Super Model Tatjana Patitz gets her 18th man position, sailing aboard with BMW ORACLE Racing in Valencia on Monday 16 April, as described by Skipper Chris Dickson believes that the model will bring them luck. In all likelihood, her presence on the yacht will further boost the motivation of the crew on the first regatta day of the Louis Vuitton Cup. However another teams cleaning lady (Cushla) remarked “There are already enough TITS on that boat”. But confessed not as nice.

Larson’s ARSE collapses at 38.3kts on SAILROCKET

SAILROCKET RUN 4 of HOMETRACK PERFORMANCE DEVELOPMENT PERIOD. 9/04/07

Well that was probably the shortest and wildest ride of my sailing life.

It was our 8th day at ’speedspot’ in Walvis Bay and conditions were looking good. We have neap tides at the moment so had to stay away from the shallows. We logged the wind for two minute sessions before and after the run and it showed an average around 17.5 knots. I guessed 18 to 19.

The launch and initial round-up into the wind to get flow attached went as normal. We had seen gusts up to 20 so I stuck out a little just in case. It was obviously quite choppy this far off the beach as Sailrocket quickly lifted onto her planing surfaces. (more…)
