33rd Americas Cup Valencia

Here are some photos of yesterday's no race day.

A few more photos

Unfortunately i did not get any photos of Alinghi as the boat we were on only went 10 Knots. The guys that were towing Alinghi were going very fast. Well it also looks like no racing tomorrow as they are expecting hi winds.

Hi YachtNews. The schooner is S/Y ADIX by Astilleros de Mallorca

No race yet. Will hear at 10:30 if something is going to happen. Sitting on a boat just waiting for the good news so that we can go out.

No Racing today.

You are right on that Kevin. On Monday there was no wind at the start but where we were there was a lot of wind. Tuesday would have been a good racing day. Todays event was cancelled due to high swell. We were out doing a sea trial, i will say the swell was high, we heard that Alinghi was coming out to practice so we stuck around, we were told that the crew was on and the left the dock 2 minutes later back to the dock and the crew got off. I find it difficult to believe that there was no wind as the 3 masted schooner(Post 41) was sailing with her sails up and she needs a lot more wind to make her sail.
Form what i understand there will be no sailing on Friday as the weather is getting worse, So lets see what Friday brings

This was Murphy's Law on the day i am not on a boat they decided to race. At least i had a back up plan and gave my camera to a friend. And what a day. We had some racing and what a race it was. Alinghi getting a penalty and BMW Oracle stalling the boat at the start. BMW Oracle was over 600 meters behind and they caught up with Alinghi very quickly, just to pass them and have on hell of a lead all the way back. They finished about 3500 meters ahead of Alinghi. Well done BMW Oracle. Lets see what Sunday brings!!!
