Not all great sailors have the ability to communicate, inspire and work in a constructive way with technicians. Those who do will have more success in working quickly through the many permutations. Then there is the racing itself. That is the small tip of the iceberg that the public get to see. The teams that are race- tested and experienced will execute best on the day. In the race there are pressures, there are unforeseen situations, last- minute breakdowns, postponements, media requests, sponsor requirements – all of which have to be dealt with. The better a team are organised, the more experience they have, the more they have ‘the right stuff’, the better they can deal with every- thing that comes at them on race day. My predictions? Without getting into an analytical study, I would say that Emirates Team New Zealand, BMW Oracle Racing, Luna Rossa and Victory Challenge will be the final four in the Louis Vuitton Cup. Who could upset this group? Only Desafío Español and Capitalia Mascalzone Latino. The America’s Cup itself? It won’t be 5-0. Alinghi will win but they will lose two or three races. The key: coming back after an unexpected defeat to play at 100 per cent the very next race, which may be on the same day. All teams will lose a race they thought they should win. That is the nature of sailing. Too many variables. But who will let that loss throw them off their game?

    Contenuti 1. Prefazione di Sir Peter Blake 2. America's Cup History 3. Luna Rossa History 4. Patrizio Bertelli - Presidente 5. Il Circolo della Vela Sicilia Settembre 2017 1. Prefazione di Sir Peter Blake al libro "Luna Rossa" sulla 30^ America's Cup (2000) La Coppa America è un trofeo molto ambito, ma che di rado ha cambiato mano in 150 anni. Questo non è uno sport per deboli di cuore. Non è impresa da prendere alla leggera o per capriccio. É una lotta tra velisti di Yacht Club sparsi nel mondo che vogliono disperatamente la stessa cosa: mettere le mani sulla Coppa. Il prestigio per il vincitore vale più di qualsiasi altro riconoscimento sportivo. É proprio vincere l’invincibile e fare l’impossibile che affascina uomini di mare, sognatori e miliardari. Ma la vittoria non arriva facilmente. Anzi, il più delle volte non arriva affatto. L’unico modo per vincere è continuare a partecipare, continuare a tornare, una volta dopo l’altra, con l’intimo convincimento di potercela fare. Esitare dopo il primo tentativo non fa parte delle regole del gioco. Ci vogliono persone straordinarie, con una motivazione ferrea, grande esperienza, attenzione per i particolari e dedizione incondizionata. É un gioco in cui, per quanto tu ti possa impegnare, per quanto tu possa essere motivato, per quanto tu possa essere disposto a spendere, la vittoria non è mai garantita. Per alcuni diventa una specie di droga. É un gioco che puoi arrivare a odiare profondamente, salvo poi scoprire che non puoi farne a meno, finché non vinci. Poi avviene la metamorfosi, o almeno è quanto è successo a me.

  • The International Flying Dutchman Class Book
    THE INTERNATIONAL FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS BOOK www.sailfd.org 1 2 Preface and acknowledgements for the “FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS BOOK” by Alberto Barenghi, IFDCO President The Class Book is a basic and elegant instrument to show and testify the FD history, the Class life and all the people who have contributed to the development and the promotion of the “ultimate sailing dinghy”. Its contents show the development, charm and beauty of FD sailing; with a review of events, trophies, results and the role past champions . Included are the IFDCO Foundation Rules and its byelaws which describe how the structure of the Class operate . Moreover, 2002 was the 50th Anniversary of the FD birth: 50 years of technical deve- lopment, success and fame all over the world and of Class life is a particular event. This new edition of the Class Book is a good chance to celebrate the jubilee, to represent the FD evolution and the future prospects in the third millennium. The Class Book intends to charm and induce us to know and to be involved in the Class life. Please, let me assent to remember and to express my admiration for Conrad Gulcher: if we sail, love FD and enjoyed for more than 50 years, it is because Conrad conceived such a wonderful dinghy and realized his dream, launching FD in 1952. Conrad, looked to the future with an excellent far-sightedness, conceived a “high-perfor- mance dinghy”, which still represents a model of technologic development, fashionable 3 water-line, low minimum hull weight and performance . Conrad ‘s approach to a continuing development of FD, with regard to materials, fitting and rigging evolution, was basic for the FD success.

    Exhibit AA BMW ORACLE Racing Page 1 of 2 z Overview z Current z Archive z Results z Live Ticker z Social Networks 05.05.2008 CET BMW ORACLE Racing partners with VPLP in design of AC Multihull. The leading French multihull design firm of Van Peteghem / Lauriot Prévost (VPLP) are working with BMW ORACLE Racing’s design team in developing its new mulithull boat for the America’s Cup Deed of Gift match, the team confirmed today. Firm principals Vincent Lauriot Prévost and Marc Van Peteghem are integrated with the BMW ORACLE Racing core design team for the project. VPLP are the lead designers in conjunction with the BMW ORACLE Racing team, led by design coordinator Mike Drummond. BMW ORACLE Racing’s Michel Kermarec heads up the performance prediction and appendage design. “We are enjoying working with and learning from the vast experience of VPLP in multihulls,” Drummond said. “The French multihull community, in general, are leaders in these yachts and we are benefiting greatly. When we first looked at a multihull in the event of a Deed of Gift challenge, we were impressed with the record of the Groupama series of racing multihulls. Franck Cammas and VPLP designed yachts have been breaking speed records and leading this field, so VPLP was the natural choice.” Vincent Lauriot Prévost affirmed, “We are delighted to have been chosen by BMW ORACLE Racing to design the new multihull for the 33rd America’s Cup. To be able to integrate our expertise in high performance multihull design with the experienced BMW ORACLE Racing design team, as well as with the construction team in the United States, is exciting and inspiring for VPLP.
