In pole position for the expected conditions seems to be Damien Seguin FRA (Groupe Apicil) on the 5th place, 58nm back, all the way in the East. —– With Stéphane Diraison FRA, Didac Costa ESP, and Kojiro Shiraishi JPN, the ranks 18-20 did pass Cape Horn last night.

We hot-footed it over there, but by the time we arrived the boat had just as mysteriously disappeared. All we had to go on were a couple of photos and the boat’s name, Reprobate.But being the intrepid reporters we are (and generally nosy) we asked around and eventually found our way to the source of the mystery. The odd-looking boat is a sharpie (yes, that is actually a type of boat as well as everyone’s favorite marking pen) and is owned by Chris Gibb, a Bay Area local who who spends a large part of the year in Florida.

(Will Ricketson/American Magic/)In Auckland, New Zealand, the 75-foot foilers will be wedged into small, inshore boundary-constrained racetracks where wind shifts still matter, but given the speed of the boats and the dimensions of the racecourse, it’s about a minute of sailing between ­boundaries. Tack on shifts? Maybe not. Given the cost of maneuvers, it could very well be worth the distance loss of sailing a header for a short period in order to earn a longer board on the other tack. Change is ­ubiquitous in the America’s Cup, and when the boat type changes, so too does the role of the weather team, an important component of every serious Cup syndicate For the rest of the story from sailingworld.com CLICK HERE!Inaugural grand prix all set for Gaeta February, 8 teams confirmed with more spaces available.
