sitting in third place overall on the leaderboard, the PUMA team are just 0.5 points behind second-placed team Telefonica Blue. In front of a home crowd, the PUMA team will be looking to secure top points for the day in order to overtake the Spanish entry. A maximum of four points can be earnt from the two short 50 minute races. In Port racing is designed to show off these incredible 70 foot racing machines to spectators both on the water and lining the shores of east Boston.
Skipper Ken Read (USA) commented: "Almost two years ago to the day, we announced our PUMA Ocean Racing team program and our intention to compete in this race, here in Boston. Almost exactly one year ago to the day, award winning actress Salma Hayek was here to christen our boat il mostro right here at the dock, and finally, this weekend we're actually going to race here, in the waters of Boston. It's been such a long journey to get to where we are, but we're really looking forward to going out and doing what we do best, right here in Boston. It's like home to us, with one of PUMA's headquarters based just down the road; we hope we can put on a good show for all of Beantown this weekend."
"In terms of points,Telefonica Blue and Ericsson 4 are our two closest rivals, for sure we always have our eyes out on those two guys, but on Saturday we'll be racing against the whole fleet - round the cans out there anything can happen."
Following the In Port racing, the PUMA Ocean Racing team will spend their final week in the States preparing for the start of leg seven from Boston to Galway, Ireland. Leg seven from Boston starts at 13:00 on Saturday May 16th.

Friday, May 8 - 2009 - With the front runners in the Portimão Global Ocean Race locked into the stable North-Easterly Trade Winds, the drag race north to Charleston, South Carolina, is well underway. Over the past 24 hours, speeds between the two double-handed class leaders have been evenly matched with Beluga Racer (pictured) and Desafio Cabo de Hornos averaging between 11-12 knots. Furthest west, solo sailor Michel Kleinjans on Roaring Forty has been regularly polling just a knot less than the double-handers and to the south, Team Mowgli have been building pace as they shake-off the Doldrums.
In the latest 0620 GMT position poll today (08/05), Felipe Cubillos and José Muñoz are sailing at 12 knots on board Desafio Cabo de Hornos in second place: a fraction faster than Boris Herrmann and Felix Oehme on race leader Beluga Racer although the distance between the two rivals has remained locked at 57 miles for the past 24 hours. The speed deficit between the double-handed teams and single-hander Michel Kleinjans means Roaring Forty has dropped 45 miles behind Beluga Racer since dawn on Thursday and the Belgian solo sailor now trails the German team by 166 miles. For Jeremy Salvesen and David Thomson on Team Mowgli the additional, Trade Wind-pace of the leaders to the north has increased the distance to Beluga Racer to 465 miles as the British duo patiently wait for stronger breeze.

Thursday, May 7 - 2009 - The 33rd America's Cup defending yacht club, Société Nautique de Genève (SNG), regrets that the Challenger of Record, the Golden Gate Yacht Club (GGYC), rejected an invitation to resume talks on terms for the 33rd America's Cup. It also appears to have closed the door to other teams using its latest legal action to disregard Italian team Green Comm's challenge.
In a letter sent on 5 May, the SNG invited the GGYC to meet to continue discussions, including such areas as the date, the venue, the race format, the participation of other challengers and the presentation of the Custom-House Registry of vessel. To the SNG's disappointment, the GGYC responded simply by reminding the defending yacht club of the court hearing scheduled for the 14 May in New York.
The SNG plans to persevere with its appeal to GGYC to join its representatives around a table to discuss these matters face to face. The invitation to negotiate remains open.

Thursday, May 7 - 2009 - Yesterday the commodore from an Italian America's Cup entry, Circolo Vela Gargnano wrote a letter to GGYC looking to participate in a multihull multi-challenge event. GGYC responded saying they could not comment until pending litigation with the defender was resolved. Here is the letter:
Dear Commodore,
We are writing to express to you our willingness to participate in a multi-challenger event in multi-hull vessels.
Our team has actively prepared to participate in the 33rd America's Cup and we intend to compete in multi-hulls provided enough time is given to the challengers to prepare.
We are a yacht club eligible under the provisions of the Deed of Gift and we represent Italy, a country that has consistently taken part to all America's Cup editions in the last 25 years and that it is widely recognized as being among the top sailing nations and ship builders in the world.
Recognizing that the Defender and current Challenger of record have expressed their willingness for a multi-challenger event, we encourage you to open a challenger selection process and to make arrangements on the dates, courses, number of trials, rules and sailing regulations, and any and all other conditions of the races.
While we acknowledge that all involved yacht clubs have invested and will invest lot of time and resources in building their vessels, we know that a regatta in multi-hull vessels will cause the greatest interest in the sport of sailing and in the America's Cup community and we are looking forward to competing in the 33rd America's Cup very soon.
For your information, the same letter has been sent to Société Nautique de Genève.
We urge you to reply to our genuine request as soon as possible.

Wednesday, May 6 - 2009 - Looks like the thought of going back to court doesn't flush in the Alinghi bowl. They want to chat it up some more. Here's the latest statement to the press:
In a letter to the Commodore of the Golden Gate Yacht Club, the Société Nautique de Genève yesterday invited representatives of the Challenger of Record to Geneva on the 11 May for a follow-up meeting as was discussed at the conclusion of the 23 April session.
SNG was disappointed with GGYC's decision to once again turn to litigation, but the defending yacht club remains willing to continue mutual consent negotiations on the race date and other issues regarding the next America's Cup and hopes that the American team is willing to attend the proposed meeting.

Wednesday, May 6 - 2009 -Today Groupama 3 has announced that they are officially on standby from today – through June 2nd, ready to set off on their attempt at the Mediterranean crossing record (Marseilles/Carthage).
Franck Cammas and his crew are of seven are awaiting the most favorable conditions for a speed record spanning 458 miles. The time to beat is 17 hours 56 minutes 33 seconds, held since September of 2004 by Bruno Peyron aboard the big cat Orange II.
“"Since we left Lorient, Brittany, on 17th March 2009, we'’ve covered nearly
8,000 miles aboard Groupama 3," said Cammas. "The crew know the boat well and we’re ready to cast off.
"In order to be as fast as we possibly can be, there will be just seven of us onboard instead of the usual ten. The length of the record(17 hours) enables this as we won'’t require any watches to get rest. All we have to do now is to wait for a good breeze. It’'s a really great record, which sets off from a place where I began sailing over twenty years ago”."
