Team Alvimedica | Volvo Ocean Race 2014-2015

Reality hits | Volvo Ocean Race 2014-2015: "If the boats had been tempted to say a little prayer to the weather gods as they stumbled and slowed in the light winds of the Gibraltar Strait, then they might want to be careful what they wish for in future. Storms and rain battered and bruised the hulls of the boats, soaking skin and stinging eyes – and the sailors were left breathless and weary after a long night of wrestling the waves. “You know you’re in trouble when you see all red on the charts,” says Team Vestas Wind tired navigator Wouter nervously, bleary eyes blinking and squinting in the warm, emergency glow of his computer screen. And it was all red. Red enough to highlight his faded, fatigued face and his lips, giving extra weight and emphasis to his words. Alongside his skipper Chris Nicholson, he has hardly slept a wink. Well, there’s no time to rest." (read more at the link above)

Another exciting day of sailing • Dutch Match Cup | 24-28 September 2014 | Lelystad, Holland: "Canfield is trough to the semi finals, he has sailed a almost perfect Round Robin with only 2 points down. A big concurrent was Richard on a second place with a score 9 out of 12. It is an exciting final round, Hansen is the very last drop out. The Swedish team had trouble all week handling the boats. For Canfield from US One it’s a really good day, they even get some rest before the Semi Finals. “It doesn’t feel like a good day, mostly because we had the feeling that we weren’t as fast as we thought.” The only race Canfield lost was against Swinton. “We had a bit of trouble at the start which put Swinton ahead of us. He took his penalty just minutes before the start giving us a change to head up. But unfortunately we still lost this race.” US One will be watching the quarter finals tomorrow. “There will be some though matches, everyone is really competitive against each other. I really don’t have a clue who we will meet in the Semi Finals.”..."
