Los barcos fueron temprano hacia la cancha de regatas, ya que la primer prueba del día estaba establecida para las 11 horas. Pero el viento calmó en demasía y la Comisión de Regatas tuvo que anular la regata que había largado y postergar la partida por más de dos horas. Durante ese tiempo, los competidores permanecieron en el agua a la espera de un aumento en la intensidad del viento que les permitiera empezar a correr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finalmente, pasadas las dos de la tarde comenzó la competencia. El Mendieta, cuyo timonel es Francisco Van Avermaete, se mantuvo en la delantera a partir del primer sotavento y pudo cruzar la línea de llegada quedándose en el primer puesto de la última regata del campeonato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hasta ayer el estadounidense Tim Healy, último campeón mundial de J24, venía liderando el campeonato con su barco 11th Hour Racing. Pero anoche fue descalificado de la regata 7 luego de una protesta y su puntaje cayó hasta el octavo lugar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muy buen desempeño tuvo el Guerrero, timoneado por Luis Olcese. Es la única embarcación representante de Perú que vino a correr el campeonato y quedó en el segundo lugar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A las 18:30 realizaremos la entrega de premios y la ceremonia de clausura de este Mundial que volvió a realizarse en Buenos Aires después de 14 años y contó con la participación de 58 embarcaciones de Argentina, Australia, Brasil, Chile, Estados Unidos, Italia, Gran Bretaña, Perú y Uruguay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.j24worlds2011.org.ar/Popup.aspx?Id=1290"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Posiciones finales click acá&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-8185423636815956861?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/8185423636815956861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/8185423636815956861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/historico-alejo-rigoni-con-luca-es-el.html' title='Histórico, Alejo Rigoni con Luca es el nuevo campéon mundial de J-24'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4xXKGsEkAag/TsgetNh4TcI/AAAAAAAAptE/-luVYezjwb4/s72-c/Download.aspx.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-2477456400059666734</id><published>2011-11-19T18:06:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-19T18:07:26.702-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ACWS'/><title type='text'>ACWS San Diego en vivo</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="420" height="315"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Vt8UQ6640tE?version=3&amp;amp;hl=es_ES"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Vt8UQ6640tE?version=3&amp;amp;hl=es_ES" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-2477456400059666734?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/2477456400059666734'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/2477456400059666734'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/acws-san-diego-en-vivo.html' title='ACWS San Diego en vivo'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-4470074702766911935</id><published>2011-11-19T16:27:00.001-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-19T16:29:49.747-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><title type='text'>TJV día 17, tercer puesto para Banque Populaire</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Fuente info TJV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday, november 19th, 2011 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;In Like Buses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Armel Le Cléac'h and Christopher Pratt completed the podium of the tenth edition of the Transat Jacques Vabre when the duo, looking tired, drawn, but brought their IMOCA Open 60 Banque Populaire across the finish line in Puerto Limon, Costa Rica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Banque Populaire finish third behind victors, three times winner Jean Pierre Dick with Jérémie Beyou on Virbac Paprec 3 and Britain’s Alex Thomson and Spain’s Guillermo Altadill on Hugo Boss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finishing around five hours and 40 minutes behind Hugo Boss, the duo expressed their satisfaction at winning the ‘race of the south’, when they lead in today’s regular stream of finishers which had chosen the more southerly routing, the opposite to that which proved ultimately decisive for the first two duos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a head to head duel which has run relentlessly through the last seven days Banque Populaire finally eclipsed near sistership  MACIF sailed by François Gabart  and Christopher Pratt who broke the finish line only 1 hour and 50 minutes later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The fight with MACIF has been really great. This afternoon we were worried we would not come third, so it’s great to make it. We won the race of the southerners, in the end the northerners were too strong.” Said Le Cléac’h who finished second in the last Vendée Globe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The young MACIF duo revealed that they have spent the last more than five days running with no power, reduced to navigating without detailed weather files and using only a small hand held GPS and unable to use their autopilot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gabart and Pratt proved just a step too far ahead for Kito de Pavant and Yann Regniau on Groupe Bel who staged the biggest comeback of the race. From carrying the ‘lantern rouge’ at the back of the fleet after they caught themselves in very light breezes in the south of the Azores high pressure ridge, at one stage just making 100 miles in 36 hours, de Pavant and Regniau worked steadily back into the fleet to finish one hour and 14 minutes behind MACIF.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An audacious move to the south as they lined up for the Caribbean may have helped, but they proved Groupe Bel’s speed in the Caribbean and finished fifth, feeling like something of a victory according to de Pavant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Safran, winner of the last edition of the race, maintained a finishing schedule which proved akin to a bus timetable, arriving in sixth one hour and 23 minutes behind Groupe Bel. Marc Guillemot and Yann Eliès, swapped from a northerly routing to the south and then  also struggled in the light airs of the Azores high area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only 45 miles separated seventh placed Bureau Vallée of the Burton brothers with ninth placed Mike Golding and Bruno Dubois, with Dominique Wavre and Michèle Paret  lying eighth on Mirabaud. Golding and Dubois have closed more than 50 miles on Mirabaud in 24 hours and were just 20 miles behind on the mid afternoon rankings today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Multi 50 race leader Actual are due in this evening.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quotes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Armel Le Cléac'h, Banque Populaire:&lt;br /&gt;“It was really intense physically from start to finish. We had a rough start with a few problems which drove us into the red and from there we never stopped. A lot has been under gennaker and spinnaker in the breeze. The fight with MACIF has been really great. This afternoon we were worried we would not come third, so it’s great. We won the race of the southerners, in the end the northerners were too strong.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;François Gabart, MACIF:&lt;br /&gt;"We were not able to push the boat to the limit all the time. At the Azores there was a choice to go in the south ... We do not regret our choice of route because we just don’t know what would have happened if we had gone north. We can’t forget that two good boats have had to stop because they broke. And we had a lot of worries. Just before passing the Dominican Republic, we had a power failure. So for five days, we could not download certain weather files, we could not use the pilot driver. We had to switch the keel by hand. We worked with our little hand-held GPS. Fortunately, I had plugged in the good waypoints, islands in the Caribbean Sea. So for 5 days, we were "in the dark." And we found that the port shroud (the sidestay which supports the mast) is damaged by about 20 or 30%. It worked out because we were two up, but solo, I would not have been able to finish the race. And anyway, I wonder how it will be solo!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kito de Pavant, Groupe Bel:&lt;br /&gt;“There are some 5th places that feel like victories! We were last half way through the race, which is not a pleasant experience. We still managed to get back into the game and to try out the odd strategy, which paid off. Today, having seen that Groupe Bel sails as fast as the more recent boats is reassuring.&lt;br /&gt;We are happy. This story has a bad plot, it hurt having to fight back so hard, but the boat is good, really good and we have never had to open the tool box. I am starting to have some confidence in the boat.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yann Regniau, Groupe Bel:&lt;br /&gt;“The ridge was just really difficult. I was so disappointed, it’s so hard when your pals are gone and you make just 100 miles in 36 hours.”&lt;br /&gt;Marc Guillemot, Safran: “Well we are trained for the Vendée Globe because we hardly steered at all. For the Vendée Globe it is good but not for this race. Our problem with the rudder, the connecting link, we noticed at the Azores. The helm was already hard and heavy, but fortunately the pilot could cope. Without it we would have been out. Yann, like me, we could not steer it.”&lt;br /&gt;Yann Eliès, Safran: “That is one of the things about a Transat two up, one of you can steer at times, all the time. And we could see when our rivals were steering. We were always a bit off the pace and up against a Seb Col type helm that is just not enough, we were able to measure ourselves with Kito against comparable boats.

La clasificación sigue abierta ya que el Ironbound de David Murphy y el Peninsula Petroleum de John Bassadone, tercero y cuarto también tienen opciones a la victoria final ya que tan solo tienen a cinco puntos a los dos primeros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En la primera prueba del día –quinta del global- el viento sopló con intensidad y la media en este inicio de jornada ya estaba en 20 nudos. Los barcos navegaban con velocidad y en la salida los primeros en buscar la boya de barlovento fueron Team Nika de Vladimir Prosikhin, Islas Canarias Puerto Calero y Ironbound de David Murphy. Ya en el primer paso por barlovento el Team Aqua de Chris Bake se había puesto en cabeza de la flota, seguido de Ceeref de Igor Lah, Katusha de Gennadi Timchenko y Peninsula Petroleum, el Islas Canarias Puerto Calero montó octavo. El viento roló y hubo un cambio de recorrido, en sotavento repitieron Aqua y Ceeref y tercero ya fue el Peninsula Petroleum. En la segunda ceñida Aqua y Cerref se mantuvieron, Katusha recuperó la tercera posición y Peninsula Petroleum la cuarta. El Islas Canarias Puerto Calero escaló un puesto y afrontó séptimo la última popa. Mientras tanto el No Way Back de Pieter Heerema inicio una espectacular pasando de la décimo cuarta posición a la sexta séptima puesto en el que terminó. Ganó el Team Aqua, seguido de Ceeref y Peninsula Petroleum. Islas Canarias Puerto Calero entró octavo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El inicio de la segunda manga del día tardó más de lo previsto ya que la entrada de un chubasco provocó que el viento rolase y perdiera intensidad, sobre unos diez nudos, suficientes para poder disputar el resto de la jornada. El Islas Canarias Puerto Calero salió muy bien supo defenderse bien en cabeza y llegar segundo a barlovento justo por detrás de Ironbound, tercero montaba Katusha. A partir de ahí el grupo de dispersó en dos partes, por la izquierda Islas Canarias Puerto Calero, Artemis y Katusha y por la derecha Ironbound y No Way Back. En la mitad del recorrido recogieron beneficios los barcos que navegaron por la derecha con los americanos primeros en la puerta de sota, seguidos de los holandeses, terceros los rusos y cuartos los españoles. Las posiciones poco variarían hasta el final, con victoria para el Ironbound, segundo No Way Back, tercero Katusha, cuarto Islas Canarias Puerto Calero. El Peninsula Petroleum sólo ha podido ser noveno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En la salida de la tercera prueba el Islas Canarias Puerto Calero salió muy bien en cabeza, hecho que le permitió dominar y llegar al primer paso por barlovento el primero, seguido del Aleph, Team Aqua y Peninsula Petroleum. En la primera empopada el barco francés adelantó al canario, primero y segundo en el paso por la puerta de sotavento, tercero fue Peninsula Petroleum. El último paso por barlovento se mantuvieron las tres primeras posiciones y en la línea de meta igualmente con el Aleph primero, Islas Canarias Puerto Calero segundo y Peninsula Petroleum tercero, lo que colocaba nuevamente y de forma provisional al barco de Daniel Calero al frente de la general.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El viento se mantuvo soplaba sobre los nueve nudos en la salida de la cuarta prueba del día, octava del global, el Islas Canarias Puerto Calero salía con el AEZ, pero en esta ocasión no consiguió salir en el grupo de cabeza y llegaría a barlovento en décimo tercera posición. El Team Aqua montaría primero, seguido de Peninsula Petroleum y de Ironbound. En la puerta de sotavento  se mantendrían los tres primeros puestos, mientras el Islas Canarias Puerto Calero remontaría tres posiciones, montando décimo. El viento roló y hubo cambio de recorrido para el último paso por barlovento, donde los barcos que se fueron por el lado derecho dominaron la situación como Artemis e Islas Canarias Puerto Calero que empezaron la remontada, mientras que los de la izquierda Katusha, Ironbound y Synergy que pasaron por detrás de ellos. A la llegada a barlovento primero Aqua, segundo Artemis, tercero Aleph y cuarto Islas Canarias Puerto Calero, certificando así la gran ceñida donde recuperó hasta seis puestos. En la última empopada Artemis consiguió pasar a Aqua, que tenía problemas en la izada del spi, con lo que también pasó Aleph que acabaría segundo, Islas Canarias Puerto Calero cruzaría la línea en cuarta posición y Peninsula Petroleum en la sexta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Calero comentaba al llegar a puerto que “estamos peleando por estar en lo más alto, la verdad que nos dicen esto antes de empezar y no nos lo hubiéramos creído. Aún queda un día por delante y puede pasar de todo, pero nosotros confiamos en nuestras posibilidades y más que nunca saldremos a ganar”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Bassadone explicaba que “estamos en el mejor momento de la temporada, la tripulación es excelente y la verdad que llegar al último día con posibilidades es para nosotros el mejor regalo. Tengo una tripulación de auténticos cracks”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para mañana domingo se ha adelantado una hora el inicio de las pruebas, a las 11,30, con el fin que se puedan disputar tres pruebas y poder recuperar así alguna de las que no se pudieron disputar en la jornada del viernes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CLASIFICACIÓN (Tras ocho mangas)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Artemis (SWE), 4-5-1-1-4-8-12-1, 36 puntos&lt;br /&gt;2 Islas Canarias Puerto Calero (ESP), 3-1-7-7-8-4-2-4, 36 puntos&lt;br /&gt;3 Ironbound (USA), 9-3-5-4-10-1-4-5, 41 puntos&lt;br /&gt;4 Peninsula Petroleum (GBR), 2-2-4-12-3-9-3-6, 41 puntos&lt;br /&gt;5 Aqua (GBR), 7-8-10-2-1-10-6-3 (+1), 48 puntos&lt;br /&gt;6 No Way Back (NED), 1-12-3-3-7-2-10-12, 50 puntos&lt;br /&gt;7 Katusha (RUS), 8-11-2-8-5-3-9-10, 56 puntos&lt;br /&gt;8 Ceeref (SLO), 6-10-8-5-2-12-5-8, 56 puntos&lt;br /&gt;9 Aleph (FRA), 14-4-12-11-6-13-1-2, 63 puntos&lt;br /&gt;10 Nika (RUS), 10-6-13-6-11-5-8-13, 72 puntos&lt;br /&gt;11 Synergy (RUS), 12-9-6-9-9-7-11-11, 74 puntos&lt;br /&gt;12 AEZ (AUT), 5-7-9-13-12-11-13-14 (+1), 85 puntos&lt;br /&gt;13 MAG Racing (POL), 11-14-15-10-12-6-14-9, 91 puntos&lt;br /&gt;14 RUS7 (RUS), 13-13-11-14-13-14-7-7, 92 puntos&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-7087420047642491806?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/7087420047642491806'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/7087420047642491806'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/mundial-de-rc44-todo-se-definira-manana.html' title='Mundial de RC44, todo se definirá mañana'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RtniEd1AkH8/TsgC2PjY_fI/AAAAAAAAps4/ljulaV-bovk/s72-c/RC44WCHnm_111119nm_1000.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-2163162398243997385</id><published>2011-11-19T13:58:00.003-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-19T14:01:28.680-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Volvo Ocean Race'/><title type='text'>VOR, Telefónica más cerca de Ciudad del Cabo (ojo, en línea recta)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YEsALw7tj7U/Tsfg2ANI56I/AAAAAAAApsg/Irw4NDVRMT8/s1600/VolvoOceanRace_vor111117_riou_0036.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YEsALw7tj7U/Tsfg2ANI56I/AAAAAAAApsg/Irw4NDVRMT8/s400/VolvoOceanRace_vor111117_riou_0036.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676753073696466850" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Fuente info VOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19 de noviembre de 2011, 15:00h (14:00h UTC) - Etapa 1, Día 15 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;EL TELEFÓNICA ESTIRA SU VENTAJA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El Telefónica continúa ampliando su liderato a medida que recorta millas a destino. Cuando se cumplen dos semanas exactas desde que se inició en Alicante esta Etapa 1 de la Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12, el barco de Iker Martínez navega 51,8 millas por delante del PUMA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El Telefónica se ponía al frente en el reporte de posición de las 14:00h de ayer, y desde entonces ha ampliado su liderato gradualmente hasta las 51,8 millas que le separan del PUMA 24 horas más tarde, la diferencia más abultada desde que comenzaron su particular duelo hace ya dos semanas. A pesar de que la velocidad del viento desciende para ambos barcos a medida que avanzan, todavía mantienen buenos ritmos: 13 y 13,7 nudos en el último parte respectivamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A 117,2 millas del barco de Ken Read (a 169 del de Iker Martínez) se sitúa a esta hora el CAMPER de Chris Nicholson, que ha ido siguiendo la coreografía de sus dos rivales a medida que dirigían sus proas hacia el sureste, aunque sin lograr reducir diferencias hasta esta mañana, cuando apenas ha logrado acercarse un par de millas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El colista vuelve a ser el Groupama, el único que todavía mantiene rumbo sur. El barco de Franck Cammas alterna reportes con velocidad superior a las de sus rivales con otros menos favorables, pero ni con sus mejores registros logra acercarse. En el parte de las 14:00h figura a 418,1 millas del líder, casi 60 más lejos que hace 24 horas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por delante de la flota evolucionan dos sistemas de alta presión separados por un frente frío. Los cuatro equipos lo saben, y sus cuatro navegantes lo estudian con detenimiento para encontrar la mejor ventana por la que colarse rumbo a Ciudad del Cabo. Los comentarios que llegan desde a bordo hablan de que los barcos intentará rodear el anticiclón de Santa Helena, situado relativamente muy al sur, para acelerar en los últimos días directos a destino.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La actual estimación de llegada a Ciudad del Cabo indica que el primer barco en cruzar la línea de meta lo hará el próximo domingo, día 27.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; Parte de posiciones – Día 15 (19 de noviembre, 14:00h):&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1.

Team Sanya (Mike Sanderson), retirado de la Etapa 1 &lt;br /&gt;(* 1Nm, milla náutica = 1,852 km)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Frases desde a bordo:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pablo Arrarte, timonel de Team Telefónica: &lt;br /&gt;“Ayer tomamos la decisión de ir más altos que el PUMA y nos ha salido muy bien. Como preveíamos, hemos tenido más viento que ellos, y nos hemos puesto primeros otra vez. Muy contentos. Un día muy, muy bueno. Hemos trabajado muy duro. La regata está muy igualada, especialmente con PUMA. Está claro que la Volvo Ocean Race será muy difícil, porque los barcos son muy parejos y hay que trabajar duro para sacar esa pequeña diferencia que te permita estar delante. Comparado con la anterior edición, estamos más preparados como equipo para vientos fuertes, y además veo que la igualdad entre barcos es mucho mayor”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will Oxley, navegante de CAMPER con Emirates Team New Zealand:&lt;br /&gt;“A medida que nos acercamos al 15º Sur volverá a complicarse la situación, con dos sistemas de alta presión en el Atlántico Sur separados por un frente frío. Vigilamos de cerca ese frente frío, porque hay poco viento detrás de él. Parece que nuestra ruta nos llevará por debajo del sistema del este, pero la pregunta es cuánto podremos acercarnos a la alta presión; cuanto más nos acerquemos, menor será la distancia a Ciudad del Cabo, pero también habrá menos viento. A largo plazo, esperamos alcanzar un frente que pasará por debajo del sistema de alta presión. Entonces tendremos que pelear para permanecer por delante del frente. Bajará la temperatura muy rápido, y veremos algunas millas de navegación rápida y salvaje”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ken Read, patrón de PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG: &lt;br /&gt;“Pusieron su intermitente izquierdo en Fernando y ya no miraron atrás. Para cuando decidimos tomar esa dirección, simplemente ya no pudimos alcanzarlos. En primer lugar, nos gustaba lo que estábamos haciendo; en segundo, el océano es enorme, y cuando no puedes ver a tu rival es complicado cubrirlo; en tercero, pueden ocurrir muchas cosas en tres horas, que es lo que separa los reportes de posición; y por último, no queremos ser reaccionarios. Esa sería la forma más sencilla de ser alcanzados por los barcos que tenemos por detrás”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yann Riou, tripulante de comunicación de Groupama sailing team:&lt;br /&gt;“La tripulación continúa buscando una oportunidad para recortar distancias respecto a nuestros rivales”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-2163162398243997385?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/2163162398243997385'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/2163162398243997385'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/vor-telefonica-mas-cerca-de-ciudad-del.html' title='VOR, Telefónica más cerca de Ciudad del Cabo (ojo, en línea recta)'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YEsALw7tj7U/Tsfg2ANI56I/AAAAAAAApsg/Irw4NDVRMT8/s72-c/VolvoOceanRace_vor111117_riou_0036.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-7462737524497702236</id><published>2011-11-19T13:54:00.003-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-19T13:57:25.992-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Clases internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='S40'/><title type='text'>La clase Soto 40 reconocida por la ISAF</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Yowz7K2VZHM/Tsffe9I5JEI/AAAAAAAApsU/Bvy_H3gmZpg/s1600/ISAF-%252B-Logo-Soto40.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 164px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Yowz7K2VZHM/Tsffe9I5JEI/AAAAAAAApsU/Bvy_H3gmZpg/s400/ISAF-%252B-Logo-Soto40.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676751578224731202" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Fuente info S40&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;La Clase Soto 40 reconocida por la ISAF&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by WEBMASTER on NOVEMBER 19, 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En la última reunión anual de la ISAF (International SAiling Federation) llevada a cabo en San Juan de Puerto Rico entre el 3 y 13 de Noviembre, la clase Soto40 fué reconocida por la ISAF. A partir de este gran hito para la clase, tuvimos la oportunidad de hablar con Pablo Ferrer (Jefe de Medidores de la clase) y Jorge Araneda, presidente de la clase en Chile y nos dejaron sus impresiones al respecto:   Pablo Ferrer nos cuenta cual fué su trabajo y los próximos pasos a seguir:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“La parte más difícil ha sido (y será) la adecuación de las reglas de clase actuales al formato de reglas de clase estándar que tiene la ISAF. La ISAF exige a las clases que aspiren a tener el estatus de clase reconocida que escriban las reglas de clase siguiendo el formato estándar que además asume otras reglamentos de la ISAF como vinculantes.”&lt;br /&gt;” Cuando la clase decidió que podía aspirar a obtener el estatus de clase reconocida por la ISAF se inició un proceso de “re-escritura” de las reglas. Posteriormente se envió toda la documentación requerida a la ISAF. Durante la reunión anual de la ISAF, diferentes comités estuvieron revisando dicha documentación y mandaron sus recomendaciones al “council” que es el órgano donde se toman todas las decisiones. Estos dictaminaron que la Clase Soto 40 adquiría el estatus de clase reconocida de forma provisional hasta el mes de mayo de 2012, momento en el que se revisaría si la clase ha seguido las recomendaciones de los comités para la corrección y mejora de las reglas de clase.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por su parte, el representante de la flota en Chile, Jorge Araneda, nos decía lo siguiente:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“El reconocimiento ISAF para nuestra Clase, si bien hace rato ya que es una Clase “del mundo” (por donde ya están navegando estos barcos), nos da el aval desde el punto de vista formal que la Clase no solamente fue hecha como un traje a la medida para nosotros los navegantes de esta región, sino que para todo el mundo. Ahora, en particular para la flota chilena, que hoy es por lejos la más numerosa de todas, nos ratifica lo acertada que fue nuestra decisión al elegir este barco para renovar nuestra flota más competitiva, que de correr en fórmula pasamos a one desing.”&lt;br /&gt;“Dado que estamos reconocidos por la ISAF podremos efectivamente hacer un Mundial, el primer Mundial. De no estarlo, hubiese sido cualquier campeonato, un campeonato más, menos Mundial. Estamos trabajando a toda máquina y conjuntamente con el Club Náutico Oceánico para que, primero el Mundial sea realmente Mundial y resulte ser un éxito desde el punto de vista deportivo y organizativo. Queremos recibir y tratar como reyes a nuestros competidores y visitantes de todo el mundo, y difundir ampliamente esta Clase y este maravilloso deporte.”&lt;br /&gt;Sin duda que la clase está atravesando uno de sus mejores momentos y se espera que siga creciendo en los próximos años en distintas partes del mundo, tal como lo hizo durante el 2011.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sailing.org/meetings/37385.php"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Puedes ver mas detalles sobre la reunión anual de la ISAF aqui.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-7462737524497702236?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/7462737524497702236'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/7462737524497702236'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/la-clase-soto-40-reconocida-por-la-isaf.html' title='La clase Soto 40 reconocida por la ISAF'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Yowz7K2VZHM/Tsffe9I5JEI/AAAAAAAApsU/Bvy_H3gmZpg/s72-c/ISAF-%252B-Logo-Soto40.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-8958296040067475343</id><published>2011-11-19T00:33:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-19T00:36:07.904-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='regatas locales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><title type='text'>Mundial de J-24 día 4, Alejo Rigoni nuevo lider.

A esa hora los competidores regresaron a la cancha de regatas, pero nuevamente tuvieron que esperar más de media hora para que levante un poco de viento y comenzar el recorrido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La competencia comenzó con viento del Este de 8 nudos. El Carrera - Double Take, timoneado por Matías Pereira, tuvo un muy buen desempeño. Salió primero en la séptima regata, seguido por el Negra, timoneado por Nicolás Gonzalez, y también en la octava, seguido por el barco chileno Joyita, cuyo timonel es Robert Vernon. La octava regata fue la única del campeonato en la que no hubo ningún barco pasado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoy hubo 10 protestas más, 51 en lo que va del campeonato. Hasta el momento, los jueces siguen tratando las que fueron presentadas hoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mañana es el último día del Mundial. Esperamos con ansias el desenlace de este evento y esperamos disfrutar con todos los competidores la ceremonia de cierre y la entrega de premios que se realizará a las 18:30.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.j24worlds2011.org.ar/Popup.aspx?Id=1290"&gt;Resultados parciales click acá&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-8958296040067475343?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/8958296040067475343'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/8958296040067475343'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/mundial-de-j-24-dia-4-alejo-rigoni.html' title='Mundial de J-24 día 4, Alejo Rigoni nuevo lider.

They finished 15 hrs 4 mins 6 secs after Jean Pierre Dick and Jérémie Beyou on Virbac Paprec 3 who crossed first this morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second place in this biennial classic ocean race which started from Le Havre on Wednesday November 2nd at 1302hrs is a significant return to form for Thomson who has long held a reputation for being one of the fastest skippers in the IMOCA Open 60 class, but who has suffered with a succession of boat failures and disappointments in recent years. In the last edition of the race, 2009, he had to retire after suffering hull damage early in the race, north of the Azores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thomson went back to basics for this race, taking an older Farr designed boat, rather than his more powerful, heavier design which he had built specifically for him. This boat won last year’s solo Route du Rhum-La Banque Postale from St Malo to Guadeloupe and lead the 2008-9 Vendée Globe and also the 2009 edition of this race but finished neither. The British skipper partnered Roland Jourdain to second place in this race in 2003 on Jourdain’s Sill and has set two outright 24 hour distance records during his career in IMOCA Open 60’s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The partnership with Spain’s vastly experienced Guillermo Altadill – who has eight round the world races on his CV including record breaking maxi multiuhulls as well as the development of this IMOCA Open 60 – has proven an inspired choice. Altadill raced the first Barcelona World Race on the boat but had to retire but knows the design well and has hundreds of thousands of ocean racing miles under his belt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugo Boss lead the race for nearly 24 hours before becoming firmly installed in second place on 7th November. Thereafter having built a solid lead on third place, the leading duo were never challenged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First quotes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alex Thomson :  It has been a long day, fantastic to finish in second place for sure. It was very enjoyable and Guillermo did a great job. It was difficult race but I think we are both agreed that it is better to go the hard way than sit for two days with the sails going flap.&lt;br /&gt;Physically it was not too bad for us, the big thing for us was that we did not sleep very much.&lt;br /&gt;Guillermo Altadill : Just normal damage, the boat was perfect in these conditions When we were sailing the first week it was awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alex:  We sailed together since May and we trained before on the Juan K boat which is like 100 times harder than this boat, it was easy compared to the other one and Guillermo is a fantastic sailor who has done more miles than any of us put together I think we got on well. We are both happy to say what we think and we had no problem with that.&lt;br /&gt;Guillermo: I think we are more similar in character and Alex has the solo experience so we have very complementary experiences, a double handed is still having a lack of people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alex :  We took a similar strategy and ended up in the same place. For us this boat lacks a little pace. We were really just waiting for an opportunity, hoping there would be an opportunity close to here, but there wasn’t. They put too many miles on&lt;br /&gt;JP Dick and Jeremie sailed a fantastic race, three times winner – bravo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guillermo : When we come out of the second low we were first, which was good, when you play hard and come out on top, that feels good and then the worst was probably this last day, the last 150 miles have been horrible, you did not know what the wind was going to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alex : We always thought it was possible to win the race. When you take the risk to go into the hard weather you are always a little nervous and it does not look very good. We had one small breakage which maybe cost us 20-30 miles but I don’t think the boat had the pace to beat Virbac Paprec 3. if they had sailed a different strategy then maybe we could have won.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alex : I am ecstatic. A big thank you to Guillermo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The race of Hugo Boss&lt;br /&gt;The Transat Jacques Vabre of Alex Thomson and Guillermo Altadill carries the early hallmarks of a duo finding their feet together, never having done an ocean race together as duo and only having had the boat for 12 days on the water before the start in Le Havre on 2nd November.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So they start relatively conservatively leaving the Channel in sixth and seventh place, concentrating on being with the main pack, pacing themselves initially. As the pack passed to the south of Ireland they were seventh of the 13 starters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As PRB, Safran and Virbac Paprec held slightly north, Hugo Boss was still just to the south of them having risen to fourth, chasing Chéminées Poujoulat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Going through the initial high pressure ridge they were well positioned, still not extreme but then made their move progressively with Virbac Paprec 3 NE of the Azores setting up for the successive big low pressure systems. They are rewarded with the race lead between the 6th and 7th of November. Rivals Cheminées Poujoulat and PRB suffer dmage and have to retire. And the pack have stayed south at the Azores high pressure to try and find trade winds and initially lose. From there it becomes a two boat drag race across the Atlantic.  Hugo Boss hang relentlessly to the wake of Virbac-Paprec 3, some 35-45 miles behind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the entrance to the Caribbean the gap has only stretched to 82 miles and at the finish today, Hugo Boss was approximately 112 miles behind the race winners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thomson and Altadill reported no major problems with the boat, finishing with a unharmed complete sail inventory. After the first low pressure system they had a couple of hours downtime after they broke a lazy jack and consequently had to replace a mainsail batten, apart from a computer gremlin or two, it has been an uneventful race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thomson has commented how tired they both have been, a consequence of not knowing the boat well and so being more on edge, the physical need to push incredibly hard with a boat which is not rated as one of the quickest in the fleet and also the fact the boat is not well fitted out to facilitate good rest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After retiring from the 2008-9 Vendée Globe and then the 2009 Transat Jacques Vabre with hull damage NE of the Azores and missing out on the 2010-11 Barcelona World Race when his infant son was diagnosed with a heart condition, this is the first major IMOCA Open 60 race that Thomson has finished since spring 2008 when he finished second behind Jean Pierre Dick and Damian Foxall&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-3235008777625677182?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/3235008777625677182'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/3235008777625677182'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/tjv-hugo-boss-es-segundo.html' title='TJV, Hugo Boss es segundo'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tO_phGwggXc/TscjrpEgGPI/AAAAAAAApsM/-gohuUlEzXM/s72-c/111119TJV_2259.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-558482858227044576</id><published>2011-11-19T00:08:00.003-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-19T00:31:24.126-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ACWS'/><title type='text'>ACWS San Diego, Oracle Racing Spithill y Energy Team a la final</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9ENhbTzOhMs/TsciyaH3AsI/AAAAAAAAprw/qOF3YMs310g/s1600/11_074257_AC45SanDiego.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;

El segundo encuentro estuvo más igualado, siendo el equipo de Dean Barker el que ganó la salida, poco antes de que Spithill se les escapara a los neozelandeses que no supieron cubrir bien a su enemigo y dejaron que una rolada (cambio de dirección de viento) en la parte izquierda del campo de regatas llevara a los americanos a la cabeza. Con el jefe del equipo, Larry Ellison, a bordo en los dos encuentros, Spithill y su tripulación se aseguraron un puesto en la Final del sábado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Los chicos han hecho un trabajo fantástico,” dijo Ellison, tras bromear diciendo que estaba decepcionado porque no le habían pedido que llevara él el timón. “Hemos llevado el barco muy bien… dos maniobras clásicas de match race [uno contra uno]. En el segundo encuentro nos hemos puesto delante en un duelo de viradas y en el primer encuentro les hemos sacado de línea en la presalida. Así que ha sido un match race fabuloso.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No hemos navegado muy bien,” dijo un abatido Dean Barker. “Lideramos en uno de los encuentros, pero sencillamente navegamos mal. Desde la primera salida de hoy no nos hemos recuperado. Hemos tenido un mal día.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En la segunda Semifinal, el Energy Team salió por detrás del Artemis Racing en los dos encuentros, antes de emplear una estrategia similar en la primera empopada (yendo en la dirección de la que viene el viento) que le funcionó en las dos ocasiones. El Artemis Racing lideraba hacia los límites del campo de regatas cuando el nuevo patrón del Energy Team, el francés Yann Guichard, situó su barco en el interior del recorrido y en las dos ocasiones encontró una racha en un momento crítico que les colocó por delante del equipo de Terry Hutchinson. De allí en adelante, el Energy Team incrementó la ventaja y terminó ganando cómodamente su puesto en la Final del Match Racing de mañana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“El objetivo no era asumir ningún riesgo en la salida de hoy,” explicó Guichard. “Tras la salida, teníamos mucha confianza en nuestra velocidad y táctica. Así que comenzamos por detrás pero en posición de adelantamiento en la primera trasluchada… Después, el viento rolaba mucho y hemos tenido suerte, ha sido un día excelente. Estoy muy contento por el equipo.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por el contrario, el patrón del Artemis Racing, Terry Hutchinson, solo podía encontrar consuelo en el buen hacer de su equipo, pero no en el resultado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Si el que va detrás tiene más viento que tú, esa es la ventaja de ir detrás. Pero yo siempre prefiero ir líder. Aparte del resultado, estoy contento con el 80 por ciento del día, pero en el 20 por ciento con el que no estoy contento, hay mucho que mejorar allí… Tenemos excelentes regatistas en nuestro equipo y vamos a seguir trabajando en ello.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El equipo español Green Comm Racing salió hoy a entrenar y mañana se enfrentarán por la séptima plaza contra el Team Korea. Fernando León, entrenador y timonel de reserva del equipo, estaba satisfecho con la jornada: “"La verdad es que hemos aprovechado muy bien el día, con unas condiciones de viento como todos los días que hemos tenido aquí, pero con diferente dirección. Hemos entrenado muchas maniobras y salidas con el equipo chino y esto ayuda muchísimo a mejorar y seguir conociendo el barco cada vez mejor. Cada vez tenemos más confianza en la hora de navegar y lo positivo es eso, tener más tiempo entrenando.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El viernes fue el Día de la Salud de los Océanos en la America’s Cup World Series en San Diego, con un día entero de actividades para el público como parte de su programa global de conciencia sobre la salud de los océanos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El Salón del Proyecto de la America’s Cup sobre la Salud de los Océanos ofrece exposiciones interactivas de organizaciones de conservación de los océanos líderes como el Exploratorio de San Francisco y el Instituto Scripps de Oceanografía, así como la exposición de arte itinerante educativa  Washed Ashore, que muestra basura de plástico encontrada en el mar. Además el viernes hubo en el escenario principal una presentación de la famosa oceanógrafa Sylvia Earle y otros defensores de la salud de los océanos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Resultados – San Diego Match Racing Championship – Encuentros de Semifinal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SF1 – Encuentro 1.

El Artemis fue el que mejor se salvó de un final sin apenas viento y que le sirvió para colocarse líder, cogiendo el relevo del gibraltareño Peninsula Petroleum de John Bassadone, que sí sufrió con el poco viento y perdió su privilegiada posición en el podio, ahora es cuarto. Mientras tanto el Islas Canarias Puerto Calero, de Daniel Calero, supo aguantar el tirón y mantener la tercera plaza del podio que ocupa desde la primera jornada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sin duda el viento quiso ser el primer protagonista de la jornada, el Comité de Regatas optó por desplazar el campo de regatas desde la zona de Playa Quemada a la de Playa de Guacimeta donde el viento soplaba con algo más de intensidad y parecía más franco. Aún así el inicio de las pruebas no se produjo hasta dos horas después del horario previsto, con una brisa del sur entre 8 y 10 nudos, hasta caer totalmente al final de la misma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El sueco Artemis de Torbjorn Tornqvist quiso demostrar que ha ido a Puerto Calero a ganar el Mundial y desde el inicio de la primera manga del día –cuarta del global- navegó en cabeza. En un primer momento le siguieron el ruso Team Nika de Vladimir Prosikhin y el gibraltareño y primer líder, Peninsula Petroleum de John Bassadone. En el primer barlovento, llegó por delante el Team Nika, seguido de Artemis, el francés Aleph de Hughes Lepic e Islas Canarias Puerto Calero. En la puerta de sotavento recuperaba la cabeza el Artemis, seguido de Islas Canarias Puerto Calero y el estadounidense Ironbound de David Murphy. El Peninsula Petroleum empezó la recuperación y pasó de la décimo segunda a la cuarta posición, especializándose así en remontadas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La última empopada fue dramática, con la flota muy ajustada. El viento empezó a rolar y a caer de intensidad lo que se convirtió en una auténtica trampa para algunos. El último tramo hizo que hubiera un baile de puestos grande y el único que consiguió aguantar el tirón fue el Artemis, que acabaría ganando la cuarta manga del Mundial, y que le serviría también para colocarse líder de la general. El británico Team Aqua de Chris Blake entraba en segunda posición y el holandés No Way Back de Pieter Heerema, tercero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El Islas Canarias Puerto Calero perdía varias posiciones y entraba en séptima posición, y el gibraltareño Peninsula Petroleum –hasta el momento líder- cruzaba la meta en décimo segunda posición. La llegada fue muy dura sobre todo para Peninsula Petroleum, AEZ, Ironbound y RUS7 que debido a la caída total de viento y la corriente les arrastró sobre el barco del Comité en el momento de la llegada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El viento no daba opción y tras caer de intensidad y viendo lo inestable que estaba el campo de regatas, el Comité decidió por dar por finalizada la jornada y salvarla, de esta forma se seguía cumpliendo con lo marcado esta temporada que en ninguna de las regatas del circuito de RC44’ se ha tenido que suspender debido a las condiciones meteorológicas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Calero estaba muy contento por mantenerse en zona de podio “hoy la mejor conclusión para nosotros es que hemos subido un puesto en la general”, sobre el complicado final de la única prueba disputada comentaba que “íbamos segundos a menos de cincuenta metros de la llegada, cuando el viento cayó por completo y quedamos prácticamente fondeados, pasamos del segundo al quinto puesto”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Bassadone sufrió también en primera persona la caída total del viento “estábamos casi en la línea de llegada cuando el viento cayó y quedamos atrapados entre el AEZ y el RUS7 y acabamos todos sobre el barco del comité”, el armador gibraltareño pero quiere pasar página “fue una pena ya que podíamos seguir en la parte alta de la tabla, pero bueno, mañana será otro día y esperemos que el viento sople con más fuerza”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CLASIFICACIÓN (Tras cuatro mangas)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Artemis (SWE), 4-5-1-1, 11 puntos&lt;br /&gt;2 Islas Canarias Puerto Calero (ESP), 3-1-7-7, 18 puntos&lt;br /&gt;3 No Way Back (ESP), 3-1-7-7, 18 puntos&lt;br /&gt;4 Peninsula Petroleum (GBR), 2-2-4-12, 20 puntos&lt;br /&gt;5 Ironbound (GBR), 9-3-5-4, 21 puntos&lt;br /&gt;6 Aqua (GBR), 7-8-10-2, 27 puntos&lt;br /&gt;7 Katusha (RUS), 8-11-2-8, 29 puntos&lt;br /&gt;8 Ceeref (SLO), 6-10-8-5, 29 puntos&lt;br /&gt;9 AEZ (AUT), 5-7-9-13+1, 35 puntos&lt;br /&gt;10 Nika (RUS), 10-6-13-6, 35 puntos&lt;br /&gt;11 Synergy (RUS), 12-9-6-9, 36 puntos&lt;br /&gt;12 Aleph (FRA), 14-4-12-11, 41 puntos&lt;br /&gt;13 MAG Racing (POL), 11-14-15-10, 50 puntos&lt;br /&gt;14 RUS7 (RUS), 13-13-11-14, 51 puntos&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-3913969734781585062?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/3913969734781585062'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/3913969734781585062'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/rc44-en-lanzarote-artemis-toma-la-punta.html' title='RC44 en Lanzarote, Artemis toma la punta'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fE-VSAX-pCw/Tsa0q0_W5RI/AAAAAAAApqI/Dh-eT1cukV4/s72-c/RC44WCHnm_111118nm_1086.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-8457430393332560951</id><published>2011-11-18T09:44:00.002-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-18T09:56:02.580-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ACWS'/><title type='text'>ACWS San Diego, ya están los cuatro semifinalistas</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AKm7tbB9NOQ/TsZVzj-KTuI/AAAAAAAApp8/BUFbprGeyFU/s1600/_3XO1344.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AKm7tbB9NOQ/TsZVzj-KTuI/AAAAAAAApp8/BUFbprGeyFU/s400/_3XO1344.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676318724664741602" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Fuente info AC34&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;EL ARTEMIS RACING LE PONE FRENO A UN IMPARABLE ALEPH&lt;br /&gt;PUBLICADO EL 18 NOVIEMBRE 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El Artemis Racing ha avanzado hasta las Semifinales del AC World Series Match Racing Championship en San Diego al ganar a un Aleph que ha sido sin duda el protagonista del día.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El último encuentro de la jornada ha estado cargado de emoción pese al poco viento, ya que hasta la llegada no ha estado claro quién iba a ganar. Al final, el equipo sueco de Terry Hutchinson es el que se ha ganado el puesto a las Semifinales de mañana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hasta que no se ha terminado, no hemos dado nada por sentado,” dijo Terry Hutchinson, el patrón del barco sueco aliviado tras el encuentro. “Ha sido un juego de dados… hemos tenido que luchar duro. Ha sido un homenaje al equipo el hecho de que hayamos podido ganar.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hemos hecho un buen trabajo en las dos salidas, hemos liderado por bastante, pero eso no ha contado para nada,” comento el táctico Iain Percy, hablando sobre las condiciones. “No siempre te toca una buena mano de cartas.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El día amaneció con una densa niebla en todo San Diego, pero a media mañana salió el sol, lo que permitió un viento de 7-10 nudos (12-18 km/h). Sin embargo, a primera hora de la tarde, la niebla se impuso de nuevo, bajando la temperatura y manteniendo el viento ligero e inestable en la bahía.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El patrón del Aleph Pierre Pennec lideró a su equipo a la batalla en cinco ocasiones (aunque sólo contaron cuatro), escalando posiciones por toda la flota desde lo más bajo de la clasificación (fueron penúltimos en la tabla de ayer). Tras despachar al China Team, al Team Korea y al ORACLE Racing Coutts, al Aleph se le acabó la racha contra Terry Hutchinson y su Artemis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El resultado final ha sido muy duro para el Aleph, que vio cómo el primer encuentro contra el Artemis era anulado justo cuando Pennec y su tripulación se había recuperado de una penalización y se había puesto en cabeza. Un problema técnico hizo que los límites en el campo de regatas desaparecieran, afectando al encuentro en el agua y dejando al Comité de Regatas sin otra alternativa que la de anular la prueba.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En el segundo intento, Hutchinson y su tripulación hicieron de nuevo que el Aleph incurriera en una penalización, por lo que ganaron una ventaja importante desde el principio, pero que tuvieron que luchar muy duro para mantener durante todo el recorrido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El viento había bajado considerablemente con cambios constantes en la dirección (roladas), lo que hizo que el liderato del Artemis estuviera constantemente en peligro. De hecho, en la última ceñida (navegando hacia la dirección del viento), el Aleph se puso en cabeza en uno de los cruces, pero Hutchinson mantuvo la calma y protegió su lado favorable para cruzar la línea de llegada en primera posición por un estrecho margen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Íbamos líderes en el primer encuentro antes de que lo anularan,” dijo un exhausto Pennec tras completar su maratón de duelos. “En la segunda salida hemos incurrido en una penalización, pero lo hicimos bien con las roladas, para igualarnos en la última boya, así que ha sido un buen día para nosotros. Tenía muchas ganas de derrotar al Artemis, pero es normal, son un equipo fuerte, más altos en la tabla.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al perder el encuentro inaugural frente al Aleph, el China Team termina en la novena posición. Los equipos que han sido eliminados hoy, el Green Comm Racing, el Team Korea, el ORACLE Racing Coutts y el Aleph, navegarán el sábado para jugarse los puestos octavo al quinto. El viernes, las cuatro Semifinales se disputarán al mejor de tres encuentros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Resultados – San Diego Match Racing Championship – Encuentros clasificatorios&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q1.

The French duo set a new monohull record for the race course from Le Havre - Puerto Limon. They improve the previous 2009 record by one hour and seven minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two men hugged each other, Dick is now a three times winner of this race and twice winner of the double handed Barcelona World Race round the world.  He is unbeaten in IMOCA Open 60 double handed races. Local Caribbean bands greeted the winners of the 2011 edition in the very early hours of the morning.&lt;br /&gt;Their elapsed time is 54s 15d 18h 15mm. Their average speed course on the theoretical course of 4730 miles is 12.51 knots. They have traveled 5167 miles on the water at an average speed of 13.66 knots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The race of Virbac-Paprec 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jean Pierre Dick has always formed winning IMOCA Open 60 partnerships.&lt;br /&gt;It is the third victory in the Transat Jacques Vabre for Jean Pierre Dick. He won at his first attempt with Nicolas Abiven in 2003, again in 2005 with Loïc Peyron, the partner with whom he then went on to win this year’s Barcelona World Race, double handed around the world. Dick also won the Barcelona World Race in 2007-8 with Irish co-skipper Damian Foxall.&lt;br /&gt;Jérémie Beyou wins his first major IMOCA Open 60 race, racing for the first time in an offshore race partnership with Dick after victory in this summer’s solo Solitaire du Figaro in the Figaro class.&lt;br /&gt;Jean-Pierre Dick remains unbeaten in the IMOCA Class in the double-handed discipline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Eleven days by the north face&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact Virbac-Paprec 3 lead out of the bay of Le Havre, passing the General Metzinger buoy, but the win of Virbac-Paprec 3 has its foundations on two major strategic decisions. On the morning of Sunday November 6th, after Wednesday’s start, while passing the longitude of the Azores and setting up for the third big system since the start, the majority of the IMOCA Open 60 fleet hold south to escape the worst of the bad weather. Virbac Paprec 3 stay on the north routing with Hugo Boss and with Bureau Vallée and Gamesa. By the next day, November 7th on the 1100hrs positions report Virbac-Paprec 3 are in the lead again and are never passed. Ten different IMOCA Open 60’d lead the race at different stages, Safran, Groupe Bel, Cheminées Poujoulat, Bureau Vallée, Hugo Boss, Macif, Banqe Populaire and PRB.&lt;br /&gt;The second gain is two days later when the main groupe again stay south to seek the trade winds and end up struggling for breeze, and the three in the north always profit. On November 11th their margin to Macif in third is 305 miles. So their northern route was the hardest, but the most effective, experiencing the strongest winds and biggest seas. They broke nothing major and paced themselves perfectly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-4479634321438910223?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/4479634321438910223'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/4479634321438910223'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/tjv-triunfo-de-virbac-paprec-3.html' title='TJV, triunfo de Virbac-Paprec 3'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pDpQaJ31ywY/TsZSW8TtvTI/AAAAAAAAppw/FAb-broLO68/s72-c/111118tjv_1251.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-291820741169111617</id><published>2011-11-17T21:15:00.004-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-18T09:36:46.433-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><title type='text'>Mundial de J-24 día 3.

El Guerrero, el barco peruano timoneado por Luis Olcese, se mantuvo al frente durante todo el recorrido, pero en la última pierna fue superado por el Luca Vive, con Alejo Rigoni como timonel, que logró cruzar primero la línea de llegada y ganar su segunda regata del campeonato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En la sexta regata el viento fue en aumento hasta llegar a los 18 nudos. Fue ganada por Timothy Healy, que también sumó su segundo primer puesto en este campeonato, afirmando su liderazgo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sigue el trabajo para el Jurado Internacional. Hoy se presentaron 10 protestas, sumando un total de 41 protestas durante el campeonato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Después de las regatas comenzó el Tercer Tiempo para que los competidores puedan relajarse y tomar unas cervezas.

Columbus was voyaging in the New World. But this discipline of double handed racing is not a new world for Dick, far from it. The Brittany based skipper originally from Nice should complement his record as the most successful double handed IMOCA skipper, twice winner of the double handed Barcelona World Race and now likely to be three times winner of this Transat Jacques Vabre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said this afternoon that they would still be sticking to first principles, marking Hugo Boss by keeping between the British boat and the finish line. Given that both skipper, Dick and Alex Thomson, admitted to being equally confused by the predictions made by the weather models as to how the tropical low pressure system developing over Puerto Limon, prudence and concentration are key.&lt;br /&gt;For his part Hugo Boss’ Alex Thomson sounded drained today and admitted that he and his Spanish co-skipper Guillermo Altadill were just keen to be finished, that they want the race over.&lt;br /&gt;“ It is very hot on board and to be honest we are just looking forwards to finishing. We would be happier with first of course, but I think it is too little, too late now. We are both pretty tired now, we have really not been getting much sleep on board and really lack of sleep takes its toll. Now we are looking to get finished and get some rest. The European model shows the winds crapping out to virtually nothing, and it taking us two more days to finish, or the GFS model says a day, so hopefully the GFS is right.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In third Banque Populaire were less than 100 miles behind Hugo Boss, Armel Le Cléac'h once more setting up to prey according to his nickname, ‘The Jackal’, if indeed the breeze were to disappear and any opportunity to steal second were to arise. But with 263 miles left to sail on the afternoon 1600hrs UTC ranking, Hugo Boss was making a steady 12 knots and still matching their pursuers. Armel Le Cléac'h and Christopher Pratt had a lead of 24 miles over their siste-ship Macif.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dominique Wavre, skipper of Mirabaud recounted another encounter with a coastguard. On the Barcelona World Race Mirabaud was boarded by officials off the coast of Morocco and had their food bags opened. This time, off the coast of the Dominican Republic they were quizzed but left on their way after an hour.&lt;br /&gt;“ We get the impression we are cursed by all the coastguards in the world. Yesterday we were sailing 30 miles off the coast of the Dominican Republic and we saw a coastguard boat get closer, then making signs to us to stop. They spoke to us by VHF and interrogated us. We told them that to try and come alongside with our carbon fibre hull could end up very badly. We called to the race director Jean Maurel, and to the MRCC. By the time it was all sorted more than an hour had passed, and they told us we were good go.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quotes :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jean Pierre Dick, skipper Virbac Paprec 3:&lt;br /&gt;“In theory, on paper it should be OK, we have the lead. But we have to just get finished and not end up in a no-wind area where anything could happen. And the best way to stay in control in light winds is to cover, to man mark your rival. The wind so far is strong enough, but is does change a lot in direction, depending on whether we are under a cloud or not. The wind speed we can see roughly what to expect, but not the wind direction. And the weather models don’t agree. We have a difference of 30 degrees in wind direction depending on the model. It is no easy to understand which might be right. We have damaged the starboard bubble (the coachroof dome) so it is big more airy than the other, it is better to be protected. During the day it is really hot and we cant open the sail locker hatch to get some air because of the spray, so it is a bit airless, it can feel like hell. We are expecting to arrive tomorrow night, probably around 0600hrs UTC Friday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dominique Wavre, skipper Mirabaud:&lt;br /&gt;We get the impression we are cursed by all the coastguards in the world.

By the time it was all sorted more than an hour had passed, and they told us we were good go. It even happened before off La Rochelle, our home base, when we were training where it was OK, but if you remember also in the Barcelona World Race when they were more aggressive.&lt;br /&gt;Our rudder problem is obvious at high speeds, more than 15kts, the pilot copes and all is really OK. There is nothing major when you look at the rudder. I can’t make an ETA at the moment, the last 50 miles look so difficult, there will be no holding back. We are racers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alex Thomson, (GBR) skipper Hugo Boss (GBR):&lt;br /&gt;“It is very hot on board and to be honest we are just looking forwards to finishing.

The European model shows the winds crapping out to virtually nothing, and it taking us two more days to finish, or the GFS model says a day, so hopefully the GFS is right.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Standings at 1700hrs CET on Wednesday, november 17th, 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IMOCA&lt;br /&gt;1 - Virbac-Paprec 3 (Jean-Pierre Dick - Jérémie Beyou) : 135 milles to finish&lt;br /&gt;2 - Hugo Boss (Alex Thomson - Guillermo Altadill) : 128 milles to leader&lt;br /&gt;3 - Banque Populaire (Armel Le Cléac'h - Christopher Pratt): 219,5 milles to leader&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Multi50&lt;br /&gt;1 - Actual (Yves Le Blevec - Samuel Manuard) : 646 milles to finish&lt;br /&gt;2 - Maître Jacques (Loïc Fequet - Loïc Escoffier) : 361,3 milles to leader&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Class40&lt;br /&gt;1 - Aquarelle.com (Yannick Bestaven - Eric Drouglazet) : 1631,3 milles to finish&lt;br /&gt;2 - ERDF Des Pieds et des Mains (Damien Seguin - Yoann Richomme) : 143,1 milles to leader&lt;br /&gt;3 - 40 Degrees (Hannah Jenner - Jesse Naiwark) : 251,6 milles to leader&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.transat-jacques-vabre.com/classement-general"&gt;For more rankings, click-here&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-844868199600175863?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/844868199600175863'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/844868199600175863'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/tjv-virbac-paprec-3-poco-de-llegar.html' title='TJV, Virbac Paprec 3 a poco de llegar'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-7267010223086935011</id><published>2011-11-17T17:41:00.003-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-17T17:44:00.815-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Clases internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><title type='text'>RC44 en Lanzarote, Península Petroleum primer lider del mundial</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jgSHgtCoRw8/TsVx4W_C7kI/AAAAAAAApo4/ztCgWmCCJsQ/s1600/RC44WCHnm_111117nm_0438.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 289px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jgSHgtCoRw8/TsVx4W_C7kI/AAAAAAAApo4/ztCgWmCCJsQ/s400/RC44WCHnm_111117nm_0438.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676068118427004482" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YDbnUVT0RIs/TsVx4DsLP1I/AAAAAAAApoo/cOHefLjsgXo/s1600/RC44WCHnm_111117nm_1632.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 287px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YDbnUVT0RIs/TsVx4DsLP1I/AAAAAAAApoo/cOHefLjsgXo/s400/RC44WCHnm_111117nm_1632.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676068113247584082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;Fuente info Harbour Communication&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;EL PENÍNSULA PETROLEUM ES EL PRIMER LÍDER DEL MUNDIAL DE RC44’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- El barco de John Bassadone fue el más regular en el estreno en aguas lanzaroteñas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- El Islas Canarias Puerto Calero ocupa la tercera posición a tres puntos del líder&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- La jornada estuvo llena de alternativas debido a los numerosos roles&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puerto Calero (Lanzarote).- El Peninsula Petroleum de John Bassadone es el primer líder del Campeonato del Mundo de la clase RC44’ en aguas de Puerto Calero. El barco gibraltareño sorprendió a toda la flota y se colocó en cabeza después ser el más regular de la jornada, con dos segundos y un cuarto, después de realizar grandes remontadas. El Islas Canarias Puerto Calero de Daniel Calero ocupa la tercera plaza tras realizar un tercero, un primero y un séptimo. La segunda plaza la ocupa el Artemis del sueco Torbjorn Torqvist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El viento acompañó desde el principio de la jornada soplando entre los 10 y 12 nudos de intensidad, lo que hizo que pudieran iniciar puntualmente las pruebas. En la primera hubo un protagonista desde la misma salida, el No Way Back holandés de Pieter Heerema, que dominó desde el primer minuto y montó primero en todos los pasos por baliza. El Islas Canarias Puerto Calero, con Daniel Calero a la rueda, fue el primero en seguirle la estela y montaría segundo en los dos siguientes tramos, pero en la última popa el Peninsula Petroleum, que llegaba de remontar a toda la flota, conseguía superarle en los últimos metros y cruzar la línea de meta en segunda posición, por tercera el barco lanzaroteño. La llegada del pelotón fue apretada y así, el gran favorito y ganador del circuito, el británico Team Aqua de Chris Bake, perdería hasta tres puestos en la entrada viéndose superado por el sueco Artemis de Torbjorn Tornqvist, el austríaco AEZ de Christian Binder y el Ceeref del esloveno Igor Lah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En la segunda prueba del día hubo una llamada general al encontrarse buena parte de la flota fuera de línea en el momento de la salida, con lo que tuvo que repetirse y además la segunda salida ya fue con bandera negra, con lo que el barco que saliera antes de tiempo quedaría descalificado para la prueba. El Islas Canarias Puerto Calero fue valiente en esta segunda salida y salió por el pin encabezando la flota, un sorprendente AEZ le seguía y llegaron al primer paso por barlo en primera y segunda posición respectivamente. El Ironbound del estadounidense David Murphy –que no pudo competir en la primera jornada- volvía fuerte y llegaba en tercera posición. El Islas Canarias Puerto Calero, emuló al No Way Back de la primera manga, y montaría primero hasta la llegada, ganando la prueba y colocándose provisionalmente líder de la general. El Peninsula Petroleum volvía a estar espléndido y cruzaba la meta nuevamente en segunda posición y el Ironbound cruza la meta tercero. Sorprendentemente el No Way Back que había ganado la primera manga, en la segunda entró el décimo cuarto cerrando la flota.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La tercera y última prueba del día también se inició con bandera negra y el Mag Racing salió prematuramente, con lo que acabaría siendo descalificado. El Artemis fue el primero en salir y dominar la manga, le seguían Ironbound y Katusha, el Islas Canarias Puerto Calero saldría también en el grupo delantero en cuarta posición, pero en barlovento era el Artemis el que montaba por delante y el barco de Calero lo hacía en novena posición. En los siguientes dos tramos el barco español mejoró y se colocó en sexta posición, mientras que el Peninsula Petroleum seguía en su gran línea y montaba cuarto el último paso por barlovento por detrás de Artemis, Katusha y No Way Back, al final este sería el orden de entrada de la tercera manga, seguido del Peninsula Petroleum y el Islas Canarias Puerto Calero finalmente cruzaba la línea en séptima posición, cediendo el liderato al barco gibraltareño.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Bassadone estaba muy contento tras esta primera jornada en la que el Peninsula Petroleum se acostará líder: “la verdad que nos ha salido todo muy bien, el barco ha navegado muy rápido y tácticamente y en cuanto a maniobras el equipo ha estado perfecto. Más no se puede pedir”, el armador gibraltareño pero es consciente que “esto no ha hecho más que empezar, mañana saldremos como si fuera el primer día de regatas”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Calero también se mostraba muy satisfecho de este estreno de Mundial para el Islas Canarias Puerto Calero: “hemos conseguido muy buenos resultados, el trabajo de todo el equipo se ha visto reflejado en este buen puesto en la general y además habiendo ganado una manga con todo el nivel que hay en esta flota”, el patrón lanzaroteño también avisaba que “el campeonato es muy largo y el objetivo para estar arriba es terminar todas las mangas entre los cinco primeros”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CLASIFICACIÓN (Tras tres mangas)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Peninsula Petroleum (GBR), 2-2-4, 8 puntos&lt;br /&gt;2 Artemis (SWE), 4-5-1, 10 puntos&lt;br /&gt;3 Islas Canarias Puerto Calero (ESP), 3-1-7, 11 puntos&lt;br /&gt;4 No Way Back (NED), 1-12-3, 16 puntos&lt;br /&gt;5 Ironbound (GBR), 9-3-5, 17 puntos&lt;br /&gt;6 AEZ (AUT), 5-7-9, 21 puntos&lt;br /&gt;7 Katusha (RUS), 8-11-2, 21 puntos&lt;br /&gt;8 Ceeref (SLO), 6-10-8, 24 puntos&lt;br /&gt;9 Aqua (GBR), 7-8-10, 25 puntos&lt;br /&gt;10 Synergy (RUS), 12-9-6, 27 puntos&lt;br /&gt;11 Nika (RUS), 10-6-13, 29 puntos&lt;br /&gt;12 Aleph (FRA), 14-4-12, 30 puntos&lt;br /&gt;13 RUS7 (RUS), 13-13-11, 37 puntos&lt;br /&gt;14 Mag Racing (POL), 11-14-15, 40 puntos&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-7267010223086935011?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/7267010223086935011'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/7267010223086935011'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/rc44-en-lanzarote-peninsula-petroleum.html' title='RC44 en Lanzarote, Península Petroleum primer lider del mundial'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jgSHgtCoRw8/TsVx4W_C7kI/AAAAAAAApo4/ztCgWmCCJsQ/s72-c/RC44WCHnm_111117nm_0438.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-7435423619626751160</id><published>2011-11-17T14:02:00.004-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-17T14:06:50.700-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Volvo Ocean Race'/><title type='text'>VOR, Puma lidera a la flota, Telefónica en los escapes</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R7wkFTTd_d4/TsU-uYdutwI/AAAAAAAApoc/fcBHnOdnURM/s1600/blankimg4.php.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R7wkFTTd_d4/TsU-uYdutwI/AAAAAAAApoc/fcBHnOdnURM/s400/blankimg4.php.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676011871932430082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;Fuente info VOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A MITAD DE CAMINO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La flota de la Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12 negocia el ecuador de la Etapa 1. PUMA y el Telefónica se encuentran a poco más de 3.250 millas de la meta, tras superar anoche el punto de paso obligatorio de Fernando de Noronha. El rey Neptuno ha visitado a tres tripulaciones y hoy subirá a bordo del Groupama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los cuatro barcos han cumplido 12 jornadas recortando distancia a la Etapa 1 de la Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12. Desde las 14:00h de ayer, el líder ha avanzado 301 millas, el Telefónica le ha recortado 3,8 y el CAMPER 34 millas, una buena progresión que le coloca a 123 del PUMA. El peor parado ha sido una vez más el Groupama, que sigue perdiendo terreno y se encuentra hoy a nada menos que 422,8 millas del primero, 67 millas más lejos que ayer a la misma hora.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo más destacado de la jornada ha sido el paso de PUMA y Telefónica por Fernando de Noronha, la última referencia física del recorrido de la Etapa 1 antes de la línea de meta en Ciudad del Cabo. El barco de Ken Read superaba el archipiélago brasileño alrededor de las cinco de la madrugada, seguido casi una hora más tarde por el de Iker Martínez.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A la hora de redactar esta información, al CAMPER le faltan apenas 25 millas para llegar a Noronha, por lo que en el siguiente porte de posiciones ya lo habrá superado. Al Groupama le restan todavía alrededor de 325. El barco de Franck Cammas es el único que todavía navega en el hemisferio norte; le faltan alrededor de 70 millas para cruzar el ecuador geográfico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Con la mirada puesta en el anticiclón de Santa Helena&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La próxima referencia para la cabeza del pelotón es el anticiclón de Santa Helena, auténtico termómetro para negociar el tramo final hacia Ciudad del Cabo. Las previsiones a día de hoy indican que los barcos en cabeza afrontan dos jornadas claves a nivel táctico, y de las decisiones que tomen dependerá en buena medida el resto de etapa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los líderes han necesitado 12 días exactos para completar la primera mitad del recorrido. Tradicionalmente, el tramo final suele ser considerablemente más rápido, y en él es donde se suelen romper los récord de distancia cubierta en 24 horas. El actual para un monocasco lo estableció el Ericsson 4 en la Etapa 1 de la anterior Volvo Ocean Race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por primera vez en varios días, el reporte de las 14:00h otorga velocidades casi idénticas a los cuatro barcos, con 14,9 nudos para PUMA, 15,2 para Telefónica y 15,6 para CAMPER y Groupama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Casi todos conocen ya al rey Neptuno&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De los 66 tripulantes que compiten en esta primera etapa, 64 ya conocen al rey Neptuno. En las últimas 24 horas, cinco de ellos han sido presentados oficialmente a través de la ceremonia tradicional que sufren los novatos en su primer cruce del ecuador. Sólo faltan dos “vírgenes” a bordo del Groupama, Brad Marsh y Erwan Israel. Su barco cambiará al hemisferio sur en las próximas horas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los ajusticiados entre ayer y hoy han sido Diego Fructuoso en el Telefónica, Adam Minoprio y Hamish Hooper en el CAMPER, y Amory Ross y Rome Kirby en el PUMA. Entre los informes que nos envían sobre la ceremonia hay crueles cortes de pelo, restos de comida y peces voladores podridos extendidos por el cuerpo, ligeros ataques a la dignidad e ingestión de bebidas “poco agradables”. En palabras de Diego Fructuoso, la única víctima a bordo de Team Telefónica: “En general, fue divertido”. No ha habido heridos…&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Parte de posiciones – Día 14 (17 de noviembre, 14:00h) :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.

Todavía falta media etapa, así que aún pueden ocurrir muchas cosas”.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Amory Ross, tripulante de comunicación de PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG:&lt;br /&gt;“Estamos contentos por haber dejado atrás el ecuador y Fernando de Noronha. Pero nuestro verdadero objetivo es Ciudad del Cabo, que todavía está a 2.500 millas a nuestro sureste. Eso es un montón de distancia y de tiempo para seguir defendiéndonos del ataque de Telefónica. Nada se interpone entre nuestro barco y Ciudad del Cabo salvo el océano”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jean-Luc Nélias, navegante de Groupama sailing team:&lt;br /&gt;“Acabamos de completar nuestro paso por los Doldrums. De acuerdo con los más experimentados a bordo, ha sido uno de los más duros que han experimentado. Lo alcanzamos en el 7º norte y nos liberó en el 2 norte, unas 300 millas.

The crew, led by skipper Ken Read, rounded the small archipelago of islands off the coast of Brazil at 0400 UTC around an hour ahead of their closest rivals Team Telefónica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read and his team were also the first of the four crews racing in the 39,000 nautical mile ocean race to pass into the Southern Hemisphere, crossing the Equator at 1055 UTC on Wednesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After 12 days and almost 4,000 nautical miles of close-quarters racing, PUMA and Telefónica were separated by just 14 nautical miles at 1000 UTC today as they dived into the South Atlantic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third placed CAMPER with Emirates Team New Zealand trailed the frontrunners by 147 nm at the latest position update, paying the price for a moment of indecision early on in the 6,500 nautical mile leg. They crossed the Equator at 2255 UTC on Wednesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;French team Groupama slipped to 434 nm behind the leaders after they were snared by the Doldrums, an area of weather north of the Equator characterised by fickle winds and unpredictable storms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: after a technical glitch with data from CAMPER and Groupama this morning all numbers are now correct.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-1185185420283134685?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/1185185420283134685'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/1185185420283134685'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/vor-puma-primero-en-pasar-fernando-de.html' title='VOR, Puma primero en pasar Fernando de Noronha'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-700684523022012718</id><published>2011-11-16T23:06:00.002-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-16T23:11:24.832-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ACWS'/><title type='text'>ACWS San Diego, el día fue para Energy Team</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NPl2NMFHbrc/TsRtJJ3OkhI/AAAAAAAApn8/vhBFZdvhfCc/s1600/GMR_SDWSD16_2037.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NPl2NMFHbrc/TsRtJJ3OkhI/AAAAAAAApn8/vhBFZdvhfCc/s400/GMR_SDWSD16_2037.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675781434427478546" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:78%;"&gt;© Gilles Martin Raget/AC34&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s8O8BBvha_E/TsRtIv-4idI/AAAAAAAApns/fOqc7a4D7y8/s1600/GMR_SDWSD16_2018.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s8O8BBvha_E/TsRtIv-4idI/AAAAAAAApns/fOqc7a4D7y8/s400/GMR_SDWSD16_2018.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675781427480267218" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:78%;"&gt;© Gilles Martin Raget/AC34&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ffWc7lgLYxE/TsRtIC6qyGI/AAAAAAAApng/xysgQg7L0qg/s1600/GMR_SDWSD16_1958.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ffWc7lgLYxE/TsRtIC6qyGI/AAAAAAAApng/xysgQg7L0qg/s400/GMR_SDWSD16_1958.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675781415382992994" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:78%;"&gt;© Gilles Martin Raget/AC34&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Fuente info AC34&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;EL ENERGY TEAM MEJOR EQUIPO DEL DÍA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PUBLICADO EL 17 NOVIEMBRE 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La consistencia ha sido la clave para el equipo francés Energy Team que ganó la tercera y última prueba de las disputadas el miércoles por la tarde. Los franceses encabezan la tabla de las clasificatorias para el San Diego Match Racing Championship en la America´s Cup World Series en San Diego.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El nuevo patrón del equipo, Yann Guichard, quedó entre los cinco primeros en las tres pruebas, por lo que terminaron la jornada un punto por delante del Emirates Team New Zealand, que fue segundo. El ORACLE Racing Spithill, que incurrió en numerosas penalizaciones a lo largo del día, se recuperó bien en cada una de las pruebas para terminar en tercera posición.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estos tres equipos en lo alto de la tabla pasan directamente a las semifinales del Match Racing Championship. Los seis equipos que quedan se enfrentarán en los encuentros eliminatorios del jueves para ganar el puesto vacante en las semifinales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Ha sido un día perfecto para nosotros,” dijo Guichard muy contento al finalizar la jornada. “Estoy feliz de verdad. El equipo ha hecho un trabajo fantástico y yo me siento más cómodo cada día, puedo sentir de verdad el barco. Hemos salido muy bien y hemos ido muy rápido hoy. Los equipos pequeños como nosotros estamos mejorando cada día.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las condiciones fueron perfectas para las regatas. El viento se mantuvo entre los 9 y los 13 nudos con mar plana en San Diego, lo que llevó a los barcos a velocidades cercanas a los 20 nudos. La brisa térmica entró temprano y se mantuvo durante toda la tarde gracias al sol y a la agradable temperatura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El español Green Comm Racing ha obtenido el mejor resultado desde que comenzaron las America´s Cup World Series, con un tercer puesto en la última prueba. Los de Vasilij Zbogar salieron primeros y en primer tramo el Energy Team les arrebató el liderato. No fue sino hasta la última empopada cuando el ORACLE Racing Spithill se coló en la segunda posición, dejado a los españoles en tercera posición. Los españoles terminan la jornada en séptima posición, por lo que tendrán que enfrentarse al sexto clasificado, el ORACLE Racing Coutts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Javier de la Plaza, trimmer de mayor del equipo, explica los cambios que han hecho para mejorar el rendimiento: “Hemos cambiado un poco el ala [vela rígida] la hemos puesto un poco mejor de lo que estaba y claro, cuando sales primero, todo es más fácil. Hemos tenido un problema en la driza del spi que nos ha frenado un poco en las popas, pero en las ceñidas íbamos muy bien. Pero en general estamos muy contentos, estamos trabajando muy duro y al final a ver si obtenemos mejores resultados.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tras las pruebas de flota, los equipos llevaron el espectáculo al numeroso público que se reunió en el muelle de Broadway para los AC 500 Speed Trials, o pruebas de velocidad sobre 500 metros, que tuvieron lugar a pocos metros de tierra. El Emirates Team New Zealand, en el primer intento, logró el mejor tiempo, con 45,78 segundos en 500 metros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los dos barcos de ORACLE, Spithill y Coutts fueron segundo y tercero respectivamente. El Artemis Racing fue cuarto tanto en la clasificación de la jornada como en la prueba de velocidad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Ha sido un día muy duro, pero ha estado bien que hemos luchado por subir puestos cuando hubiera sido más fácil ir para atrás,” dijo el patrón del Artemis Racing, Terry Hutchinson, tras un día desigual en el que una victoria en la segunda prueba le ha ayudado en la clasificación. “Se trata de ser consistente y trabajar el proceso.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.americascup.com/en/Results/"&gt;Resultados  – San Diego Match Racing Championship (pruebas clasificatorias)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Resultados – AC 500 Speed Trials&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emirates Team New Zealand - 21.22 knots&lt;br /&gt;ORACLE Racing Spithill - 21.10 knots&lt;br /&gt;ORACLE Racing Coutts - 19.86 knots&lt;br /&gt;Artemis Racing - 19.65 knots&lt;br /&gt;Energy Team - 19.36 knots&lt;br /&gt;Team Korea - 19.18 knots&lt;br /&gt;China Team - 18.54 knots&lt;br /&gt;ALEPH - 18.33 knots&lt;br /&gt;Green Comm Racing - 17.91 knots&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-700684523022012718?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/700684523022012718'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/700684523022012718'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/acws-san-diego-el-dia-fue-para-energy.html' title='ACWS San Diego, el día fue para Energy Team'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NPl2NMFHbrc/TsRtJJ3OkhI/AAAAAAAApn8/vhBFZdvhfCc/s72-c/GMR_SDWSD16_2037.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-34239782535979679</id><published>2011-11-16T23:03:00.003-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-16T23:05:48.348-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='equipos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ACWS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fotografos'/><title type='text'>Sander van der Borch y Artemis en San Diego</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-COjTsEJTgiI/TsRrut_zQPI/AAAAAAAApnU/s4UUOBkBi0Q/s1600/11_073731_AC45SanDiego.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;

La regata comenzó a horario, con viento del sector Este de 8 nudos, que luego aumentó y se movió hacia la derecha, razón por la cual se realizó un cambio de recorrido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La cuarta regata fue ganada por el barco timoneado por Timothy Healy, que hizo honor del título obtenido el año pasado como campeón mundial de J24. Durante la regata, el 11th Hour Racing viró primero en todas las marcas, seguido de cerca por el Reloaded y el A prueba de balas. Timothy también está liderando la clasificación general, por lo que será un desafío para los demás competidores arrebatarle el título.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hasta el momento el Jurado Internacional ha tenido bastante trabajo: ayer se presentaron 21 protestas y hoy otras 10. Todas ellas se trataron entre ayer a la noche y hoy (temprano a la mañana y después de las regatas).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A las ocho y media comenzó una recepción en la carpa, con paella y helado para todos los competidores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mañana las regatas también comenzarán a las 14 horas. ¡Suerte para todos los regatistas! &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.j24worlds2011.org.ar/Section.aspx?id=1373"&gt;Resultados parciales click acá&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-414456206049475191?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/414456206049475191'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/414456206049475191'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/mundial-de-j-24-dia-2-tim-healy-comodo.html' title='Mundial de J-24 día 2.

Such is the intensity of their duel it should insulate them from any prospects of a catch up from behind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Redemption Song?&lt;br /&gt;For sure there is the potential for this race to be a redemption of sorts for a number of skippers and co-skippers.&lt;br /&gt;Jérémie Beyou had a good IMOCA programme of his own which, for different reasons, could not or did not deliver results, retiring from the 2008-9 Vendée Globe into Brazil.&lt;br /&gt;In the last edition of the Transat Jacques Vabre he raced with Michel Desjoyeaux on Foncia to a disappointing fourth, having been tipped to win.&lt;br /&gt;Alex Thomson has suffered a string of well profiled retirements, not least in the last edition of this race and the last Vendée Globe.&lt;br /&gt;Altadill has yet to podium on a major short-handed IMOCA ocean race, retiring from the 2007-8 Barcelona World Race where he carried the home city’s hopes.&lt;br /&gt;And Yves Le Blevec, who leads the Multi 50 race on Actual, capsized on the first night of the last Transat Jacques Vabre and ended up with his arm in a plaster cast but sportingly still flew out to Costa Rica nonetheless to support the arrivals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Class 40 there was time today for Eric Drouglazet to raise a glass with his skipper Yannick Bestaven to celebrate Eric’s 44th birthday with a lead restored to 146 miles over ERDF des Pieds et des Mains. Hannah Jenner and Jesse Naimark-Rowse still hold third place with a steady 29 miles over the Norwegians on Solo. Rune Aasberg and Simen Lovgren showed no loss of speed this morning for having completed a live broadcast with Norwegian TV’ Breakfast show, linking up live with their respective wives and also raising a glass of champagne for passing the midpoint in the race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quotes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yves Le Blevec, skipper Actual:&lt;br /&gt;“We look at where our rival is in the race, but mostly we just look at our strategy to get to Puerto Limon, to get there fast. In essence it is the same tempo we have always set, the target is never to be compromised to hurt the boat.&lt;br /&gt;We have a Clement on board, a little drawing given to us by the kids from a school in Le Havre and we have sent pictures at each key stage.&lt;br /&gt;The conditions are quite complicated to Puerto Limon with NE’ly trade winds,quit strong but gets more complex. At the moment it is hard work, and very dark and cloudy at night, it is easy to get hit by some bad squalls and gusts. By day you manage, last night was not easy. The next two days don’t look to bad, the first half of what we have left, but the second half will be much more complicated."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Armel Le Cléac'h, skipper Banque Populaire:&lt;br /&gt;“We are having a duel under the sun and it is hot. As the sun came up we have had pretty sporty, fast conditions. Along Santo Domingo with fairly steady winds, the seas crossed, we were flying. We have seen Macif and they were one mile to leeward. It is certainly fun, great to have a battle between two identical boats, there will be a duel to the end here. But the end looks light and difficult.  We went close to the Dominican Republic to get the lift off the land. We won a couple of miles off Macif last night, it all counts.&lt;br /&gt;And for the last 36 hours we are right into Figaro mode, the gaps can be reduced sharply when it gets lighter and it will be a contest until the end."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mike Golding, skipper, Gamesa:&lt;br /&gt;“We are a little bit frustrated but it is a glorious day’s sailing off Santo Domingos, we are making good progress. It is indeed frustrating but we are paying the price for our earlier choices.&lt;br /&gt;We are into the Caribbean, enjoying the respite as it changes quite dramatically as we come in out of the Atlantic. We are in the lee of Santo Domingo, to the seas are quite flat, we have a good breeze and we are making good speeds along the coast.&lt;br /&gt;It is a bit of an oddity that people think of the Caribbean as champagne sailing, but in fact is quite a tough environment, the seas are very short and the trade winds quite strong and so consequently you get breaking seas and conditions can be very difficult.&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately for us most of the way to Costa Rica the wind is with us, and so we are going down these waves rather than up them!&lt;br /&gt;“Never say never as far as catching Mirabaud are concerned. Things have not worked in our favour really and so we are making the best of it, we are flat out and we will take advantage of whatever comes our way.”&lt;br /&gt;“In fact we have been up for a while, passing through the Mona Passage, and we saw the sun rise between the islands, we just did a big gybe in some rough seas because there are strong currents too, strong winds. Now we are in the flatter water, enjoying it, settling the boat down on to a west going heading.”&lt;br /&gt;“From my perspective in terms of the race back, it would be nice to have some redemption! So the prospect of racing back is the next opportunity.  This has been our worst result, but then again when you look at the quality of the fleet, and who is where, it is a pretty difficult fleet. The game has moved forwards. We are confident the boat is fast enough and we have the speed to compete. A combination of little things, little errors, breakages, some bad tactics and we are where we are. The reality is that we have achieved what we have achieved in terms of validating the boat, it is a shame we are not in a better place but the race is not over yet, so we are continuing to keep the pedal down and see if we can move ourselves up a few places.”&lt;br /&gt;“Everything is a bit easier now.  It was pretty hard to begin with, neither of us had done much training to begin with and we were finding it exhausting, but I took note this morning of how we did that manoeuvre and how we moved everything around, and it was altogether so much better. We have come on in leaps and bounds. It is very hard work though and the Atlantic has been pretty unrelenting, giving some hard conditions, lots of manoeuvres.

El patrón neozelandés reconoció que “el final ha sido muy duro porque Katusha y Ceeref han apretado mucho, pero por suerte pudimos aguantar y ganar el circuito”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El Katusha en esta ocasión no tuvo como patrón a Paul Cayard, y quien tomó los mandos del barco ruso fue el italiano Francesco Bruni, con el que acabarían ganado el evento de Puerto Calero tras ganar siete de los ocho matchs –el último con el Aleph no lo disputaron al tener un problema con el palo-, anteriormente habían ganado a Ceeref, No Way Back, Synergy, Peninsula Petroleum, AEZ, RUS7 e Ironbound. El Team Nika ruso fue otro de los destacados al ganar seis match, sólo les ganó el No Way Back y con cinco victorias finalizaron el Aleph francés y el Artemis sueco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Francesco Bruni estaba contento por la victoria “nuestro objetivo era acabar segundos en el circuito y lo hemos conseguido, además ganar el evento de Puerto Calero es muy importante para el equipo. Ahora tenemos que centrarnos en el Mundial que empieza mañana con las regatas de flota”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El Islas Canarias Puerto Calero, patroneado por José María Ponce, comenzó muy bien la jornada ganando los dos primeros flights a Aleph y Mag Racing, pero luego entró en una racha negativa perdiendo ante Artemis, Peninsula Petroleum, Aqua y Nika y ganando en el flight 8 al RUS7. José María Ponce comentaba que “comenzamos muy fuertes pero luego perdimos regatas que teníamos bastante controladas por poco con Aqua, Artemis y Nika. Salíamos con opciones de acabar en el podio del circuito ya al final hemos acabado séptimos”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A partir de mañana empieza la competición de flota donde se dirimirá el Campeonato del Mundo de la clase RC44’ y que finalizará el próximo domingo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CLASIFICACIÓN MATCH RACE - RC44’ ISLAS CANARIAS PUERTO CALERO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Katusha (RUS), 7 puntos&lt;br /&gt;2 Team Nika (RUS), 6 puntos&lt;br /&gt;3 Artemis (SWE), 5 puntos&lt;br /&gt;4 Aleph (FRA), 5 puntos&lt;br /&gt;5 Ceeref (SLO), 4 puntos&lt;br /&gt;6 Synergy (RUS), 4 puntos&lt;br /&gt;7 Team Aqua (GBR), 4 puntos&lt;br /&gt;8 No Way Back (NED), 4 puntos&lt;br /&gt;9 Peninsula Petroleum (GBR), 3 puntos&lt;br /&gt;10 Islas Canarias Puerto Calero (ESP), 3 puntos&lt;br /&gt;11 RUS7 (RUS), 2 puntos&lt;br /&gt;12 AEZ (AUT), 1 punto&lt;br /&gt;13 Mag Racing (POL), 1 punto&lt;br /&gt;14 Ironbound (USA), 0 puntos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RC44’ CHAMPIONSHIP TOUR MATCH RACE (FINAL)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Team Aqua (GBR), 23 puntos&lt;br /&gt;2 Katusha (RUS), 22 puntos&lt;br /&gt;3 Ceeref (SLO), 20 puntos&lt;br /&gt;4 Artemis (SWE), 19 puntos&lt;br /&gt;5 Oracle (USA), 16 puntos&lt;br /&gt;6 Team Nika (RUS), 15,5 puntos&lt;br /&gt;7 Islas Canarias Puerto Calero (ESP), 15 puntos&lt;br /&gt;8 No Way Back (NED), 15 puntos&lt;br /&gt;9 Synergy (RUS), 14 puntos&lt;br /&gt;10 Aleph (FRA), 13 puntos&lt;br /&gt;11 Peninsula Petroleum (GBR), 12 puntos&lt;br /&gt;12 AEZ (AUT), 7 puntos&lt;br /&gt;13 RUS7 (RUS), 5 puntos&lt;br /&gt;14 Mag Racing (POL), 4 puntos&lt;br /&gt;15 Ironbound (USA), 3 puntos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se puede seguir el Campeonato del Mundo de RC44’ a través de la web: http://www.rc44puertocalero.com y twitter @rc44ptocalero&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-6271982468869645035?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/6271982468869645035'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/6271982468869645035'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/rc44-en-lanzarote-match-race-para.html' title='RC44 en Lanzarote.

Lo hacían alrededor del mediodía, y con la mirada puesta en el archipiélago brasileño de Fernando de Noronha, punto de paso obligado en esta Etapa 1. CAMPER pasará el ecuador esta noche. Sanya y Azzam ya están de camino a Ciudad del Cabo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El barco de PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG era el primero en cruzar el ecuador, alrededor de las 11:55h de hoy y como líder de la Etapa 1 de la Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12. Menos de una hora después, a las 12:45h, le seguía el de Team Telefónica. Ambos navegan ya por aguas del hemisferio sur con la mirada puesta en el archipiélago brasileño de Fernando de Noronha, punto obligado de paso y que tendrán que dejar por babor. Lo harán en las próximas 24 horas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La clasificación de la etapa continúa invariable, aunque las diferencias entre barcos no han dejado de oscilar. Ayer, CAMPER y Groupama recortaban millas a un ritmo que alcanzó el entorno de las siete por hora. El barco de Chris Nicholson lograba situarse a menos de 100 millas del líder y a unas 85 del Telefónica en el reporte de las 23:00h. Pero la noche fue cruel con los cazadores, que esta mañana amanecían a la misma distancia de la cabeza de la flota que tenían el lunes por la tarde: 156 millas el CAMPER y 334 el Groupama. El acordeón había alcanzado su compresión máxima y comenzaba a estirarse de nuevo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En el parte de posiciones de las 14:00h, cumplidas 11 jornadas de competición, las velocidades vuelven a ser parejas: 13 nudos para el CAMPER, 12,6 para el Telefónica, 12,3 para el CAMPER y 11,9 para el Groupama. El barco de Cammas ha perdido 82 millas en las últimas 24 horas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A merced de Neptuno&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El cruce del ecuador supone para muchos tripulantes una muesca más en su currículum, pero para los que lo hacen por primera vez será una experiencia inolvidable. De ello se asegurarán sus compañeros, que los someterán al severo juicio del rey Neptuno, haciéndoles pasar toda suerte de novatadas. Pronto sabremos en qué han consistido, pero lo que sí conocemos ya es el nombre de los ajusticiados: Diego Fructuoso en el Telefónica, Amory Ross y Rome Kirby en el PUMA. En las próximas horas seguirán suertes similares Adam Minoprio y Hamish Hooper en el CAMPER, Brad Marsh y Erwan Israel en el Groupama.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sanya y Azzam, de camino &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El barco de Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing sale esta tarde en carguero desde Lisboa rumbo a Ciudad del Cabo. El de Team Sanya embarcaba la pasada madrugada en el puerto de Algeciras, y está ya de camino. Parte de su tripulación ha llegado a destino, como su patrón Mike Sanderson, que escribía esta mañana desde Ciudad del Cabo: “El barco llegará el 28 de noviembre, y para entonces ya tendremos montada la base del equipo y una carpa especial para acoger el barco, con la nueva pieza lista para ser colocada”.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Parte de posiciones - Día 12 (16 de noviembre, 14:00h):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1. PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG (Ken Read), a 3.556,7 Nm* de Ciudad del Cabo   &lt;br /&gt;2. Team Telefónica (Iker Martínez), +15,6&lt;br /&gt; 3. CAMPER con Emirates Team New Zealand (Chris Nicholson), +157,0&lt;br /&gt; 4. Groupama sailing team (Franck Cammas), +355,5&lt;br /&gt; 5.

Team Sanya (Mike Sanderson), retirado de la Etapa 1 &lt;br /&gt;(* 1Nm, milla náutica = 1,852 km) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Frases desde a bordo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iker Martínez, patrón de Team Telefónica:&lt;br /&gt;“Ahora empezamos a mirar hacia el sur. En 24 horas esperamos estar cerca de Fernando de Noronha. Puede ser que tengamos que hacer una ruta bastante larga para llegar a Sudáfrica, bajando muy al sur antes de poder empezar a rodear el anticiclón de Santa Helena y ganar este hacia Ciudad del Cabo. Tiene toda la pinta de que estaremos peleando con PUMA muy de cerca, ya que los barcos parecen tener velocidades muy parejas y ninguno afloja por ninguna razón”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roberto “Chuny” Bermúdez, timonel de CAMPER con Emirates Team New Zealand: &lt;br /&gt;“El anticiclón de Santa Helena está situado muy abajo, y para poder navegar con viento portante habrá que bajar muy al sur, recorriendo más millas y describiendo un círculo más amplio para coger la baja. A largo plazo estamos calculando las rutas como si navegáramos solos”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amory Ross, tripulante de comunicación de PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG: &lt;br /&gt;“Nuestro próximo objetivo es simple: ganar sur para coger el viento del oeste que nos empuje hacia Ciudad del Cabo. No hay muchas opciones tácticas antes de Fernando de Noronha, así que será un sprint en línea recta hasta que lleguemos. 10-15 nudos, amurados a babor, de ceñida o través cerrado. Van a ser un par de días de tensión”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yann Riou, tripulante de comunicación de Groupama sailing team:&lt;br /&gt; “La cosa no ha mejorado, al menos no para nosotros. La información meteorológica que nos llega indica que hay una vasta zona sin viento justo por nuestra proa… Las previsiones no son del todo fiables en este lugar del mundo, pero aún así, ese tipo de noticias no ayuda demasiado”.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mike Sanderson, patrón de Team Sanya: &lt;br /&gt;“Siempre me ha encantado llegar a Ciudad del Cabo. Me trae gratos recuerdos después de haber llegado segundo a bordo de Merit Cup en 1997, pero sobre todo tras ganar la primera etapa de la Volvo Ocean Race 2005-06 con ABN AMRO One. Pero ver Table Mountain desde un avión de South African Airlines no ha sido precisamente lo mismo. Es cierto que no huelo igual, y que he tenido la suerte de viajar con mi familia, pero salvo por eso, es un asco… Se suponía que tenía que llegar compitiendo a bordo del Sanya con mis compañeros de tripulación, ¡y no haciendo cola en aduanas pretendiendo que vengo aquí de vacaciones!”.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-2213883360081091655?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/2213883360081091655'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/2213883360081091655'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/vor-bienvenidos-al-sur.html' title='VOR, bienvenidos al sur'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EmANPJKloLo/TsPFeKzV0UI/AAAAAAAApkY/4hScxFg7QiQ/s72-c/blankimg.php.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-2314228787418066061</id><published>2011-11-16T11:01:00.004-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-16T11:06:38.686-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><title type='text'>TJV, Safran y el riesgo de navegar sólo con piloto automático</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PXQxMHxzfkE/TsPDDr0pwzI/AAAAAAAApkM/GBPes5ALnt0/s1600/f35917708c91aca007178fa83f4715eb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 236px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PXQxMHxzfkE/TsPDDr0pwzI/AAAAAAAApkM/GBPes5ALnt0/s400/f35917708c91aca007178fa83f4715eb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675594423487546162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Foto copyright Safran&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuente info Safran&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Transat Jacques Vabre&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;No pit stop for Safran&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marc Guillemot and Yann Eliès have in the end decided not to make a pit stop in the Dominican Republic, as they had been planning since Sunday. They want to fight it out all the way across the Caribbean to get as well placed in the rankings as they can and are expected to finish this weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the telephone this morning, Marc Guillemot kept it short, but was very clear explaining his decision, “We have passed the geographical point, where we would have been able to carry out the planned pit stop. After giving it a lot of thought, we finally decided yesterday evening not to stop. This was no easy decision considering all the organising that has already taken place. But weighing up the pros and cons, we realised that heading for the place we initially planned would take at least 5 or 6 hours on top of the repair work. So we have cancelled the pit stop and are continuing on our way, as it is highly motivating to tell ourselves that we can still aim for sixth place or even fifth place in Costa Rica.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The fight is far from over”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The skipper of Safran, who has never retired from a race aboard this boat, wants to fight. Never giving up. With Yann Eliès, he is therefore taking the risk of sailing the final miles in the Caribbean aboard a boat that is steered uniquely by the autopilot and without the possibility of having the best sails up for the conditions. “The boat can offer 85% of her normal potential,” declared Marc. It is true that yesterday overtaking Gamesa (Mike Golding) and Mirabaud (Dominique Wavre), was very motivating for Marc and Yann. The two sailors on Safran are certain that they have not yet had their final say as far as Groupe Bel (6th), and even Bureau Vallée (5th) are concerned. “Groupe Bel is faster than us today, but the battle isn’t over,” insisted Marc Guillemot, “In particular we are going to have to deal with a tropical low forming over Costa Rica for the final stretch. So there are bound to be opportunities between now and the finish…”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A calculated risk&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aboard Safran, Marc Guillemot and Yann Eliès, are remaining vigilant watching closely every little wind change. They only have one tool at their disposal, the remote control for the autopilot, as it has been impossible to steer by hand since the damage occurred. This is very stressful in these strong trade winds, blowing at 25 knots, but which are irregular in the squalls: the slightest delay in reacting or error made in pressing the buttons on the autopilot (+10 degrees, -10 degrees, etc.) can immediately have serious consequences. Marc and Yann are accepting this risk, which is real but calculated. If everything goes well Safran is due to finish in Puerto Limon on Saturday night. In what position?

Hasta el momento está ganando el estadounidense Tim Healy, último campeón mundial de J24.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoy se completaron dos regatas en las que salieron primeros el Mendieta (ARG 5461), timoneado por Francisco Van Avermaete y el Luca Vive (ARG 5447), con Alejandro Rigoni como timonel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La primera regata se iba a largar a las 14 horas, pero como había sólo 4 nudos tuvo que postergarse. Finalmente, a las 15:30, con viento del este de 6 nudos se largó la primera regata del campeonato. Unos minutos después, el viento aumentó hasta llegar a los 8 y 9 nudos, rotó a la derecha y hubo un cambio de recorrido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Después de las regatas invitamos a los participantes a participar de un tercer tiempo que se realizó en la. Allí hubo música y cerveza para los competidores. Esperamos que se hayan podido relajar y prepararse para mañana.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.j24worlds2011.org.ar/Section.aspx?id=1373"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Resultados parciales dos regatas corridas click acá&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-4311187876944458506?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/4311187876944458506'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/4311187876944458506'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/mundial-de-j-24-dia-1-con-triunfos.html' title='Mundial de J-24 día 1.

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Hugo Boss still in the prowl in the Caribbean&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second in to the Caribbean, passing round Mona island at around 0830hrs UTC, British skipper Alex Thomson has succeeded in keeping up the pressure on Transat Jacques Vabre race leader Virbac-Paprec 3 after a long, hard night of intense work in the trade winds, making several gybes to best line up with the passage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some extension by Virbac-Paprec 3 was inevitable as Jean Pierre Dick and Jérémie Beyou cleared the lee of the island chain first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Making the dog leg sharp turn around the tiny Mona island limited the lee effect of the Dominican Republic to their starboard, Hugo Boss following Virbac-Paprec’s line, arriving from a slightly more easterly track.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugo Boss may have lost a few miles in the process, but they were still under 100 miles behind, sufficiently in contact with the duo which have lead the 4570 miles course for over eight days, to hold out hopes they can unfold an act of piracy in the western Caribbean and plunder the French duo of the title which they appear to be on course for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sounding tired but positive when he spoke to Transat Jacques Vabre Race HQ in Paris this afternoon, Thomson confirmed that he expects the trade winds which they have presently to expire over the final 200 miles of the course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That there will be opportunities to catch the long time pacemakers, Thomson remains optimistic, but he also pointed out that the inevitable compression which would occur might also expose them to attack from their rivals behind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In third place Macif, the newest generation VPLP-Verdier design of François Gabart  and Seb Col remains 140 miles behind Hugo Boss on this Tuesday afternoon’s 1500hrs UTC/GMT standings. Macif have made no significant gains on the British flagged Hugo Boss since last night and Thomson expected to be out into the stronger, more consistent trade winds of the Caribbean in a matter of hours. Forecasts for the leading duo at least remain favourable for the next day at least with 20-25 kts trade winds blowing right down the track towards Costa Rica. Vibac-Paprec 3 was consuming miles voraciously this afternoon, with 923 miles to the finish line.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pursuit of the podium positions has lost none of its heat. Macif had just five miles on the equally relentless duo of Armel Le Cléac'h and Christopher Pratt on Banque Populaire while Bureau Vallée brothers Burton were slightly slower this afternoon, but still just 30 miles off the stern of the crack French duo on the boat which finished fourth on the last edition as Foncia, in the hands of Michel Desjoyeaux and Beyou.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Class 40 the northern duo of 40 Degrees and Norway’s Solo duo Ruune Aasberg and Simen Lovgren have made steady advances on Aquarelle.com, gaining more than 50 miles over the preceding 24 hours. Jenner admitted their gains were the result of hard driving but that they would eventually like to see some sunshine!&lt;br /&gt;Aquarelle.com had picked up speed again this afternoon and remained 118 miles ahead of ERDF Des Pieds et Des Mains, a small loss of 18 miles to the second placed duo of Damien Seguin and Yoanne Richomme since yesterday evening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quotes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hannah Jenner (GBR), skipper 40 Degrees (GBR):&lt;br /&gt;“It is going well but it would be pretty nice if our ballast system was not leaking like crazy. That is what I have been doing this morning, trying to fix it and bail out, apart from that we are good.”&lt;br /&gt;“Once we have filled the tanks and shut the valves, the big central tube empties about eight buckets of water in to the boat.”&lt;br /&gt;“Jesse is on deck I am working on it.”&lt;br /&gt;“It is been pretty lively out here where we are. The GRIB files have shown 18-20kts and the reality has been 25 with gusts to 30 so it has been quite full on.”&lt;br /&gt;“We are having to hand steer a lot just now, it is a bit too lively under the pilot which has tried to gybe us a couple of times, so we are doing two hours on and off during the day and one and a half hours on and off during the night and constantly hand steering.”&lt;br /&gt;“We are coming down on a nice band of pressure, we are doing OK on Solo behind us in terms of distance to the entrance to the Caribbean. There are two races still, one from here to the Caribbean and one in the Caribbean to the finish.&lt;br /&gt;“I think in near future we can keep making some miles on them. They will still be a bit ahead in the Caribbean but not so far it is not beyond the realms of possibility.”&lt;br /&gt;“We are on good form.  We would like some reprieve, just a couple of hours under pilot, you really seize up sitting up there. We would much rather have breeze than no breeze. And we are pleased that, so far, staying north has paid off. Now we have to make our way carefully down, and hopefully find some sunshine.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alex Thomson (GBR) skipper Hugo Boss (GBR):&lt;br /&gt;“We are into the Caribbean. We have been up all night and so we are pretty tired, we are just looking to get in to some steady wind and getting some rest to be honest. We had a few gybes coming through the channel, keeping out of  the way of the little island in the middle, so it was a bit busy.”&lt;br /&gt;“No problems at the moment, it is all good.”&lt;br /&gt;“It does look like the last couple of hundred miles as we close to Costa Rica could get very light,  the models are slightly disagreeing as to how light it will get. The opportunity for us to attack Virbac would be nice, they have opened up a little more on us, given that we were slightly more east than they were coming down the track to the waypoint here. Hopefully it will not be too complicated and we will get our chance at the end. I guess vice versa as well, though, the guys behind would get an opportunity to work on us. And we should see some compression as the front boats reach Costa Rica, with the front boats slowing down.”&lt;br /&gt;“Last night we were going to do three hours on three hours off and it just did not work like that at all. I think I managed to get a couple of hours sleep but Guillermo has not really had anything. The really hard thing is managing yourself and watching what you are doing, so that you just don’t burn yourself out. If you do burn yourself out it can be pretty dangerous, so we are trying to manage ourselves, thinking about tomorrow and not just today.”&lt;br /&gt;“We have to drive the boat harder I guess, with us on this boat to do any damage against the newer boats we just have to push harder, steer longer.”&lt;br /&gt;“I thought we might lose a few miles coming in to the Caribbean but we have not really, so I am pretty pleased that we still have a reasonable buffer there, 150 miles or so, and proud we did not lose Virbac. They should be shooting along right now, but we will be in the same breeze pretty sharpish and so we can hopefully stay with them.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Loïc Escoffier on Maitre Jacques:&lt;br /&gt;“ We Passed St Barts in rain with squalls. It was a magnificent night all the way to Guadeloupe. Now we have 15-20 knots and the sun is shining now.  Changes things to be able to see islands after crossing the ocean for 11 days or so.  Will pass between La Désirade and Guadeloupe in under 2hours. We have limited options. Only possibility is if the leaders slow down and somehow they get wind, but we will have to wait and see what happens, but for the moment we are not that optimistic.&lt;br /&gt;The most important thing for now is to enjoy our sailing.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jérémie Beyou, co-skipper Virbac Paprec 3&lt;br /&gt;“ We are going well, we are heading west under the Dominican Republic. The wind is stronger in places due to local conditions. It is nice to see land but no lights and only glimpsed it through cloudy conditions. We are working on how to get the best angle towards the finish.: It's going well, the wind has increased bit along the the Dominican Republic coast. It's turned a bit left and we have good speed on a starboard tack under spinnaker. We'll jibe in about 100 miles, then a long port tack down to Costa Rica. Tell the others that it's one jibe, all the way to the finish line!&lt;br /&gt;I'm going to keep it to myself, though, what will happen after the jibe!&lt;br /&gt;I think that the whole world can see the little depression by Panama and we'll have to manage it well to pass the little 'shitty' bit which we are focussed on for the future.&lt;br /&gt;It's always nice to see the first land after many days, but I was a little surprised to see that the Island of Monna isn't inhabitated. We didn't see any lights, just the island in the clouds. We had to do quite a few gybes to get us out of the passage and it was nice to be doing several manoeuvres one after the other."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nelson Burton, skipper, Bureau Vallée :&lt;br /&gt;“ It’s great! We steadily see the Caribbean approaching. We do everything we can to catch up on Macif and Banque Populaire. We’re completely into the race and working hard to be at full speed all the time. We had little trouble last night with the wind direction wand and we lost a spinnaker. Now we are under spinnaker, we are focusing on the Dominican Republic which we should reach in the afternoon with the last rays of sun, it would be great! It feels so good to sail under the sun and not in the cold anymore.&lt;br /&gt;We completely look in the rear view mirror, the goal is to move quickly to catch up the boats before us. Everything is getting altogether, it is clear in terms of competitors to catch up and outpace.

La regata lanzaroteña servirá además como cierre del RC44’ Challenge Tour, que se inicio a principios de año en San Diego (Lanzarote) y que ha pasado por Austria, Italia, Suecia y Croacia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El Team Aqua de Chris Bake y Cameron Appleton llega como el gran favorito después de liderar el Challenge Tour y siendo el equipo más en forma de la temporada. Quien no defenderá el título será el Oracle de Larry Ellison y Russell Coutts, que se encuentra participando en la America’s Cup World Series en San Diego esta misma semana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Calero, organizador del evento, está muy ilusionado de acoger nuevamente el Mundial de RC44’: “Para nosotros es un honor que nos hayan dado por segundo año consecutivo la categoría de Mundial a Puerto Calero, además este año sirve como colofón a toda la temporada”. Participarán un total de catorce barcos: “La clase está muy consolidada y tener a prácticamente toda la flota navegando en Lanzarote creo que es muy positivo para todos”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El armador líder del circuito, Chris Bake, está muy contento que el final de temporada sea en Puerto Calero: “Las condiciones de viento en esta época del año son perfectas y las previsiones son muy buenas. Esperemos tener una buena semana”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El patrón del Islas Canarias Puerto Calero, Jose María Ponce, también considera el Mundial como “nuestra particular regata del año, competimos en casa y tenemos muchas ganas de hacerlo bien. En regatas anteriores conseguimos hacer podio tanto en match race como en flota y aquí evidentemente lo vamos a intentar”. El objetivo primero es intentar acabar en el podio en match race “tenemos de acabar incluso segundos del circuito en la modalidad de match race. En flota lo tenemos más complicado ya que tendríamos que ganar y el Ceeref acabar quinto, con lo que todo es posible”. En cuanto al Mundial explica que “teniendo la categoría de Mundial siempre es un aliciente”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La competición consistirá en una primera jornada de match race y las cuatro siguientes ya serán en flota, el mismo formato de competición del RC44’ Challenge Tour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El Mundial de RC 44 es la última prueba del RC 44 Championship Tour, actualmente liderado por el Team Aqua, seguido del Oracle, Ceeref, Artemis e Islas Canarias Puerto Calero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se podrá seguir a través de la web: http://www.rc44puertocalero.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;CLASIFICACIÓN RC44’ CHALLENGE TOUR (Tras cinco eventos)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1   Team Aqua (GBR), 5&lt;br /&gt;2   ORACLE Racing (USA), 12&lt;br /&gt;3   RC44 Team CEEREF (SLO), 14&lt;br /&gt;4   Artemis Racing (SWE), 16&lt;br /&gt;5   Islas Canarias Puerto Calero (ESP), 18&lt;br /&gt;6   Katusha (RUS), 22&lt;br /&gt;7   No Way Back (NED), 22&lt;br /&gt;8   Aleph Sailing Team (FRA), 27&lt;br /&gt;9   Peninsula Petroleum Sailing Team (GBR), 33&lt;br /&gt;10   Ironbound (USA), 36&lt;br /&gt;11   Synergy Russian Sailing Team (RUS), 41&lt;br /&gt;12   Team Nika (RUS), 42&lt;br /&gt;13   AEZ Sailing Team (AUT), 41&lt;br /&gt;14   RUS-7 (RUS),  54&lt;br /&gt;15   MAG Racing (POL), 56&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-5883031104573019514?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/5883031104573019514'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/5883031104573019514'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/se-viene-el-mundial-de-rc44-en.html' title='Se viene el mundial de RC44 en Lanzarote'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ByIPdZLB1DI/TsJ9Y4Bu4QI/AAAAAAAApis/H-E_MhV5PaI/s72-c/RC44WCHnm_111115nm_0077.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-1255251224900449116</id><published>2011-11-15T11:44:00.004-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-15T11:51:22.804-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Volvo Ocean Race'/><title type='text'>VOR, todos en los Doldrums</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p7hHISMcg1w/TsJ78BFapLI/AAAAAAAApiU/fPz6HDaP_gg/s1600/blankimg.php.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p7hHISMcg1w/TsJ78BFapLI/AAAAAAAApiU/fPz6HDaP_gg/s400/blankimg.php.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675234751453766834" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TsZv69frn3I/TsJ78TKxuOI/AAAAAAAApig/5M08OgFFD9o/s1600/blankimg2.php.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TsZv69frn3I/TsJ78TKxuOI/AAAAAAAApig/5M08OgFFD9o/s400/blankimg2.php.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675234756308089058" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;Fuente info VOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15 de noviembre de 2011, 14:00h (13:00h UTC) - Etapa 1, Día 11   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;INMERSOS EN LOS DOLDRUMS, PREPARADOS PARA EL ECUADOR &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PUMA y Telefónica continúan liderando la Etapa 1, separados por apenas seis millas después de 2.700 de competición. Inmersos en los Doldrums desde anoche, avanzan a un ritmo relativamente vivo para esta zona de calmas ecuatoriales. Cruzarán dos ecuadores en las próximas horas: el ecuador de la Etapa 1 primero, y el ecuador geográfico después.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El PUMA recuperaba el liderato de la Etapa 1 en el reporte de las 5:00h de la madrugada, tras virar hacia el oeste y acercarse al rumbo del Telefónica. Cumplidas diez jornadas de competición, y tras 2.700 millas náuticas de enfrentamiento ininterrumpido, los barcos de Ken Read e Iker Martínez están separados por 6,2 millas. Desde anoche, ambos han ido ralentizando paulatinamente su ritmo a medida que entraban en la zona de calmas ecuatoriales, los temidos Doldrums, aunque de momento todavía disfrutan de suficiente presión como para avanzar a 10,4 (PUMA) y 11,5 (Telefónica) nudos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En las últimas 24 horas, el PUMA ha recorrido 375 millas náuticas, el Telefónica 369, el CAMPER 399 y el Groupama 429. En el parte de las 14:00h, el barco de Chris Nicholson se coloca a 128,5 millas del líder, mientras el de Franck Cammas se acerca hasta las 273,4 millas tras recuperar 20 solo en las últimas tres horas merced a navegar en vientos con el doble de intensidad que sus rivales. A esta hora, el líder es el más lento del pelotón, y el último es el más rápido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El efecto acordeón, provocado por la caída del viento para los barcos en cabeza, ha comenzado. De momento, Telefónica y PUMA negocian bien el campo de minas que provocan las nubes en el entorno del ecuador, pero habrá que esperar hasta que los cuatro barcos superen los Doldrums para saber cómo le ha afectado este “semáforo” a cada uno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PUMA y Telefónica se encuentran a menos de 100 millas del ecuador de la Etapa 1 y a alrededor de 240 millas del ecuador geográfico. En las próximas horas saltarán del hemisferio norte al hemisferio sur. Desde ese punto, les faltarán otras 230 millas hasta el punto de paso de Fernando de Noronha, frente a la costa de Brasil, que deberán dejar a babor. La previsión indica que realizarán ese tramo en rápida ceñida. Desde ese punto de inflexión, y hasta la meta en Ciudad del Cabo, afrontarán las 3.400 millas náuticas de un tramo en el que tradicionalmente se baten los récord de velocidad. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Parte de posiciones - Día 11 (15 de noviembre, 14:00h):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.

Team Sanya (Mike Sanderson), retirado de la Etapa 1 &lt;br /&gt;(* 1Nm, milla náutica = 1,852 km) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frases desde a bordo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iker Martínez, patrón de Team Telefónica:&lt;br /&gt;“Llevamos unos días intensos, porque estamos con el PUMA muy, muy cerquita. Ahora están ellos delante, hemos estado nosotros, luego se nos han ido un poquito; algunas veces por las nubes, otras por los cambios de velas; luego les hemos vuelto a coger... La verdad es que está siendo muy divertido”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andy MacLean, co-navegante de CAMPER con Emirates Team New Zealand:&lt;br /&gt;“Las tardes y las primeras horas de las mañanas son los períodos del día con mayor actividad de las nubes, así que tenemos que vigilar el radar y posicionar el barco en relación a las nubes más grandes. Estas formaciones nubosas pueden provocar dos escenarios: succionar el aire o provocar viento, dependiendo de que tengan lluvia o no. Pueden incrementar el viento un cien por cien o hacer que te quedes flotando en un pozo durante horas. Es importante identificar qué es qué”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amory Ross, tripulante de comunicación de PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG: &lt;br /&gt;“Tras un par de días de navegación fácil, nos pilló desprevenidos el primer golpe de vientos duros que encontramos ayer por a tarde, y a buen seguro que eso nos frenó respecto a nuestros rivales. Cuando anoche entramos en esta región de “días perdidos”, Telefónica estaba prácticamente pegado a nosotros, pero nos recuperamos muy bien y volvimos a ganar nuestra posición más al sur. Pero esa progresión no ha sido fácil; las condiciones imprevistas nos han mantenido ocupados, y anoche tocó una de chubascos y cambios de velas. Todos estamos cansados”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Damian Foxall, timonel de Groupama sailing team:&lt;br /&gt; “Esto todavía no se ha acabado, y todos somos conscientes de ello. Estamos bastante retrasados, pero ya estábamos preparados mentalmente para ello, ya nos dimos cuenta hace tiempo que la opción costera no tenía buena pinta. Las ganancias que estamos realizando tienen más que ver con la compresión de la flota que con velocidad de barco. Lo que es importante es ir recortando y asegurarse de que el barco va al cien por cien, no perder contacto con el resto de la flota, y para cuando lleguemos a la altura de Río de Janeiro, pueden surgir nuevas opciones”.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Nick Dana, tripulante de comunicación de Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing:&lt;br /&gt; “El poderoso Azzam todavía espera su carguero. La tripulación está realizando los últimos preparativos para la carga, que esperamos hacer esta noche. El equipo de trabajo está formado por Justin Slattery, Simon Fisher, Wade Morgan, Ben Davis y yo mismo”.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-1255251224900449116?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/1255251224900449116'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/1255251224900449116'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/vor-todos-en-los-doldrums.html' title='VOR, todos en los Doldrums'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p7hHISMcg1w/TsJ78BFapLI/AAAAAAAApiU/fPz6HDaP_gg/s72-c/blankimg.php.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-7764190481249898548</id><published>2011-11-14T23:56:00.003-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-14T23:58:53.950-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Clases internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='regatas locales'/><title type='text'>Argentino de 420 en marcha, reporte y resultados primer fin de semana</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Reporte de Feli Roldán&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sábado 12&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoy comenzó el Campeonato Argentino de 420 2011 organizado por el Club de Veleros Barlovento.&lt;br /&gt;Tenemos 27 participantes (cómo me dijo nuestro Presidente, Pablo Völker, casi lagrimeando "y pensar que hace dos años éramos 11...como creció la clase!") y una tripulación extranjera.&lt;br /&gt;Hoy, después de esperar un par de horas al viento, corrimos dos regatas con outer-loop. Las dos fueron ganadas irónicamente por la tripulación chilena formada por Nadja Horwitz y Sofía Middleton. Si esto sigue así, no las vamos a invitar más. &lt;br /&gt;En la primera tuvimos vientos de aproximadamente 10 nudos y aumentando. Las chilenas afanaron prácticamente la regata desde el momento en el que la flota fue víctima de un fenómeno denominado "tapón" en el reach. En segundo lugar quedamos los Roldan Brothers y en tercero la tripulación local conformada por Juan García Rodríguez y Facundo Olezza.&lt;br /&gt;En la segunda regata tuvimos vientos un poco más fuertes, yo diría que hasta 15 nudos, más del sudeste. Nadja y Sofía también se llevaron la regata con Juancito y Facu en segundo lugar y Brian Higgins y Juan Martín Queirel en tercero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Domingo 13&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El domingo siguieron las regatas del Campeonato Argentino de 420.&lt;br /&gt;Salimos con vientos del Este de 15 nudos aproximadamente, que fueron rotando al SE y aumentando de a poco.&lt;br /&gt;Corrimos cuatro larguísimas regatas, las dos primeras ganadas por la tripulación chilena formada por Nadja Horwitz y Sofía Middleton. Las otras dos fueron para Juan García Rodríguez y Facundo Olezza que, después de seis regatas, vienen liderando el campeonato seguidos muy de cerca por Nadja y Sofía. Florencia Lazzari y Alejandro Giralt se ubican en el tercer puesto, un poco más alejados.&lt;br /&gt;El fin de semana que viene continuarán las regatas, hasta entonces los resultados completos están acá :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.barlovento.org.ar/index_regata420.htm"&gt;Resultados parciales click acá&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-7764190481249898548?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/7764190481249898548'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/7764190481249898548'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/argentino-de-420-en-marcha-reporte-y.html' title='Argentino de 420 en marcha, reporte y resultados primer fin de semana'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-3098472031260792591</id><published>2011-11-14T23:01:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-14T23:01:46.202-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ACWS'/><title type='text'>ACWS San Diego, acción a bordo del Green Comm</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="450" height="275"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/e6lnvjpw4cQ?version=3&amp;amp;hl=es_ES"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/e6lnvjpw4cQ?version=3&amp;amp;hl=es_ES" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="275" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-3098472031260792591?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/3098472031260792591'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/3098472031260792591'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/acws-san-diego-accion-bordo-del-green.html' title='ACWS San Diego, acción a bordo del Green Comm'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-2317330278340614240</id><published>2011-11-14T23:00:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-14T23:01:27.653-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Purre'/><title type='text'>La palabra del día, por Purre</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Melancolía&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los antiguos creían que el temperamento de las personas dependía de las secreciones, o sea, de los humores segregados por el organismo, de los cuales cada persona tenía uno predominante.

A las 11 tuvimos la reunión de timoneles en la carpa, donde los competidores se reunieron con el Comité Organizador.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luego llegó el momento de acción en la cancha de regatas, ya que se corrió la regata de práctica, donde todos los barcos pudieron probar cómo navegan en estas aguas. Hubo viento SE de 8 nudos, en aumento. El estadounidense Mike Ingham llevó la delantera durante todo el recorrido pero, como es costumbre en este tipo de regatas, no cruzó la línea de llegada. Los resultados están disponibles en: &lt;a href="http://www.j24worlds2011.org.ar/Section.aspx?id=1373"&gt;http://www.j24worlds2011.org.ar/Section.aspx?id=1373&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A las 18 horas se realizó la ceremonia de apertura en el edificio principal del Yacht Club Argentino. Allí se realizó el izado de banderas de cada uno de los países de la competencia (Argentina, Australia, Brasil, Chile, Estados Unidos, Italia, Gran Bretaña, Perú y Uruguay) y el Comodoro del Club, el Sr. Ricardo Galarce, realizó un discurso de apertura con el que dio por iniciado oficialmente el campeonato. También hubo palabras de Emilio Feliú, el Chairman del Jurado Internacional, y del Inspector Jefe de Equipamiento, Tim Winger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luego de la ceremonia hubo un cocktail donde los competidores pudieron relajarse y conversar sobre la regata de hoy y cómo se prepararán para las próximas regatas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mañana empezará la competencia, con la primera regata del campeonato que se postergó para las 14 horas. ¡Mucha suerte para todos!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-2932357884556836424?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/2932357884556836424'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/2932357884556836424'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/mundial-de-j-24-regata-preparatoria.html' title='Mundial de J-24, regata preparatoria'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Cnwtw0DNbHc/TsHFix9rekI/AAAAAAAApiI/WbJRLy-7ms4/s72-c/Imagen%2B9.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-5554391011113126151</id><published>2011-11-14T15:22:00.004-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-14T15:27:03.002-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='S40'/><title type='text'>Lo mejor de Rodrigo Fernández en Algarrobo</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0Fij4Jh3mn8/TsFcoKWASKI/AAAAAAAApg0/n5nWUwsjvjo/s1600/303024_2558234644691_1518766282_2763805_2061813677_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0Fij4Jh3mn8/TsFcoKWASKI/AAAAAAAApg0/n5nWUwsjvjo/s400/303024_2558234644691_1518766282_2763805_2061813677_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674918850504706210" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hoy le doy la tapa del blog a un 68 de pura cepa.

The Caribbean trade winds are forecast to start off brisk before becoming less organised and well defined, but with over 190 miles of margin, the chasing pack are still not posing any threat to the leading two boats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Macif, François Gabart and Seb Col, are leading the chase in third place with all of the IMOCA Open 60 fleet now lined up on their SW’ly trajectory towards the gap into the Caribbean. Kito de Pavant and Yann Reginiau on Groupe Bel gybed just after midday as did Mike Golding and Bruno Dubois on Gamesa. The duo which broke to the south last Friday have not made any significant gains on the pack for their moves, though both duos were hoping their leverage to the east, sailing a more open angle towards the gap may allow them to redress the balance a little. De Pavant commented on the afternoon’s radio vacs: “ I'm not sure we’ve lost or gained much. At the very least I do not think we’ve lost anything. We risked ending up with Mirabaud and Safran. We have a good angle allowing us to get south a bit now. And a few degrees of difference in the trade winds can make a big difference and suddenly you get good leverage.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Golding sounded content that they had given the option a go, gambling to gain on the leaders rather than pace themselves against the pack, but in the end last night their efforts were not helped when they suffered a gennaker furler malfunction: “We have suffered for our decision to go to the south round that area of light wind and are paying the price for it know, but otherwise everything is fine onboard, we had a bit of a drama last night with one of our furling drums and ended up with our Code 3 [gennaker] and having to drop it without it being furled. We spent two hours half flying and half trawling our Code 3. There are a few little set backs, otherwise everything is fine onboard.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though in Class 40 there is still a big lead for Aquarelle.com, over 140 miles, the advance of Hannah Jenner and Jesse Naimark-Rowse on 40 Degrees and Norway’s Ruune Aasberg some 400 miles to the north of their rivals is looking good for the meantime as the duo rise to a solid third and fourth respectively, some 34 miles apart. They are on the northern edge of the Azores High with a breeze which will progressively lift them and allow them to get south well. They have 130 miles to gain to be a serious threat to second placed ERDF Des Pieds et Des Mains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quotes :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kito de Pavant, skipper Groupe Bel:&lt;br /&gt;"It goes pretty OK we are in the process of getting across to join the course taken by our northern friends. We will see how we cross them tonight or tomorrow morning when we will see the what plays out really from our option. I'm not sure we’ve lost or gained much. At the very least I do not think we’ve lost anything. We risked ending up with Mirabaud and Safran. We have a good angle allowing us to get south a bit now. And a few degrees of difference in the trade winds can make a big difference and suddenly you get good leverage. We would like the cow's ears grow a bit to protect us from the sun: I will take my watch soon, which is not so pleasant as the sun is very warm in the morning. But there is some wind which cools down the temperature a bit. And below there are sometimes when you cannot find the fan ....&lt;br /&gt;I take a quiet coffee, we sleep a lot, both myself and Yann because we gave a lot early in the race and we have a sleep deficit that we try to recover but we are still a bit tired."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christopher Pratt, co-skipper Banque Populaire:&lt;br /&gt;“ We were sailing within sight of Macif yesterday, but then separated apart yesterday when they gybed. But the battle is on to the finish. Everything is wet on board. At the helm it is completely soaked, so even in hot weather we have our foulies on. We always have someone out on deck. Im starting to get a rash from damp around cuffs. I am not really tired. I have not really even considered it. My body is now used to rhythm. Armel is in charge of strategy. For the moment maybe its not exactly what we were hoping for approaching the French West Indies. We need to stay up there with the others and then in final stretch there will be opportunities I am sure.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yves Le Blevec, skipper, Actual:&lt;br /&gt;“ We had a magnificent sunrise over St Barts. The trade winds will be less favourable ahead and we have to be careful to avoid wind shadow of islands. Wherever Maître Jacques is, nothing changes in the way we are sailing.  We pushing the boat hard in any case. Physically we are OK, but we are starting to feel some tiredness particularly when trying to keep balance aboard the boat. It was like a lake as we passed St Barts with 15-knot wind and 15 knots of boat speed”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mike Golding (GBR) skipper Gamesa (GBR):&lt;br /&gt;“We have suffered for our decision to go to the south round that area of light wind and paying the price for it know, but otherwise everything is fine onboard, we had a bit of a drama last night with one of our furling drums and ended up with our Code 3 [gennaker] and having to drop it without it being furled. We spent two hours half flying and half trawling our Code 3. There are a few little set backs, otherwise everything is fine onboard.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In terms of that choice to go South, were you feeling that you couldn't race directly against Macif and Banque Populaire?&lt;br /&gt;“ The new boats are very quick, really it was more a question of looking at where Virbac Paprec and Hugo Boss were and saying well, you can follow, which means you just maintain your distance which is what everyone has done, or you can potentially look to get some leverage which could pay dividends and allow you to close up on them. I was probably looking more forward in the fleet, rather than around me.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How's the mood and motivation onboard?&lt;br /&gt;“ Everything is good, we are both very tired, it was pretty hard work getting the sail back onboard, we are just about to wool it to get it back up again. Both of us had a recovery sleep, had time to get ourselves sorted out. Very pleasant, beautiful sunny day, 20-25 knots of breeze, fast downwind sailing, pretty pleasant, can't really complain at that. I hear the weather in England is pretty good at the moment, but it isn't the Caribbean!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tell us about the rhythm and routine now - you say you are on the edge a lot, how much do you star and how do you pace each other?&lt;br /&gt;“ We were steering a lot yesterday with the kite because the pilot can manage it, but the pilot is completely fearless so the pilot will put the helm up when it really needs to come down. So the boat goes from charging along at 20-25 knots to floating along at 10 knots. It's quite disconcerting, quite nerve-racking. So its actually better to steer the boat to get a more consistent performance. We had to steer by hand quite a lot yesterday. But today we are on a Code Sail so the performance is more steady, the pilot is handling it really well and following the wind, every little shift it tracks which is what a helmsman would do. The pilot is relentless at it, which makes it quite powerful tool for these sort of conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In terms of the options down to the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, you have to take the same lay line as the boats to your West.&lt;br /&gt;“ We may go all the way across to the West, or not. You only have so many tools in your bag, and one of the tools you have is leverage. While we don't want to use all our leverage, as we get down there, we could get headed, and be able to make it in there. We won't do in all our leverage in one hit. “&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Caribbean is a long stretch in itself with plenty of opportunities?&lt;br /&gt;“The routing in the Caribbean looks a bit benign, what I mean is that there is a fairly consistent weather pattern across the Caribbean, which sort of defines the routing. The options are considerably less than they have been in the Atlantic over the last couple of weeks, which is a shame as it means less opportunity, but a race like this is never over until it is over and every sailor in the fleet here will have done a race where there is a clear leader, but at the end there is a massive turn around as there is no wind in the final approach and the boats behind charge in. The race isn't over yet and the three guys at the front, particularly Bureau Vallée, Virbac Paprec 3 and Hugo Boss have all taken some gambles to be where they are and have done well at it and good for them!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Standings at 1700hrs CET on Monday, november 14th, 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IMOCA&lt;br /&gt;1 - Virbac Paprec 3 (Jean-Pierre Dick - Jérémie Beyou) : 1160,8 milles to finish&lt;br /&gt;2 - Hugo Boss (Alex Thomson - Guillermo Altadill) : 63,8 milles to leader&lt;br /&gt;3 - Macif (François Gabart - Sébastien Col) : 237,4 milles to leader&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Multi50&lt;br /&gt;1 - Actual (Yves Le Blevec - Samuel Manuard) : 1680,2 milles to finish&lt;br /&gt;2 - Maitre Jacques (Loïc Fequet - Loïc Escoffier) : 200,4 milles to leader&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Class40&lt;br /&gt;1 - Aquarelle.com (Yannick Bestaven - Eric Drouglazet) : 2356,5 milles to finish&lt;br /&gt;2 - ERDF Des Pieds et des Mains (Damien Seguin - Yoann Richomme) : 137 milles to leader&lt;br /&gt;3 - 40 degrees (Hannah Jenner - Jesse Naiwark) : 249,9 milles to leader&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.transat-jacques-vabre.com/classement-general"&gt;For more rankings, click-here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-3049662193556619138?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/3049662193556619138'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/3049662193556619138'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/tjv-dia-12.html' title='TJV día 12'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MMKGNuMpuU0/TsFUPrXvvDI/AAAAAAAApeg/ctRkMaRIQv0/s72-c/6311962046_d7233c5945_o.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-7502005430762139293</id><published>2011-11-14T15:02:00.005-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-14T15:17:15.693-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='amigos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='S40'/><title type='text'>S40 en Chile, fotelis con amigos</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y-QtLIfc0rY/TsFYoIOFRBI/AAAAAAAApf8/6R6rfF7VI9I/s1600/DSC00960.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y-QtLIfc0rY/TsFYoIOFRBI/AAAAAAAApf8/6R6rfF7VI9I/s400/DSC00960.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674914451888096274" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;Parte de la tripu del Pisco Sour y un saludo especial para un miembro de la tripu..., no más comentarios&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3HPz2lSF8Qk/TsFYn0P9fpI/AAAAAAAApfs/aXvOvs7kb10/s1600/DSC00967.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3HPz2lSF8Qk/TsFYn0P9fpI/AAAAAAAApfs/aXvOvs7kb10/s400/DSC00967.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674914446527266450" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pablo Herman y Diego "scrappy" Stefani&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bhx28ZoJ4_s/TsFYStF-dAI/AAAAAAAApfc/JRBtMdunad8/s1600/DSC00971.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bhx28ZoJ4_s/TsFYStF-dAI/AAAAAAAApfc/JRBtMdunad8/s400/DSC00971.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674914083829085186" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jorge Zuazola, MVP del Pisco Sour en todas las regatas, todo el año.

Para muchos de los participantes fue un entrenamiento idóneo para el Mundial de Nueva Zelanda, que tendrá lugar el próximo mes de diciembre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El premio al primer clasificado consistió en una invitación para la próxima edición del Clinic de Optimist de Marina Rubicón, valorado en 1.000 euros, mientras que el resto de premiados obtuvo un vale regalo para gastar en la tienda náutica de la Marina. También recibieron su galardón la danesa Amanda Ammundsen como mejor fémina del torneo y el español Julio Jordán como mejor clasificado de 11 años o menor, así como el equipo La revelación, capitaneado por Ducasse, en la modalidad de Team Racing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todos los participantes, que disfrutaron el sábado de una barbacoa en el Hotel Sun Group, destacaron a lo largo de la semana las condiciones inigualables que posee Lanzarote para la práctica de deportes náuticos y para el mundo de la vela, así como el gran trabajo desarrollado por los monitores argentinos Gonzalo Pollitzer, Sebastián Peri Brusa, Manuel Resano y Diego Blatt, así como por el preparador del equipo nacional danés, Dennis Paaske.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tanto es así que el seleccionador holandés se encuentra estos días en las instalaciones del puerto deportivo del sur de la Isla preparando la próxima cita mundialista con los cinco regatistas que representarán a su país, a los que se han sumado dos alemanes y dos norteamericanos, que entrenarán también con Gonzalo ‘Bocha’ Pollitzer, director de Marina Rubicón Sailing Center.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-3753862829249224268?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/3753862829249224268'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/3753862829249224268'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/final-para-el-clinic-de-optimist-de.html' title='Final para el Clinic de Optimist de Marina Rubicón'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I7jSPXCv7vM/TsFTenwlPmI/AAAAAAAApeQ/nnjpptbC024/s72-c/Flota%2B%25C3%25BAltima%2Bsalida.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-7115749703651683800</id><published>2011-11-14T14:40:00.004-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-14T14:42:09.394-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Clases internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='regatas locales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><title type='text'>Se viene el mundial de J-24 en Buenos Aires, hoy regata preparatoria</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bG-0sRwa7mI/TsFSxATHNyI/AAAAAAAApd8/ZFovuXGmcv8/s1600/2635.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 97px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bG-0sRwa7mI/TsFSxATHNyI/AAAAAAAApd8/ZFovuXGmcv8/s400/2635.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674908007310767906" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Fuente info YCA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Día 3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoy (NR: por ayer) se realizaron las últimas mediciones y acreditaciones de los barcos.

Ellos son Emilio Feliú, Chairman del Jurado Internacional, y Tom Rinda, Juez Internacional ¡no se pierdan estas entrevistas!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;http://www.j24worlds2011.org.ar/Content.aspx?Id=1285&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-7115749703651683800?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/7115749703651683800'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/7115749703651683800'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/se-viene-el-mundial-de-j-24-en-buenos.html' title='Se viene el mundial de J-24 en Buenos Aires, hoy regata preparatoria'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bG-0sRwa7mI/TsFSxATHNyI/AAAAAAAApd8/ZFovuXGmcv8/s72-c/2635.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-8322974118811249259</id><published>2011-11-14T11:09:00.003-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-14T11:14:57.294-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Volvo Ocean Race'/><title type='text'>VOR, Telefónica vuelve a liderar</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yREDSlCvq4M/TsEhxZqQs5I/AAAAAAAApdw/D9F9L5oD1bw/s1600/110913_TeamTelefonica_MIV0144.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 276px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yREDSlCvq4M/TsEhxZqQs5I/AAAAAAAApdw/D9F9L5oD1bw/s400/110913_TeamTelefonica_MIV0144.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674854138048983954" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;Fuente info Telefónica&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;EL “TELEFÓNICA”, NUEVO LÍDER EN LA VOLVO OCEAN RACE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14-11-2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El bimedallista olímpico Iker Martínez y su tripulación regresan a la cabeza de la flota y se preparan para afrontar en breve las calmas ecuatoriales&lt;br /&gt;A las 14:00 horas de hoy lunes, cuando exactamente comienza el décimo día competición non-stop en la Volvo Ocean Race, el barco español “Telefónica” regresa a lo más alto y se convierte en el nuevo líder de la flota.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La tripulación liderada por el bimedallista olímpico Iker Martínez culmina con éxito una lucha con el “Puma” que se había intensificado especialmente en las últimas 24 horas: de las 16 millas de distancia existentes ayer a las 14:00 horas entre los estadounidense y el “Telefónica”, a las 7,2 millas de primera hora de la mañana en España, las 2,7 millas del parte de las 11:00 horas y finalmente la exigua milla de ventaja que ahora mantienen los españoles sobre el que se ha convertido, una vez más, en su máximo perseguidor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahora sí, toda la flota navega hacia el Sur prácticamente en paralelo. El “Telefónica” continúa siendo el más veloz de la flota y el único barco que registra con velocidades superiores a los 20 nudos. Es la embarcación situada más al Este de toda la flota y, al igual que “Puma” y “Camper Emirates Team New Zealand”, ya ha dejado el archipiélago de Cabo Verde atrás. Ahí precisamente es por donde navega el francés “Groupama”, cuya opción africana le ha costado ya más de 300 millas, y que decidía pasar dichas islas por el Este, bastante próximo a ellas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Próxima alerta: las calmas ecuatoriales&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A bordo del “Telefónica” están ahora pendientes de la evolución de los Doldrums. Los españoles continúan aproximándose al Ecuador y ello implica también hacerlo a las peligrosas calmas ecuatoriales o Doldrums.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todo apunta que los españoles podrían alcanzarlas en un día. “Por ahora parecen estar bastante tranquilas, esperemos que sigan así cuando lleguemos y nos permitan pasar rápido”, decía Iker Martínez, quien añadía en una comunicación escrita desde el barco que “el ‘Groupama’ parece que va a sufrir mucho para salir de donde está. Es probable que pierda bastantes millas, así que ahora nuestros rivales más cercanos  para las calmas ecuatoriales son ‘Camper Team New Zealand’ y ‘Puma’”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A pesar de la inyección de moral que supone recuperar el liderato, no hay que olvidar que ésta ha sido una de las múltiples batallas que se vivirán a lo largo de las restantes 4.200 millas de navegación hasta Ciudad del Cabo (Sudáfrica). No obstante, los de Martínez se anotan un tanto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Estamos todos contentos porque las cosas están marchando bien”, comentaba desde a bordo Iker, que a su vez recordaba infundiendo calma que “esto es una carrera de resistencia. Llevábamos muchos meses preparando todo y el resultado de la regata costera nos puso un poco rabiosos, pero ahora ya estamos más tranquilos porque las cosas funcionan a bordo, empezamos a entender mejor qué le gusta al barco, qué velas funcionan mejor en cada rumbo y cómo hacer los cambios más eficazmente”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Calor tropical&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estar a unas 600 millas de la Latitud 0º tiene también sus consecuencias agradables. Como relataba el murciano Diego Fructuoso esta madrugada, a bordo del “Telefónica” “la mayoría de la tripulación ha optado por ‘aparcar temporalmente’ las botas y ponerse las zapatillas. Yo también me he cambiado la parte de arriba, que llevaba puesta la misma desde Alicante.... La camiseta térmica ha dejado paso a una camiseta ligera…”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Con menos agua barriendo la cubierta, en el barco español también han aprovechado para ventilar en la medida de lo posible el interior de un barco en el que conviven 11 personas en unas condiciones bastante limitadas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tras muchos días de agua y temperaturas frías, el calor se agradece. Aunque como siempre, en exceso nada es bueno… Veremos cuál será la temperatura a bordo en pleno Ecuador…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;CLASIFICACIÓN PROVISIONAL ETAPA 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ALICANTE (ESPAÑA) – CIUDAD DEL CABO (SUDÁFRICA): 6.500 millas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Día 10 – 14:00 hora española – 14 de Noviembre de 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1º Team Telefónica (Iker Martínez), a 4.204,5 millas de la llegada&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2º Puma Ocean Racing (Ken Read), + 0,7 millas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3º Camper with Emirates Team New Zealand (Chris Nicholson), + 152,1 millas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4º Groupama Sailing Team (Franck Cammas), + 327,5 millas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing (Ian Walker), retirado de la etapa 1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Team Sanya (Mike Sanderson), retirado de la etapa 1&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-8322974118811249259?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/8322974118811249259'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/8322974118811249259'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/vor-telefonica-vuelve-liderar.html' title='VOR, Telefónica vuelve a liderar'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yREDSlCvq4M/TsEhxZqQs5I/AAAAAAAApdw/D9F9L5oD1bw/s72-c/110913_TeamTelefonica_MIV0144.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-2730311536380645590</id><published>2011-11-14T09:29:00.002-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-14T09:32:53.937-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ACWS'/><title type='text'>ACWS San Diego, Port Cities Challenge para team New Zealand</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SCXTj7265wY/TsEKX6axm0I/AAAAAAAApdY/TELIdqam8ek/s1600/m4063_GMR_SDWS13_8146.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SCXTj7265wY/TsEKX6axm0I/AAAAAAAApdY/TELIdqam8ek/s400/m4063_GMR_SDWS13_8146.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674828411398363970" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:78%;"&gt;©2011 ACEA/Gilles Martin-Raget&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Fuente info AC34&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Emirates Team New Zealand claim Port Cities Challenge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;San Diego, 14/11/2011&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Ideal racing conditions returned to San Diego on Sunday, with 6-10 knot westerlies and bright sunny skies. Crowds poured into the America’s Cup Village to watch the racing which at time brought the boats just a few yards from the viewing points along Broadway and Navy Piers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emirates Team New Zealand may have been the last crew to arrive in town on Friday and skipper Dean Barker had never sailed in San Diego ahead of Saturday’s first race. But his team didn’t miss a beat, winning the Port Cities Challenge on this opening preliminary weekend of the America’s Cup World Series.&lt;br /&gt;"The teams are doing more and more sailing, so the standard is getting higher and higher," said Dean Barker. "I think in a venue like this that's quite tricky you'll see a lot of place changes. So it's going to be about staying consistent."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Kiwis were certainly that. Despite winning just one of the six races, they had five finishes in the top three to win by a comfortable seven points over ORACLE Racing Spithill. Artemis Racing was third, one point further back&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Saturday, China Team won a race for the first time at AC World Series and on Sunday it was the French teams in the spotlight. First it was Aleph with new skipper Pierre Pennec at the helm, who took a win in race four. But not to be outdone, Energy Team sailed a flawless race six with skipper Yann Guichard to claim their first team win.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It's a fantastic day for Aleph,” said Pennec after racing. “The wind was very shifty, but it was sunny, there was enough wind to fly the hull and we won our first race so a great day for us.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“By the fourth race the crew was very tired,” said Guichard, describing his winning race. “But we didn’t make any mistakes and to get a first bullet for our team is really perfect.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Representatives of the five Port Cities were onboard the race boats during the first contest of the day. Coast Guard Commander Michael Leo Guerrero won bragging rights for the Port City of Chula Vista on ORACLE Racing Spithill, racing to a second place finish ahead of the other boats representing Port Cities, to claim the ‘fastest Port City’ designation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It was awesome, just great,” said Commander Guerrero, who was representing Chula Vista for Mayor Cheryl Cox. “The boats are phenomenal, and to go that fast, is really amazing. We hear a lot about the technology that's behind these boats, and now I can say I've seen it in action.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.americascup.com/es/ACWS-2011---Resultados/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Resultados click acá&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-2730311536380645590?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/2730311536380645590'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/2730311536380645590'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/acws-san-diego-port-cities-challenge.html' title='ACWS San Diego, Port Cities Challenge para team New Zealand'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SCXTj7265wY/TsEKX6axm0I/AAAAAAAApdY/TELIdqam8ek/s72-c/m4063_GMR_SDWS13_8146.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-601088595719727760</id><published>2011-11-14T08:33:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-14T09:34:39.077-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Match race'/><title type='text'>WMRT, Bruni quiere hacer historia</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h5p0qCgnVYw/TsEKvbNVEZI/AAAAAAAApdk/VGSbKRoLgl4/s1600/Bruni_Racing_team_battle_it_out_at_the_Portimao_Portugal_Match_Cup_2011_Photo_by_Chris_Davies_WMRT.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 246px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h5p0qCgnVYw/TsEKvbNVEZI/AAAAAAAApdk/VGSbKRoLgl4/s400/Bruni_Racing_team_battle_it_out_at_the_Portimao_Portugal_Match_Cup_2011_Photo_by_Chris_Davies_WMRT.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674828815337329042" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:78%;"&gt;© Chris Davies/WMRT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Fuente info WMRT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Bruni Unfazed by Chance to Make History&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;London, UK – 14 November, 2011: Francesco Bruni stands on the brink of becoming the first Italian to capture the ISAF Match Racing World Championship at this month’s Monsoon Cup but remains undaunted by the task that awaits him. Should he win the title, the 1994 Laser World Champion and Olympic and America’s Cup campaigner says it will be a career defining achievement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The popular skipper started the 2011 World Match Racing Tour in great form with podium finishes at his first three events but followed that with a series of lackluster performances before fighting to third place at the Argo Group Gold Cup to give his season a timely fillip. In the ISAF rankings he holds the bragging rights as the World No. 1 and in the Tour Championship he sits just six points behind 2-time Match Racing World Champion Ian Williams (GBR) Team GAC Pindar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The scene is set for a three-way showdown between Torvar Mirsky (AUS) The Wave Muscat, Williams and Bruni (ITA) Bruni Racing. While the likes of Peter Gilmour (AUS) YANMAR Racing and Bjorn Hansen (SWE) Mekonomen Sailing Team can still mathematically capture the 2011 world title in Malaysia, Bruni believes “it’s unlikely that Torvar, Ian or myself will sail badly enough that none of us make it to the quarter-finals.” Ironically, Bruni’s worst win rate amongst the Tour Card Holders is against his two chief rivals however the Italian isn’t fazed by those statistics: “Yes, we have made some mistakes against these guys this year which have cost us points but I’m not scared about our matches against them. We aren’t really worried about taking on any team particularly, we just have to sail our best.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both Williams and Mirsky have placed a lot of emphasis on their team spirit and Bruni is no different, citing his experienced and close team mates as good reason to be confident:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Experience definitely helps in dealing with pressure. We’ve had moments like this already this year so hopefully they will help our team get through it. It’s not going to be easy, our opponents are very tough but we’ve been working a lot as a team and feel confident. We will feel the pressure obviously but we’ve been through a lot this year as a team so that will help us.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is Bruni’s first full season on the Tour and he will be relatively inexperienced to racing in Kuala Terengganu compared to his two nearest rivals. Bruni also accepts that he gives further ground to Mirsky when it comes to the boats, the Italian saying “Torvar definitely has a big advantage as he’s from Perth and he’s grown up with these [Foundation 36] boats so he knows them very well.” So where does Bruni feel his advantage lies?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Malaysia and the Monsoon Cup are noted for light winds which are conditions we are confident in – so we will get even on that. We get good boat speed and everyone else needs to be careful of that. The big boats also suit us - it’s no secret that our best events are in big boats.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year, Ben Ainslie chose the high risk option to take on the then Championship leader Mathieu Richard (FRA) French Match Racing Team at the earliest opportunity in the knock out rounds. If he lost that was his Championship challenge over. Ainslie took the match 3-1 and went on to capture both the Monsoon Cup and the World Championship – Bruni though, would not be drawn on whether he’ll do the same if given the option: “It all depends on how well the others are sailing, it’s too early to say what we would do. We will go out there and do our best in the Qualifying rounds and then decide after that. Hopefully we will be lucky enough to have the choice of opponents.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pundits have all said Bruni’s season will be deemed a success whatever happens in Malaysia however the Italian says he has raised his expectations since the start of the season when he said: “Honestly, this season we’re looking at the top three – we have to get there.” Just eight days from the Monsoon Cup, a determined Bruni re-assessed his goal: “We are definitely aiming for the win now, we can’t accept third - we can’t think third would be a success. We never expected to be heading into the Monsoon Cup with such a strong chance of winning so this season has been a big success for us already but it would be silly to think that’s enough.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bruni is certainly determined and unfazed and while he holds some advantages over both Williams and Mirsky, they can say the same about him. So could it come down to his superstitious cap – the Match Race Germany cap he has worn all season since his victory there in May?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The hat was one of my first ones and it’s been lucky for me at times but not always!

La salida fue dominada por el Bribón Movistar de Marc de Antonio y el Team Bros de Toni Rivas sin olvidarnos del Robertíssima que optaba por salir por la parte central de la línea. Estas tres embarcaciones serian durante toda la prueba las grandes protagonistas a pesar de los impresionantes roles ya que mantendrían sus posiciones de principio a fin con un Bribón Movistar como claro dominador de la jornada. También cabe destacar la actuación del debutante gipuzcoano Nueva Bahía de Pasaia de Jon Obeso que lograba colarse en el cuarto puesto de la prueba logrando el quinto de la general.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tras esta prueba el comité de regatas decidió dar por finalizada la primera Serie de las Merchbanc Barcelona Winter Series ya que las condiciones meteorológicas no garantizaban una nueva manga de calidad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En la clasificación general el líder y vencedor de esta primera prueba de las Merchbanc Barcelona Winter Series de Melges 32 ha sido el Team Bros de Naofumi Kamei con 5 puntos seguido por el español Bribón Movistar y el austriaco Robertíssima de Roberto Tomasini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La segunda prueba de las Merchbanc Barcelona Winter Series será los días 16, 17 y 18 de diciembre en las instalaciones del Real Club Náutico de Barcelona, donde se podrá contar con once monotipos de la clase Melges 32.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Declaraciones de Toni Rivas patrón del Team Bros:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Día complicado, la verdad que hemos salvado los muebles en una jornada muy difícil ya que podías hacer un primero o un último sin duda ha sido un buen fin de semana. En cuanto a la clase el nivel es alto y puede tener tirón en España. Es una clase espectacular y divertida y seguro que muchos armadores se animarán”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Declaraciones de Marc de Antonio patrón del Bribón Movistar:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"La verdad que Estamos muy contentos de como ha ido todo este fin de semana, sin duda ha sido meteorologicamente complicado pero se han celebrado tres pruebas. estamos con ganas de que llegue el segundo evento. Destaco ante todo el gran ambiente que ha sido  muy bueno e internacional".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-6238454833548124490?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/6238454833548124490'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/6238454833548124490'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/merchbank-barcelona-winter-series-de_13.html' title='Merchbank Barcelona Winter Series de Melges 32 para Team Bross'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_2NcKA012sA/TsBUwVMconI/AAAAAAAApdM/aChEdoMzQNI/s72-c/winterseries1_jrenedo16371.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-299834463888572527</id><published>2011-11-13T03:50:00.004-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-13T03:53:36.570-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ACWS'/><title type='text'>ACWS San Diego, día 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0SmTDFDHwmQ/Tr9pIyP_38I/AAAAAAAApcE/vo42vWz2NHI/s1600/m4058_GMR_SDWSD12_0051.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0SmTDFDHwmQ/Tr9pIyP_38I/AAAAAAAApcE/vo42vWz2NHI/s400/m4058_GMR_SDWSD12_0051.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674369655158857666" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Fuente info AC34&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;One point separates first from fourth as light, tricky conditions test America’s Cup crews&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;San Diego, 13/11/2011&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The America’s Cup World Series – San Diego started on Saturday with the opening fleet races of the Port Cities Challenge. Conditions were extremely challenging for the nine race crews, who faced light, shifty and very wet conditions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ust one point separates the top four boats, with Emirates Team New Zealand on top of the fleet after the first day of racing. Artemis Racing is on equal points with the Kiwis, with China Team and ORACLE Racing Coutts just one point back. The Chinese won race two – their first win in the AC World Series.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The light conditions only permitted two of the three scheduled races to be sailed, but both featured plenty of drama, despite the slower speeds. In fact, the fickle winds provided countless opportunities for heroic shifts up the leaderboard in race one, as the race course became a minefield for the tacticians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two teams to benefit late in Saturday’s first race were Artemis Racing and Emirates Team New Zealand, who both shot up the race course in the final moments, coming back from deep in the fleet. The Swedish Artemis Racing won the race with the Kiwis in second place, ahead of ORACLE Racing Spithill – who had led much of the race – and ORACLE Racing Coutts, with new skipper Darren Bundock at the helm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It was tough,” said Kiwi skipper Dean Barker. “The first race we were pretty fortunate to hook into a nice pressure line of wind at the end. It's swings and roundabouts, but if you get the last one right it's a good feeling. In the second one we sailed a much better race.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After waiting for the wind to build, the second race was sailed on a shorter race course. ORACLE Racing Spithill and Team Korea jumped the start line and were penalized, while China Team sailed a flawless race to earn the win - their best finish to date in the America’s Cup World Series.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“That’s our first win,” confirmed China Team skipper Charlie Ogletree. “It’s a great feeling. We’ve been working hard and I think the whole team deserves it, from shore team to management, to everyone. It’s huge. Everyone has been doing double duty, working really hard, so it’s a very positive thing for us.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the weather conditions, local fans braved the rain to gather at the end of Broadway Pier where the race boats ventured in just a few yards from the dock to make their turn around one of the marks of the course. The racing was up close and very personal for spectators on the dock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Port Cities Challenge continues on Sunday with three additional fleet races scheduled. Representatives from the member cities will be aboard the race boats on Sunday. The event culminates with a public prize-giving ceremony at the AC Village following racing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.americascup.com/en/Results/"&gt;Results – Day One – Port Cities Challenge&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-299834463888572527?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/299834463888572527'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/299834463888572527'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/acws-san-diego-dia-1.html' title='ACWS San Diego, día 1'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0SmTDFDHwmQ/Tr9pIyP_38I/AAAAAAAApcE/vo42vWz2NHI/s72-c/m4058_GMR_SDWSD12_0051.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-8266207082185676415</id><published>2011-11-12T19:58:00.008-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-12T20:15:48.621-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='S40'/><title type='text'>Regata Interclubes y S40 en Algarrobo, "hat trick" y campeonato para Pisco Sour un día antes del final</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MIVB8K90WzA/Tr77UP041YI/AAAAAAAApaI/yJ8PzUYHdkw/s1600/Pisco%2BSour%2B3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;

“Extra-vagancia”, de Raúl del Castillo (J-105); y “Quique”, de la Escuela Naval, al mando de Cristóbal del Solar (IRC4).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Algarrobo, noviembre 12 de 2011.- Una jornada redonda tuvo hoy el yate “Pisco Sour”, de Bernardo Matte, timoneado por Pablo Amunátegui, al adjudicarse las tres regatas de la clase Soto 40 en el inicio de las Regata Interclubes, 6ª fecha del Campeonato Nacional VTR Oceánico, el torneo náutico más importante y de mayor convocatoria del país.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Con un poco de frío, pero con viento ideal para la navegación y a la cuadra de la Cofradía Náutica del Pacífico, la tripulación de Amunátegui no largó del todo bien en las dos primeras pruebas, pero se sobrepuso y aventajó a toda la flota, lo que sumado a los resultados del viernes, lo deja con 4 puntos negativos, por delante de “Mitsubishi”, de Horacio Pavez, con 10; y “BCI”, de José Luis Vender, con 12. Más atrás se ubican “Movistar”, de Ramón Eluchans, con 17; y “Celfin Capital”, de Jorge Errázuriz, con 18. Lamentablemente, el yate “Apolonia”, de Jaime Charad, debió retirarse en la primera regata por lesión de uno de sus tripulantes; mientras que en la última prueba del día se registró una pequeña colisión entre los yates “Entel” y “Claro”, de los hermanos Per y Dag von Appen, que marchan 6º y 7º, por fortuna sin daños para sus tripulantes. La clase Soto 40 disputó recorridos barlovento-sotavento de 4 piernas, de 5,2 millas cada uno, con vientos promedio de 12 a 15 nudos del noroeste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pablo Amunátegui alabó el trabajo de la tripulación y la capacidad de sobreponerse a las adversidades. “No tuvimos buenas largadas en las dos primeras regatas. La tercera estuvo mucho mejor, pero la el equipo trabajó muy bien y nuestro táctico, Guillermo Parada, nos llevó por el camino más corto, le apuntó a todo con sus indicaciones”, destacó el timonel ganador.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La serie IRC1-2-3, que agrupa a la flota más numerosa de la competencia, disputó dos barlovento-sotavento de 4 y 6 piernas cada una, de 4,03 y 5,2 millas náuticas, respectivamente, en las que ganaron “Aquiles II”, de Emilio Barayon, y “Corona”, de Rodrigo Oyanedel, respectivamente. Este último quedó como líder provisional, con 3 puntos negativos (2-1), acechado por “Aquiles II”, con 4 (1-3); y por “Quatrero”, de Alfonso Reuter, con 7 (5-2). Les siguen “Beduino III”, de Andrés Hasbún, con 9,5 (3-6,5), y “E-Ratix”, de Fernando Matthews, con 10,5 (4-6,5). Las mismas posiciones se repiten en la clase IRC 3. Cabe destacar que en este grupo se produjeron dos llegadas en empate en tiempo real; esto es, dos yates pasando al mismo tiempo la línea de meta. En el primer recorrido, entre “Atenea IV”, de Jaime Riesco, y “Plan B”, de Antonia González, y en la segunda prueba, “Beduino III” y “E-Ratix”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entre los Beneteau 36.7 el puntero es “Corona”, en calidad de invicto, con 2; escoltado por “Quatrero”, con 4; y “Perla Negra”, de Patricio Mena, con 6, mientras que en los J-105 lidera “Extra-Vagancia”, de Raúl del Castillo, con 2, seguido por “Plan B”, con 5,5; y “Spin Off”, de Náutica Pimulen, con 6.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En la clase IRC 4, el primer lugar es de “Quique”, de la Escuela Naval, al mando de Cristóbal del Solar, con 2, seguido por “Fragata”, también de la Armada, capitaneado por Rodrigo Sepúlveda, y por “Wichita III”, de José Tomás Errázuriz, ambos con 5.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Regata Interclubes concluirá este domingo, a partir del mediodía, con una travesía costera. La Ceremonia de Premiación para todas las categorías se realizará a las 17:30 horas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LqJwMleMjwA/Tr78CMZOE8I/AAAAAAAApbU/5VejgrgRPbo/s1600/Imagen%2B1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Going straight and stealing miles&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opportunity knocked, it was time to take and there are three boats in the Transat Jacques Vabre fleet which have made gains of differing magnitude through being able to sail a more direct route than their opposition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The biggest winners have remained Maitre Jacques who look to have swung the match with Actual for the Multi 50 title back from something close to ‘match point’ to ‘deuce’. The St Malo amateur duo Loics Fequet and Esoffier have come back from a 430 miles deficit on Thursday morning to trail by only 17 miles this evening, and the Maitre Jacques duo are on a direct route to their mark of the course at St Barths making very similar speeds to Actual.&lt;br /&gt;Loic Escoffier said this morning: “I really believed in this option, but I did not think we would claw back that amount of miles on Actual as quickly, for now it has paid off!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kito de Pavant and Yann Reginiau continue their rise with Groupe Bel. They have been able to pull back from the cow’s tail – ninth of nine IMOCA Open 60’s still racing – to get to sixth, up with the herd and poised to challenge for fifth place Banque Populaire with more speed down a more direct course to the IMOCA Open 60’s passage through to the Caribbean at the Dominican Republic. De Pavant said today that anything from sixth to ninth was immaterial to them, all the same and the podium was their target.&lt;br /&gt;And Mike Golding and Bruno Dubois, who also took the southern routing this morning on Gamesa have been rewarded so far with a more solid toehold on third place, gaining on Bureau Vallée which has stuck with the high road, on Macif which they saw on Friday evening, and on Banque Populaire.&lt;br /&gt;For those on this more direct route, there will be a transition zone to break through, light and disorganised breezes as they work from the trade winds generated by the Azores high to those off the Bermuda high which their rivals ahead are planning to ride down to the south.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jean Pierre Dick on the race leading IMOCA Open 60 Virbac Paprec 3 was still on message, repeating the mantra of prudence versus speed, but both he and Alex Thomson sound confident that  they can hold their margin through to a two boat match in the Caribbean. “ We are confident in our lead, we sail well and we are comfortable in our contact with Hugo Boss. Luck might play a part near the finish. And of course many things can happen, including damage to equipment and so on, and we must stay a bit careful. We were surprised by this zone of high pressure last night when the wind decreased from 35 to 2 knots in about 10 minutes. We ended up with no wind to sail, only with the waves and it lasted for almost 4 hours but what is good that the gap remained the same with Hugo Boss.” Said Dick today, confirming they expect to finish in Puerto Limon in around 5-6 days time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In light of his run of misfortunes over the last few years Thomson is savvy enough not to read anything into their second position on the race course just now, even with more than 200 miles in hand over his friend and rival Golding. Thomson paid tribute to his co-skipper Altadil today. The only potential tension on their horizon could be this evening when England take on Spain in a football friendly. Thomson said today their biggest source of stress just now has been their goody bag, sweets, chocolate, jamon, has become contaminated and is a sticky mess. “Obviously being in second place for us is good, very positive, but the really positive experience for us in this race really is in understanding where the boat lies in terms of performance against the other boats and so certainly being able to hang on to the coat tails of Virbac Paprec for the last few days and we have been right in amongst it with the fleet,  we could see where Cheminées Poujoulat lay, we could see where Macif lay, we have a real understanding of where this boat lies, and we have already started working with Farr, the designers, on improvements. So we will have a wash up meeting after this race, see where we go from here, but that is the biggest gain from this race, no matter what, understanding where we lie in the fleet.”  Said Thomson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meantime far to the east the Class40 contenders in the north were already starting to feel the light winds from the fast action Azores high which was spreading rapidly south. Hannah Jenner on 40 Degrees considered today that their best chance of glory was to push west through it into the trades on the other side: “there is a big high pressure and it looks like Solo behind is doing the same as we are trying which is to try and get through the centre of it and get some very nice downwind conditions on the other side of it. Or we can bear off and follow everyone to the south which really would not get us anywhere. We are on a high risk strategy but we are hoping it will work out for us.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quotes:&lt;br /&gt;Alex Thomson (GBR) skipper Hugo Boss (GBR):&lt;br /&gt;“We crossed the area of light winds last night, got into S-SW’ly wind and reached west, to the shift to the right and now sailing in N-NW’ly breeze.We are happy, the clouds have disappeared a bit, the sun will break through when it gets high enough, and things are good.&lt;br /&gt;It certainly feels good to be at the front of the fleet, but we are not counting any chickens. I’ll tell you what it feels like when we get to the end. We have a pretty direct course, one gybe should do us, the breeze will continue to go right all day and we are currently sailing with the J1 and full mian, reaching pretty fast at 17kts. So the wind will go aft, we will put the gennaker up and it will go further aft, get the spinnaker up and then around midnight tonight GMT tonight we will put the gybe in.&lt;br /&gt;It has been great to sail with Guillermo, he has so much experience, he has a lot to say all the time and we both work pretty hard all the time on making the boat go fast, but also making sure we don’t push it and break anything. He’s a strong character and I have enjoyed sailing with him and good fun throughout. He is a good bloke. I am always interested to hear about his experience, he has been around the world eight times, been on the big catamarans, sailed with the Kiwis and the French and I like to prise as many stories as possible out of him as possible. We really only talk about boats and sailing! Obviously being in second place for us is good, very positive, but the really positive experience for us in this race really is in understanding where the boat lies in terms of performance against the other boats and so certainly being able to hang on to the coat tails of Virbac Paprec for the last few days and we have been right in amongst it with the fleet,  we could see where Cheminées Poujoulat lay, we could see where Macif lay, we have a real understanding of where this boat lies, and we have already started working with Farr, the designers, on improvements. So we will have a wash up meeting after this race, see where we go from here, but that is the biggest gain from this race, no matter what, understanding where we lie in the fleet. The guys behind, in terms of distance to go, they are 210 miles behind for Mike Golding and say 230 miles for Banque Populaire. When you look at if they have to follow us then the mileage is greater, they are further away. In a straight line they were 400 miles behind and so the boats that have to go over the top (of the cell) will see the mileage get bigge today.&lt;br /&gt;I see Mike and Kito have turned south, as far as Kito is concerned then he had the choice of following or trying something different. The weather I have just got today he can just about squeeze through but it is not clear. I don’t know it that will work out or not.&lt;br /&gt;As for Mike he is a bit further to the north and he is trying something similar to Kito. The weather we have now that looks a little but more risky, but I don’t think either of them will end up any closer, really. Our biggest problem is that the bag which has all the treats in it, the jamon, tins of tuna, chocolate, sweets, we had a bag of mixed coffee, sugar and milk powder burst about a week ago and so the bag is all sticky and messy and that kind of puts you off going for a bar of chocolate. Guillermo has emptied the bag, washed it, and it has had three washes so far and is still sticky.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hannah Jenner (GBR) skipper 40 Degrees (GBR):&lt;br /&gt;“ We are in a bit of a light breeze at the moment so we are taking the opportunity to clean up the boat and air the sleeping bags. We will get round to cleaning ourselves too. There is a big high pressure and it looks like Solo behind is doing the same as we are trying which is to try and get through the centre of it and get some very nice downwind conditions on the other side of it. Or we can bear off and follow everyone to the south which really would not get us anywhere. We are on a high risk strategy but we are hoping it will work out for us.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JP Dick, skipper Virbac-Paprec 3: “We are confident in our lead, we sail well and we are comfortable in our contact with Hugo Boss. Luck might play a part near the finish. And of course many things can happen, including damage to equipment and so on, and we must stay a bit careful. We were surprised by this zone of high pressure last night when the wind decreased from 35 to 2 knots in about 10 minutes. We ended up with no wind to sail, only with the waves and it lasted for almost 4 hours but what is good that the gap remained the same with Hugo Boss. We take time to look at the seascape of course; Nature is part of our sport. We got the full moon with dolphins. Even if we are focused, we take the time to look at the beauty of this picture show, including this morning, the sun rise with pretty colors and the Atlantic Ocean is wonderful to admire . My current picture: Jeremie is not very far away having breakfast. There are not too many clouds, the sky is blue with little waves on the surface with weed everywhere widespread that we catch on the appendices. We should reach Mona in two days, and after there will be 900 miles to the end, arriving in 5-6 days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kito de Pavant, skipper Groupe Bel:&lt;br /&gt;“We were looking at this southerly option for several days although it might not have been that obvious on the routings. Following the IMOCA cavalcade we were forced on to  the north path. We might be slower than our north rivals tomorrow, but we try a way to get to the podium. We are taking some risks, but they are calculated We came to win, we were wrong on thesoutherly route that we definitely lost out on. We are trying a new option, which would allow us to come back a little bit. But between the 6th and 9th rank, really is immaterial to us. I am no longer very confident in this southern route because it may be very slow tomorrow night, there are two areas with no wind and we will try to sail between the two. That night we were under gennaker, with the pilot, the sea was less bouncy and we took the opportunity to get some rest: I had some lack of sleep. The sky is still grey and it is always stressful when we sail at 20 knots. The water is 26° celsius so the water we get in the face is more pleasant. It will be too hot in a few days, but the sailing conditions are perfect today!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Loïc Escoffier co-skipper Maître Jacques:&lt;br /&gt;“ I really believed in this option, but I did not think we would claw back that amount of miles on Actual as quickly, for now it has paid off!&lt;br /&gt;We will face a small transition zone in front of us this evening or at the beginning of the night, we will have to manage that.&lt;br /&gt;Yves (Le Blévec / Actual) is going to get to some wind. However, we should manage to come back.&lt;br /&gt;Last night, we were sailing under gennaker, full mainsail, with the moon as a floodlight We are sailing between 18 and 26 knots all the time. The rudder is still very noisy. I should have taken some headphones that I put for fishing to cut out the noise!&lt;br /&gt;It's very physical but very good, we came here to enjoy the long legs of pure speed We get on well, the boat goes well, the changes made this year are good, it's an old boat that goes well with two amateurs on board! Even if we are 80 miles behind or more in St Barth, you can count on us, we will not let anything slide away from us!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Standings at 1700hrs CET on Saturday, november 12th,

32&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; - El Equipo hispano-japonés ha sido el claro dominador en una primera jornada muy táctica con constantes cambios de intensidad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barcelona 12 Noviembre: A pesar del escaso viento y con dos horas y media de retraso, el comité de Regatas del Real Club Náutico de Barcelona dirigido por Vicente Céspedes, daba el bocinazo de salida a la prueba inaugural de las Merchbanc Barcelona Winter Series de Melges 32. Los mejores en aprovechas las condiciones de viento ligero fueron el alemán IMMAC de Christian Soyka y el hispano-japonés Team Bros patroneado por Toni Rivas con Manu Weiller a la táctica. A medida que se iba acercando la flota a la boya de barlovento la prueba pasaba a estar liderada por el austriaco Robertíssima que optaba por un bordo extremo a la izquierda, a pesar de ello tanto los alemanes como el Team Bros no cesaban en su empeño y volvían a colocarse en los puestos de cabeza esta vez seguidos de cerca por el Bribón Movistar de Marc de Antonio, tras esto los puestos de cabeza no variarían siendo la victoria para el IMMAC seguido por el Team Bros y el Bribón Movistar que en el último suspiro lograba adelantar al High Life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tras una llamada general daba comienzo la segunda prueba de las Merchbanc Barcelona Winter Series con apenas cinco nudos de intensidad. En la línea de salida Bribón Movistar, IMMAC y High Life se situaban en los puestos de cabeza seguidos muy de cerca por el Team Bros y el Nueva Bahía de Pasaia de Jon Obeso que se estrenaba en la clase. Tras la primera ceñida la prueba volvía a estar liderada por el Robertísima que durante toda la jornada ha decidido navegar de forma muy arriesgada en los extremos del campo de regatas. En el segundo tramo de la prueba la intensidad bajaba hasta los 4 nudos con un Team Bros muy sólido situándose al frente de la manga detrás se situaban Robertisima y Bribón Movistar, puestos que se mantendrían hasta el final de la prueba.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Con la celebración de estas dos mangas el Team Bros de Toni Rivas se sitúa líder de las Merchbanc Barcelona Winter Series seguido por el alemán INMAC cerrando el podium el Bribón Movistar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A partir de mañana a las 11 horas comenzará la segunda jornada de las Merchbanc Barcelona Winter Series de Melges 32 con tres pruebas barlovento - sotavento programadas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acerca de las Merchbanc Barcelona Winter Series:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las Merchbanc Barcelona Winter Series constarán de cuatro series, una por mes, durante los meses de noviembre y diciembre de 2011 y enero y febrero de 2012. Cada serie consistirá de una jornada oficial de entrenamientos el viernes y dos jornadas con regatas oficiales el sábado y el domingo, con un máximo de 6 mangas por serie y un total de 24 pruebas barlovento - sotavento. Las Merchbanc Barcelona Winter Series son la continuación de una temporada muy especial para la clase en España tras la Copa del Rey y del Campeonato del Mundo, ya que se pretende que nuestro país sea uno de los centros neurálgicos de la clase Melges 32 en Europa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acerca de Merchbanc:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merchbanc es un grupo financiero independiente que, desde sus orígenes, se ha especializado en la gestión de patrimonios y en el asesoramiento financiero personalizado tanto a particulares como a empresas, con la finalidad de simplificar y facilitar las decisiones de inversión de sus clientes.

Desde el reporte de las 23:00h de anoche, PUMA le ha arañado 30 millas, Telefónica 33 y CAMPER 63. Los tres mantienen desde ayer una media superior a los 20 nudos de velocidad. Esta mañana, el barco de Cammas apenas supera los 8 nudos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Groupama ha comenzado a alejarse de la costa africana y navega rumbo a Cabo Verde (suroeste) animado por un viento de componente norte en el entorno de los 8 nudos. Sus tres rivales mantienen un ritmo muy superior, empujados por 22 nudos de viento del nordeste que les permite volar por encima de los 20 nudos de velocidad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desde ayer, el más rápido ha sido el CAMPER de Chris Nicholson, que en sólo nueve horas ha reducido su desventaja con el líder en nada menos que 63 millas náuticas, 7 por hora. Semejante ritmo le está permitiendo acercarse también a Telefónica y PUMA, a unas 20 millas de su proa esta mañana. Si continúa esta progresión, pronto estaremos viendo un Match-Race a tres bandas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La previsión para las próximas horas indica que la situación seguirá igual: velocidad para el grupo “offshore” y sufrimiento para Groupama.   Amory Ross, tripulante de comunicación de PUMA, describía anoche las sensaciones a bordo de un Volvo Open 70 a más de 20 nudos: “Tumbado en mi litera, el ruido, la sensación de estar dentro de una de estas cosas… Son todo gritos. 'Santo Dios, estamos volando'. Imagínate tratando de escalar en el interior de un Fórmula 1, pero con los ojos vendados. ¿Sería distinto? En absoluto”.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;También Hamish Hooper, tripulante de comunicación del CAMPER, ha querido explicar lo que siente: “Hoy he pensado que estoy encerrado en un misil rojo de 70 pies rodeado por diez fanáticos en el medio del Atlántico. Tal vez llamarles fanáticos sea un poco exagerado, pero ahora puedo realmente verles operar a tope. Son puros profesionales, seriamente buenos en lo que hacen, entre los mejores del mundo, y eso me reconforta… Mientras el indicador de velocidad supera por momentos los 28 nudos, sus caras cambian: ‘eso es para lo que están hechos estos barcos’, destaca Will Oxley cuando me siento con él en la mesa de navegación viendo las millas bajar tan rápidamente y sin esfuerzo”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Toca bombero lechero, como le llamamos nosotros, que es viento de través”, apunta Pablo Arrarte desde el Telefónica. “Bastante viento, en largo, mojados y rápido, muy rápido, en dirección Sur hacia el ecuador”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parte de posiciones - Día 8 (12 de noviembre, 08:00h)&lt;br /&gt;1.

China Team had a strong day in the two races, posting a win and a second place finish to top the table ahead of Sweden’s Artemis Racing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“San Diego has a reputation for light airs but today was nice, up in the 8-10 knot range,” said China Team skipper Charlie Ogletree. “We’re strong in the light winds as our helmsman, Andreas Hagara, his specialty is light airs. He’s won a world championship in similar conditions so he’s got a good feel in the light. We’re hoping for good results; we need to learn to race at the front, so we’ll be looking to do as well as we can this weekend.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Saturday and Sunday, the racing gets serious, with all nine America’s Cup World Series crews scheduled to race in the Port Cities Challenge. Three fleet races are scheduled each day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Representatives from the member cities will be aboard the race boats on Sunday. The event culminates with a public prize-giving ceremony at the AC Village following racing. The Port Cities Challenge trophy was designed by British artist Richard Vasey, who was inspired by the AC World Series coming to Plymouth in September. He donated the trophy to the local organizers of the San Diego event, who will present it to the winning team on Sunday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following two training days on Monday and Tuesday, the championship portion of the America's Cup World Series - San Diego runs from Wednesday November 16 through Sunday November 20, and includes fleet and match racing, as well as AC500 Speed Trial drag races. The teams earn points from their final ranking in both the fleet and match racing events towards the 2011-2012 America's Cup World Series, currently led by Emirates Team New Zealand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How to follow:&lt;br /&gt;Beginning on the opening weekend (November 12-13) fans can enjoy the show from the America's Cup Village, which features food, merchandise, exhibits and entertainment. The AC Village is housed on North Harbor Drive, between Broadway and Navy Piers. From November 16-20, the AC Village will feature live music each evening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The races of the America's Cup World Series will take place just off Broadway and Navy Piers, within the tight confines of San Diego Bay. Spectators will be able to take advantage of a number of good shore-side viewing points, including a public spectator area at the end of Broadway Pier. In the AC Village there will be live video with expert commentary on the big screen from Wednesday through Sunday.

Acto seguido se celebraron las dos regatas de entreno programadas para hoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La primera prueba de tan solo dos tramos contó con una intensidad de apenas 8 nudos del 205, lo suficiente para que equipos nuevos como el Gunter o Robertíssima  tomasen la medida de todos sus rivales. Tras una buena salida el alemán IMMAC se situaba en primera posición seguido por el Japonés Team Bros  que esta vez cuenta con tripulantes españoles como Toni Rivas, Juan Meseger o Manu Weiller y el británico High Life, posiciones que se mantuvieron de principio a fin tras una empopada sin sorpresas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tras otras dos salidas de entrenamiento, comenzaba la segunda manga que veía como la intensidad bajaba de seis hasta los tres nudos rolando al Este hasta un 160. Esta vez la historia cambiaba y los barcos que optaban por el bordo de la derecha tomaban la iniciativa con el austriaco Robertissima y el Bribón Movistar como protagonistas. En el único tramo de empopada las posiciones se mantuvieron con un Robertíssima muy destacado seguido por el Bribón Movistar de Marc de Antonio que en esta ocasión  cuenta con el vueltamundista Gonzalo Araujo entre sus filas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A partir de mañana a las 11 horas comenzará la competición oficial de las Merchbanc Barcelona Winter Series de Melges 32 con tres pruebas barlovento - sotavento programadas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Declaraciones de Toni Rivas, patrón del Team Bros:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La verdad que el Melges 32 es un barco muy divertido una mezcla entre vela ligera y crucero. La flota está muy igualada así que va a ser una regata divertida, solo espero que sople un poco más de viento”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acerca de las Merchbanc Barcelona Winter Series:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las Merchbanc Barcelona Winter Series constarán de cuatro series, una por mes, durante los meses de noviembre y diciembre de 2011 y enero y febrero de 2012. Cada serie consistirá de una jornada oficial de entrenamientos el viernes y dos jornadas con regatas oficiales el sábado y el domingo, con un máximo de 6 mangas por serie y un total de 24 pruebas barlovento - sotavento. Las Merchbanc Barcelona Winter Series son la continuación de una temporada muy especial para la clase en España tras la Copa del Rey y del Campeonato del Mundo, ya que se pretende que nuestro país sea uno de los centros neurálgicos de la clase Melges 32 en Europa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acerca de Merchbanc:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merchbanc es un grupo financiero independiente que, desde sus orígenes, se ha especializado en la gestión de patrimonios y en el asesoramiento financiero personalizado tanto a particulares como a empresas, con la finalidad de simplificar y facilitar las decisiones de inversión de sus clientes.

La entrega de premios se llevará a cabo el domingo, a las 16:00 horas, en la Plaza de Capitanía de la Marina. Para la mayoría de los participantes esta será su última competición antes del próximo Campeonato del Mundo, que se celebrará en diciembre en Nueva Zelanda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Previamente a esta regata y para ir calentando motores, el viernes se disputará una prueba en modalidad ‘Team Racing’ entre todos los participantes, para la que se dividirá a los niños en 11 equipos distintos, enfrentándose todos entre sí en varias rondas hasta que solo queden dos conjuntos, de los que saldrá el vencedor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Han sido cinco jornadas de intensos entrenamientos y minuciosas sesiones teóricas con el fin de mejorar la técnica y táctica en competición, en las que los jóvenes regatistas, procedentes de distintas partes del mundo, han compartido experiencias y conocimientos, al tiempo que disfrutaban de las excelencias de la isla de los volcanes,  con visitas al Parque Nacional de Timanfaya, al característico paisaje vinícola de La Geria o a la playa de Famara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entre estos deportistas, algunos de muy corta edad, sobresalen nombres propios como el del canario Luis Cabrera, actual campeón de Europa de la clase Optimist; el de Odile Van Aanholt, de Antillas Holandesas, campeona del mundo sub 12; así como los de Marvin Frisch, número uno de Alemania los dos últimos años; o Peter Janezc, campeón de Eslovenia. Todos ellos han destacado el buen hacer de los monitores, los argentinos Gonzalo Pollitzer, Sebastián Peri Brusa, Manuel Resano y Diego Blatt, así como del preparador del equipo nacional danés, Dennis Paaske.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-1083945126594687063?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/1083945126594687063'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/1083945126594687063'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/finaliza-el-ii-clinic-de-optimist-de.html' title='Finaliza el II Clinic de Optimist de Marina Rubicón'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q5yhM18pj8M/Tr3iU6_wRgI/AAAAAAAApYo/IGFcoTYyrCE/s72-c/Grupo%2Ben%2BFamara.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-8167518373192928489</id><published>2011-11-12T00:00:00.001-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-12T00:02:52.651-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><title type='text'>Regata Oregon Scientific del Circuito TOM28MAX</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2iJ9Le9XT34/Tr3hnP8r4yI/AAAAAAAApYc/PlCBlQDGdKA/s1600/Regata_OregonScientific_2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2iJ9Le9XT34/Tr3hnP8r4yI/AAAAAAAApYc/PlCBlQDGdKA/s400/Regata_OregonScientific_2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673939169968907042" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Fuente info Corporate Sailing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Se disputa este fin de semana la Regata OREGON SCIENTIFIC, tercera prueba puntuable del I Circuito TOM28MAX R.C.M.

Más atrás se ubicaron “Claro”, de Dag von Appen, y “BCI”, de José Luis Vender.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En el segundo recorrido, en tanto, el vencedor fue “Pisco Sour”, el mismo que en el invierno ganó la Semana de Ilhabela, superando a “Mitsubishi” y a “Entel”, de Per von Appen. Les siguieron “Celfin Capital”, de Jorge Errázuriz, y “Movistar”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De esta forma, “Pisco Sour” y “Mitsubishi” sumaron ambos 3 puntos negativos. Como además tenían los mismos parciales (1-2 y 2-1, respectivamente), hubo que recurrir al segundo criterio de desempate, que favorece al yate con el mejor resultado en la última prueba disputada, lo que dejó al barco de Matte con el primer lugar provisional, pero con la amenaza latente de su rival.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tercero en el acumulado quedó “Movistar”, con 8, seguido por tres embarcaciones con 10 unidades: “Entel” (7-3), “Celfin Capital” (6-4) y “Claro” (4-6), en una clara muestra de la estrecha lucha en esta categoría y anticipando una dura competencia para las dos jornadas que siguen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mañana comienza la Regata Interclubes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El sábado y domingo, los Soto 40 se unirán a las restantes divisiones del torneo. Esto es: IRC1, IRC2, IRC3, IRC4, IRC Clásicos, Costeros y Trailereables, J-105 y Beneteau 36.7, para completar la 6ª fecha del Nacional que coincidirá con la Regata Interclubes, donde todos podrán aportar puntos para sus puertos base. Mañana, la partida está prevista para las 12:30 horas. El domingo, si las condiciones lo permiten, la señal de atención se dará al mediodía.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La fecha será válida, además, como segundo de los cuatro eventos que componen el Gran Prix VTR Oceánico, que comenzó en octubre con la Regata Off Valparaíso, continuará en enero próximo con la Regata Chiloé y concluirá en marzo con la Copa C.N.O.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En el mismo evento navegarán, en canchas paralelas, veleros de las divisiones Optimist (Damas y Varones), Monotipos (Sunfish, Laser Radial, Laser Standard, Snipe, Pirata Clásico, Pirata Standard, 420, 470, Lightning y Catamarán) y J-24, por lo que se espera la participación de más de un centenar de embarcaciones en una de las fiestas náuticas más tradicionales del país.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Ceremonia de Premiación para todas las categorías se realizará el domingo 13, a partir de las 17:30 horas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-49SIH8Jc8R4/Tr2sX4cRZiI/AAAAAAAApYQ/DO27DmGwrpo/s1600/Imagen%2B1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 162px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-49SIH8Jc8R4/Tr2sX4cRZiI/AAAAAAAApYQ/DO27DmGwrpo/s400/Imagen%2B1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673880631844628002" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-1857946452835327782?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/1857946452835327782'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/1857946452835327782'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/s40-en-algarrobo-mitsubishi-y-pisco.html' title='S40 en Algarrobo, Mitsubishi y Pisco Sour primeros líderes'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bBXj5qB7QOY/Tr2r5SNvIuI/AAAAAAAApYA/sBMJ-bMdFe8/s72-c/PISCO%2BSOUR.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-4038975260394134217</id><published>2011-11-11T20:08:00.002-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-11T20:11:34.278-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Volvo Ocean Race'/><title type='text'>VOR, noticias de la flota</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lfvI3YjlgPw/Tr2rhHWkx3I/AAAAAAAApXs/0rNCWhmC1uQ/s1600/VolvoOceanRace_vor111111_hooper_2487.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 333px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lfvI3YjlgPw/Tr2rhHWkx3I/AAAAAAAApXs/0rNCWhmC1uQ/s400/VolvoOceanRace_vor111111_hooper_2487.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673879690954458994" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Fuente info VOR&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11 de noviembre de 2011, 14:00h (13:00h UTC) - Etapa 1, Día 7 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;EL GRUPO PERSEGUIDOR SE DISPONE PARA EL ASALTO. AZZAM SE RETIRA DE LA ETAPA 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Groupama continúa en cabeza, pero Telefónica, PUMA y CAMPER comienzan a acelerar por la llegada de un frente con viento favorable, y sus proas apuntan por fin hacia el sur. Desde el Mediterráneo, Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing anunciaba esta mañana su retirada de la Etapa 1. Se reincorporará en Ciudad del Cabo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Los tres barcos que avanzan por mar abierto han sufrido buena parte de la pasada noche para avanzar, pero en el reporte de posiciones de las 14:00h, Telefónica y PUMA navegan de nuevo a buen ritmo, animados por los primeros coletazos de un frente que debería acompañarles durante las próximas horas. CAMPER navega casi 100 millas por detrás, y todavía no ha recibido el frente que está haciendo que sus dos rivales cojan velocidad.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Triángulo africano” por proa&lt;br /&gt;600 millas náuticas al este del trío “offshore”, y a 40 millas de tierra, Groupama conserva el liderato, sólido en cuanto a distancia (está 237,2 millas más cerca de destino que su inmediato perseguidor, Telefónica, al que ha encajado 100 millas en las últimas 24 horas), pero con la incertidumbre de lo que le espera por proa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De acuerdo con Gonzalo Infante, meteorólogo de la Volvo Ocean Race, el barco de Franck Cammas tendrá que negociar en las próximas horas el conocido como “triángulo africano”, una zona situada en el extremo este de los temidos Doldrums en la que el viento suele ser escaso o nulo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La norma dice que cuanto más al oeste se alcancen los Doldrums, más rápidamente se podrá cruzar esta zona de encalmadas. Si se cumple, Telefónica, PUMA y CAMPER cuentan con ventaja a medio plazo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Azzam no completará la Etapa 1&lt;br /&gt;La mala noticia de la jornada llegaba desde el Mediterráneo. A media mañana, Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing anunciaba oficialmente su retirada de la Etapa 1. Azzam navega ya hacia Lisboa para ser embarcado en un carguero rumbo a Ciudad del Cabo, donde se le espera alrededor del 28 de noviembre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El plan del equipo liderado por Ian Walker es someter el barco a una exhaustiva revisión antes de reincorporarse a la competición en la segunda in-port de la Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12, el próximo 10 de diciembre.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En opinión del patrón británico: “Necesitamos tiempo para realizar modificaciones a nuestro sistema de aparejo, y la única forma de ganar tiempo es viajar a Ciudad del Cabo en carguero. Esta ha sido una de las decisiones más difíciles de mi vida, pero debo considerar no sólo la seguridad de la tripulación, sino los intereses del proyecto a largo plazo”.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todo primeros&lt;br /&gt;El dato curioso lo aportaba esta mañana Iker Martínez, patrón del Telefónica, que reflexionaba sobre la fecha de esta séptima jornada de competición de la Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12, día en que su compañero de tripulación Pablo “Patán” Arrarte cumple 31 años: “¡Caray! Es el día 11, del mes 11, del año 11, y son las 11:00h de la mañana… Qué coincidencia, todo primeros. ¡Quién los pillara para la regata!”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parte de posiciones - Día 7 (11 de noviembre, 14:00h)&lt;br /&gt;1. Groupama sailing team (Franck Cammas), 5.215,2 Nm* de Ciudad del Cabo   &lt;br /&gt;2. Team Telefónica (Iker Martínez), +237,2&lt;br /&gt;3. PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG (Ken Read), +245,6 &lt;br /&gt;4. CAMPER con Emirates Team New Zealand (Chris Nicholson), +334,9 &lt;br /&gt;5. Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing (Ian Walker), retirado de la Etapa 1&lt;br /&gt; 5. Team Sanya (Mike Sanderson), retirado de la Etapa 1&lt;br /&gt; (* 1 Nm, milla náutica = 1,852 km)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Frases desde a bordo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iker Martínez, patrón de Team Telefónica:&lt;br /&gt;“Mañana esperamos empezar a recuperar millas al Groupama. Hemos hecho una gran inversión pensando en el futuro, y ahora esperamos poder disfrutar de mejores vientos y rumbos que el equipo francés para llegar hasta Fernando de Noronha”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hamish Pepper, tripulante de comunicación de CAMPER con Emirates Team New Zealand: &lt;br /&gt;“Me siento como un niño en el asiento trasero del coche preguntando una y otra vez: ‘¿vamos a virar ya?... ¿vamos a virar ya?’. La frustración ha regresado. Volvemos a estar en un pozo con poco viento, y forzados a seguir al oeste un poco más. Todavía falta mucho trabajo por hacer, muchas millas por recuperar, y todavía un campo de minas de viento por negociar”.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yann Riou, tripulante de comunicación de Groupama sailing team:&lt;br /&gt;“Sabemos que nos espera una jornada complicada, con poco viento. Esta transición será crucial para los próximos acontecimientos. Por otro lado, nuestros rivales alcanzarán el sistema que estaban esperando. La clasificación puede cambiar totalmente. Veremos cómo y durante cuánto tiempo”.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Amory Ross, tripulante de comunicación de PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG:&lt;br /&gt;“Seguimos apuntando al 240º. Tengo la sensación de estar ganando oeste desde que salimos de Alicante. Ciudad del Cabo está casi 90 grados a nuestra izquierda. Simplemente, parece que no podemos llegar allí desde donde estamos”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Ian Walker, patrón de Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing:&lt;br /&gt;“Estamos en la primera etapa de una larga regata, y con esta decisión y con mucho trabajo podremos estar listos para la Etapa 2. Estoy particularmente triste porque esta es mi etapa favorita, y toda la tripulación tenía muchas ganas de realizarla. Les deseo buenos vientos a todos los equipos que permanecen en regata. Estaremos en Ciudad del Cabo para recibirles”.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-4038975260394134217?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/4038975260394134217'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/4038975260394134217'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/vor-noticias-de-la-flota.html' title='VOR, noticias de la flota'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lfvI3YjlgPw/Tr2rhHWkx3I/AAAAAAAApXs/0rNCWhmC1uQ/s72-c/VolvoOceanRace_vor111111_hooper_2487.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-6339441323537075965</id><published>2011-11-11T20:03:00.004-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-11T20:08:05.859-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><title type='text'>TJV día 9</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IeULUeA94tI/Tr2qu5jn_3I/AAAAAAAApXg/0jHwwNfD9wk/s1600/AlexThomson%25C2%25A9HugoBoss.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IeULUeA94tI/Tr2qu5jn_3I/AAAAAAAApXg/0jHwwNfD9wk/s400/AlexThomson%25C2%25A9HugoBoss.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673878828257640306" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Alex Thomson © Hugo Boss&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MMGBMfltedc/Tr2qXYVwWfI/AAAAAAAApXU/4SHZcVOBTaA/s1600/%25C2%25A9ForcaAereaPortuguesa.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MMGBMfltedc/Tr2qXYVwWfI/AAAAAAAApXU/4SHZcVOBTaA/s400/%25C2%25A9ForcaAereaPortuguesa.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673878424204106226" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Foto copyright Cheminées Poujoulat © Virbac-Paprec 3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Fuente info TJV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Podium places at stake&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sailing with co-skipper Jérémie Beyou on Virbac-Paprec 3, race leader Jean-Pierre Dick knows that the strategy that they and second placed Alex Thomson and Guillermo Altadill on Hugo Boss have followed has the hallmarks of  a possible victory, but the double winner of the Barcelona World Race and the twice victor in this Transat Jacques Vabre, was pressing for every fast mile today, knowing full well that final days in the Caribbean still have the potential for pitfalls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With water sluicing the deck, fully powered under maximum gennaker area, Dick and Beyou were – like those who are valiantly pursuing them over 300 miles behind – swapping helm time regularly, enjoying the adrenalin rush of keeping the boat close to the edge knowing that they have a small slow down ahead. After that, Dick said today, they should have a direct route under northerly breezes which they should get to first:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“ We have a little ridge to get through but it will not be as bad for us as the boats to the south. There will always be wind, then we get a northerly which will pick up and get us down to Santo Domingo under spinnaker which is interesting for us and should be good.” Dick, who has sailed more miles with his IMOCA Open 60 than any other skipper n the race including his winter circumnavigation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“ The thing is that there are so many random possibilities towards the end of a race like this, and so you have to keep pushing for every mile. But we try to save the boat and keep it in good condition. Towards Costa Rica there are big squalls, a possible lottery aspect that you have to factor in.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alex Thomson’s mojo seems to be re-booted.&lt;br /&gt;His partnership with Barcelona’s Guillermo Altadil has seen them pushing relentlessly to keep pace with the newer generation VPLP-Verdier design, and the British-Spanish duo were still only 43.3 miles off the pace set by Virbac-Paprec 3. Many miles can be lost and gained on the final nights closing to Costa Rica, and the Hugo Boss duo will know they perhaps don’t have the firepower to overhaul the French duo on speed, but if they can stay in Virbac-Paprec 3’s slipstream an opportunity might come knocking nearer the final days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The battle for third is all consuming. Incumbent through today has been Mike Golding and Bruno Dubois again on Gamesa, but they appear to have fallen prey to the advance of poster boys François Gabart and Seb Col on Macif.  On the afternoon’s 1600hrs UTC poll Macif had the tiniest of margins, arcing gently NW, while Gamesa has been gybing downwind. The two were on converging course, some seven miles apart on the water. And Armel Le Cléac'h, the Jackal, on Banque Populaire with Chris Pratt is in the running too, some 20 miles behind, also on a NW trajectory to avoid the zone of light winds ahead.&lt;br /&gt;Aboard Safran today,Yann Eliès admitted that their best hope as it stands, is third.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Multi 50 duel, Actual has first place locked down but that was not stopping the two Loïc’s Fequet and Escoffier on Maitre Jacques from trying a different option just so they are not simply following in the tracks of Yves Le Blevec and Sam Manuard on the leading Multi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Class 40 Aquarelle.com reign supreme, adding 37 miles to their lead since the same time yesterday. Hannah Jenner and Jesse Naimark-Rowse on 40 Degrees have been going well in the trade winds, losing slightly to their rivals to the south Groupe Picoty, who are eight miles ahead in third.&lt;br /&gt;Aboard Gust Buster, Anna-Maria Renken admitted today that she and her rookie co-skipper Slovenian Jacika Jesih were relieved to have emerged from the worst of the storms now which had seen them with 50kts and big seas:&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately news cam later today that the two girls are reported to be heading for&lt;br /&gt;Ponta Delgada on the Azores island of Sao Miguel in the Azores to try and repair a damaged rudder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;News of some of the retirements is positive. Off the Breton coast the fishing boat ‘Agrion has Initiatives Alex Olivier in tow and a delicate towing operation for Cheminées Poujoulat, making around 1.5kts, is hoped to conclude in the Azores on Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quotes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugh Piggin (NZL) co-skipper 11th Hour Racing (USA):&lt;br /&gt;“We are reaching along now, we have some breeze, we are right out of the worst of it and so things are pretty good. It is still overcast.&lt;br /&gt;Last night was good we had a pretty gentle time, we had the Code Zero up for most of the night which was good.  We were catching up on sleep so we are now well rested and since noon today we have had breeze of up to 25kts, we have taken the Code Zero down and we are just reaching along. It is good, stable and we are going well with a good routine.&lt;br /&gt;For the first seven days we were pretty tired, we are feeling good. We are OK with our position in the race, we are a little further south than we would like to be, we got forced south by all those fronts coming through probably a little more than what would have been ideal, but there is a lot of race to go, and we are looking forwards to pushing the boat pretty hard.&lt;br /&gt;The boat has been pretty good, we have had no breakages at all in the first week. We were pretty careful with all those fronts, not to pushing too hard.&lt;br /&gt;“The rocket is going well. We have the number two batch just starting to germinate now, it is going well.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sebastien Col, co-skipper Macif:&lt;br /&gt;“ Everything is going well and we’re having lots of fun. We are a bit put out by the high pressure ridge passage but it is motivating to come back at the fleet leaders and we manage to have some good speeds for the past two days. I hope they are scared of us ! It's sunny. The night has a full moon, everything comes together nicely to attack the leaders!&lt;br /&gt;We could spend hours at the helm, but we are being careful with Francois, we swap over often to keep up the speed.&lt;br /&gt;We must sail as fast as we can, there has been no tactical options for the past two days, and we must hang in to put pressure on the guys in front, and drop the guys behind, even if it is not that easy with boats like Safran or Groupe Bel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Loic Fequet, skipper Maitre Jacques:&lt;br /&gt;Since yesterday we have been sailing at 20 knots and it's interesting!&lt;br /&gt;Everything hums the whole the time, and the daggerboard and rudder make some noise. We take off on every wave and so we have to hold on well to stand up inside the boat. We change every hour on the helm to keep the speed up.&lt;br /&gt;We will try to keep this pace until tomorrow as it will calm down when we get closer to the the West Indies.  We won’t do the same as our rival we'll certainly go south pretty soon. Many things will happen in the coming three days, we had our router, Jean-Yves Bernot. We leave him to devise us a path in the depression to pass St. Barth. We are quite eager to jibe, it's been 24 hours we are sailing on the same side and you start having back pain. Our helm seats are under review.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Damien Seguin skipper ERDF Des Pieds et des Mains:&lt;br /&gt;“It's going very well today! We are sailing under pretty cool conditions, making speeds which are regularly above 15 knots. The boat and crew are happy.&lt;br /&gt;We are under gennaker, very tight to the wind, the sea is still quite unsettled and disorderly. We take turn to try to establish a speed record at the helm, it's pretty good fun.&lt;br /&gt;We are attacking, and if we can manage to get close to aquarelle.com we will have done well. We never stop stoking the engine. Watches are fun as we both want to spend the max of time at the helm. It's so fun to helm the boat right now! There is a deal between us, "If I keep the helm for a bit longer I’ll make dinner tonight"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Standings at 1700hrs CET on Friday, november 11th, 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing se retira de la Etapa 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing ha anunciado esta mañana su retirada oficial de la Etapa 1 de la Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12. Se dirige a Lisboa para subir en un carguero y poner rumbo a Ciudad del Cabo, donde se reincorporará a la competición.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta decisión reduce a cuatro el número de barcos participantes en la primera etapa de la Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12, de 6.500 millas náuticas entre Alicante y el puerto sudafricano de Ciudad del Cabo. Team Sanya anunció su retirada el pasado lunes tras sufrir daños en su casco el domingo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En palabras del portavoz Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing: “A pesar de los heroicos esfuerzos realizados por el equipo de tierra para conseguir que el Azzam se reincorporara a la competición tras los daños sufridos la pasada semana en duras condiciones de viento y mar, consideramos que el traslado a Ciudad del Cabo nos permitirá disponer de más tiempo para prepararnos de cara a la Etapa 2, especialmente considerando las condiciones de ausencia de viento que tenemos en el Mediterráneo”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ni el palo ni el aparejo del Azzam están comprometidos, la decisión es puramente por una cuestión de tiempo”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing navegará hacia Lisboa, donde tiene prevista su llegada el sábado por la tarde. Desde allí, Azzam será transportado por barco a Ciudad del Cabo, donde llegará alrededor del 28 de noviembre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta decisión brindará al equipo tiempo suficiente para asegurarse de que tanto el barco como el equipo están completamente preparados para participar en la regata in-port de Ciudad del Cano, el próximo 10 de diciembre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing está rotundamente comprometido con su regreso a la competición en Ciudad del Cabo”, destaca el portavoz del equipo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Seis días de esfuerzo ininterrumpido&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El equipo de tierra de Abu Dhabi trabajó sin descanso para reemplazar el mástil roto en tres partes el pasado sábado, alrededor de seis horas después del inicio de la Etapa 1, cuando el barco colisionó con una enorme ola mientras navegaba por el Mediterráneo rumbo a Gibraltar. El barco regresaba a Alicante el domingo por la mañana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En palabras del patrón Ian Walker: "Desde que perdimos el palo poco después de la salida del sábado, nuestro equipo y Future Masts trabajaron sin descanso para preparar nuestro palo de repuesto y examinar las causas que provocaron la rotura del mástil original. Necesitamos tiempo para realizar modificaciones a nuestro sistema de aparejo, y la única forma de ganar tiempo es viajar a Ciudad del Cabo en carguero. Esta ha sido una de las decisiones más difíciles de mi vida, pero debo considerar no sólo la seguridad de la tripulación, sino los intereses del proyecto a largo plazo”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Estamos en la primera etapa de una larga regata, y con esta decisión y con mucho trabajo podremos estar listo para la Etapa 2. Estoy particularmente triste porque esta es mi etapa favorita, y toda la tripulación estaba deseando realizarla. Les deseo buenos vientos a todos los equipos que permanecen en regata. Estaremos en Ciudad del Cabo para recibirlos”, concluye el doble medallista olímpico.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-1984346224868561053?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/1984346224868561053'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/1984346224868561053'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/vor-sorpresivamente-abu-dhabi-se-retira.html' title='VOR, sorpresivamente Abu Dhabi se retira de la primer etapa'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b6I2087TLoI/Tr0bLqwZVKI/AAAAAAAApXI/C7jIW6fG-9I/s72-c/m5996_crop18_608x404_13208604090B32.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-8154292400448885381</id><published>2011-11-10T14:40:00.003-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-10T14:44:55.389-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='S40'/><title type='text'>Fecha del Nacional VTR Oceánico y Regata Interclubes en Algarrobo, Chile</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PoO-GjyJuKo/TrwNij82InI/AAAAAAAApW8/QuuipyMGwaY/s1600/Soto40.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PoO-GjyJuKo/TrwNij82InI/AAAAAAAApW8/QuuipyMGwaY/s400/Soto40.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673424517997142642" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Foto copyright RODRIGO FERNÁNDEZ / C.N.O.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Fuente info Silvana González Mesina&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Veleros Soto 40 abren la 6ª fecha del Nacional VTR Oceánico y preparan Regata Interclubes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-  Embarcaciones consideradas la Fórmula Uno de la vela sudamericana, competirán este viernes en la Cofradía Náutica del Pacífico, en Algarrobo, donde el sábado y domingo se unirán a numerosas clases para definir a la mejor institución náutica del país.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;- El evento será el segundo de los cuatro válidos por el Grand Prix VTR Oceánico 2011-2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- Las actividades oficiales comenzarán esta misma tarde en el balneario de la V Región.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Santiago, noviembre de 2011.- Con una jornada protagonizada exclusivamente por los veleros de la clase Soto 40 se iniciará este viernes la 6ª fecha del Campeonato Nacional VTR Oceánico, el torneo náutico más importante y de mayor convocatoria del país, que el sábado y domingo se unirá al resto de la flota de vela mayor y a otras clases náuticas en la disputa de la tradicional Regata Interclubes, que organiza anualmente la Cofradía Náutica del Pacífico y que promete reunir a más de un centenar de embarcaciones en la bahía de Algarrobo.&lt;br /&gt;Los yates S40, considerados la Fórmula Uno de la vela sudamericana, se reunirán por segunda vez en esta temporada, congregando a más de un centenar de destacados navegantes nacionales y extranjeros, los que iniciarán actividades este mismo jueves, a las 15:30 horas, con el proceso de inscripción y pesaje de las tripulaciones.

Welcome, Ian!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El Groupama parece escaparse definitivamente y ha amanecido frente a la costa de Fuerteventura. Durante la noche le ha encajado nada menos que 66 millas a su inmediato perseguidor, el Telefónica. En el Mediterráneo, Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing se reincorporaba a la competición a las 03:16h.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En la madrugada del pasado lunes, Franck Cammas sorprendía a sus rivales poniendo proa hacia la costa de Marruecos nada más entrar en el Atlántico, mientras Telefónica, PUMA y CAMPER elegían salir a mar abierto. Una apuesta que provocó muchos comentarios, pero que a medida que pasaban las horas y los días comenzó a evolucionar de arriesgada a brillante. Ayer, Groupama se despedía del sol emparejado con Telefónica en la ptovisional de la etapa, aunque a 450 millas náuticas de distancia lateral. El amanecer de la sexta jornada de competición lo sitúa 87,1 millas náuticas por delante de su inmediato perseguidor. De momento, acierto absoluto de Cammas, que navega a 12,9 nudos entre Fuerteventura y Marruecos.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mar adentro, sus rivales han sufrido esta noche. Las velocidades de sus Volvo Open 70 caían hasta el entorno de los 5 nudos en el reporte de las 5:00h de la madrugada, y tocaba variar el rumbo para buscar el extremo de un frente situado en las Azores. Las proas de Telefónica, PUMA y CAMPER apuntan al noroeste, y parece que tendrán que seguir ganando oeste para no perder velocidad. En las próximas horas, todo indica que Groupama seguirá encajándoles dolorosas millas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero la mejor noticia de esta noche llegaba desde el Mediterráneo. El Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing llegaba a las 03:16h de la madrugada al punto donde había roto su palo el sábado por la tarde. Apagar motor, izar velas, y a correr. El barco de Ian Walker regresaba a la competición de la Etapa 1. En el reporte de las 08:00h, navega a 8,5 nudos y se encuentra a 818,5 millas náuticas del líder. A 644,7 de CAMPER. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yann Riou, tripulante de comunicación de Groupama, avisaba esta noche de que su situación puede cambiar en cualquier momento: “El último modelo (de ruta) no parece muy bueno, porque hay una zona de calma en los alisios, en el sur. En pocas horas tendremos que tomar una decisión clave para nuestra regata. Entretanto, seguimos centrados, asegurándonos de que el barco sigue moviéndose y esperando el próximo parte meteorológico”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Habrá que permanecer atentos al Tracker…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Parte de posiciones - Día 6 (10 de noviembre, 08:00h)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.

Hoy se esperan vientos más fuertes, aunque los catamaranes AC45 de vela rígida o ala son capaces de navegar en todas las condiciones, generar velocidades increíbles y ofrecer unas imágenes espectaculares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entre los cinco equipos que salieron a entrenar ayer, estaba el francés Energy Team, con Yann Guichard como nuevo patrón y timonel en San Diego. Las sesiones de entrenamiento esta semana son fundamentales para crear una conexión entre él y su tripulación.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Me siento más y más cómodo. Después de todo, es un barco, un multicasco y conozco los multicascos muy bien. Es más impresionante con el ala [la vela rígida], pero como tenemos pocos días aquí es bueno que salgamos,” dijo Guichard. “Es un campo de regatas bastante pequeño, con nueve barcos compitiendo, va a ser un desafío. Durante el primer fin de semana, habrá un sistema de bajas presiones así que podría haber mucho viento. Vamos a entrenar mucho para estar preparados.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El catamarán AC45 del equipo español Green Comm está casi listo para comenzar a navegar tras varios días de intensas reparaciones. El español Javier de la Plaza también explicó que querían salir a navegar lo antes posible: “La mayoría de los tripulantes llegamos el lunes por la noche y estamos trabajando a tope para tener el barco listo como muy tarde en un par de días.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La competición en San Diego comienza con el Port Cities Challenge el sábado y domingo (el 12 y 13 de noviembre). Representantes de las ciudades participantes saldrán a bordo de los barcos de regatas el domingo. El evento culmina con una ceremonia de entrega de premios pública en el AC Village tras la regata.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La parte del campeonato de la America's Cup World Series - San Diego va desde el miércoles 16 de noviembre hasta el domingo 20, e incluye pruebas de flota y de match race (uno contra uno), así como el AC500 Speed Trial, una prueba de velocidad sobre 500 metros. Los equipos ganan puntos para la clasificación final de la 2011-2012 America's Cup World Series tanto en la competición de flota (todos contra todos) como en el match race (uno contra uno).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La retransmisión de video en directo tendrá lugar entre el 16 y el 20 de noviembre en el canal America's Cup YouTube .Y, por primera vez, habrá retransmisión en directo a móviles a través de canal de YouTube de la America’s Cup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comenzando con el fin de semana inaugural, los aficionados podrán disfrutar del espectáculo desde el America’s Cup Village, que cuenta con puestos de comida y bebida, de venta de productos, exposiciones y entretenimiento. El AC Village está ubicado en North Harbor Drive, entre los muelles de Broadway y Navy. Desde el 16 de noviembre habrá actuaciones musicales cada noche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las regatas de la America’s Cup World Series tendrán lugar justo en frente de esos muelles, dentro de la bahía de San Diego. Los espectadores podrán aprovechar un buen número de puntos desde los que posicionarse para ver las pruebas, incluyendo una zona pública para los espectadores al final de Broadway Pier. En el AC Village habrá retransmisión de video en directo con comentarios de expertos en la gran pantalla desde el miércoles hasta el domingo. Para entrar en AC Village se propone un donativo de $10 para ayudar los esfuerzos del evento de conservación de los océanos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Con el comienzo de la regata solo dos días, los regatistas, la ciudad y el Puerto de San Diego están ya deseando que comience la competición.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“La bahía de San Diego ha demostrado ser una sede perfecta para este tipo de regatas,” dijo el Presidente de la Junta de Comisionados del Puerto, Scott Peters. “El Port Cities Challenge es una celebración de la comunidad y la manera perfecta de animar a los residentes del Condado de San Diego a que vengan a la costa, y alienten a sus equipos favoritos durante la competición.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La competición de la America's Cup World Series - San Diego comenzará con la señal de atención a la 1:05pm cada día de regatas (lunes y martes no hay pruebas).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-5463634806419706529?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/5463634806419706529'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/5463634806419706529'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/acws-san-diego-primeros-entrenamientos.html' title='ACWS San Diego, primeros entrenamientos'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z-7eJU7hSTw/Trs6tLmnIsI/AAAAAAAApWk/Zgic4iglrM4/s72-c/GMR_SDWSD7_0860.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-5625614775465776611</id><published>2011-11-09T19:56:00.002-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-09T19:59:01.726-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><title type='text'>TJV día 7</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2cjNonmzlik/TrsFmk6WyBI/AAAAAAAApWA/s2w1sNwjcIA/s1600/6311441113_4ea112a938_o.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2cjNonmzlik/TrsFmk6WyBI/AAAAAAAApWA/s2w1sNwjcIA/s400/6311441113_4ea112a938_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673134315904878610" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Bureau Vallée  © Alexis Courcoux&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Fuente info TJV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Life in a day&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of the profit was still being banked by the Transat Jacques Vabre’s leading duo in the IMOCA Open 60 class during Wednesday afternoon, one week into the passage from Le Havre to Puerto Limon, Costa Rica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After more than two thousand miles of racing and successive vicious storm, Virbac-Paprec 3 of twice Transat Jacques Vabre class winner Jean Pierre Dick and Hugo Boss of Alex Thomson were this afternoon separated by less than three miles, or just over 15 minutes as they sought to extend their advantage as much as possible over the best of the pack which is some 350 miles to their south east, Banque Populaire. The current contrast with the stormy conditions which have prevailed virtually since leaving the start at 1302hrs last Wednesday could not be more stark, for that five ‘sudists’ especially. As they try to escape the southern edge of the high pressure zone which has left Banque Populaire, Macif, Safran and Groupe Bel with scarcely any breeze.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the nervous tension of big winds and confused seas, a matter of 24 hours later,  is replaced by the nervous tension of being rooted to the ocean, scarcely moving while the opposition away to the north is making between 12 and 14 knots of boat speed. The slight saving grace of the light winds has been a chance to re-group, repair and recuperate. Although they are in the north of this pack by some 150 miles Mike Golding and Bruno Dubois had also slowed today and took advantage of the light airs to climb the mast of Gamesa twice to replace the vanes which transmit their wind data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Macif, having made just 53 miles in 24 hours, François Gabart  remarked wryly that he had made two cups of tea today, two more than he had managed to make in the last week, while Christopher Pratt on third placed Banque Populaire was down to shorts and crocs as summer, south of the Azores, finally turned up for the IMOCA Open 60 fleet.&lt;br /&gt;Whether Virbac-Paprec 3 and Hugo Boss will hold on to their lead seems a wide open question. Those in the south were all unclear today as to when they could or would escape into the E’ly trade winds to their south. Virbac-Paprec 3 had 18.8 miles on the British-Spanish duo of Thomson and Guillermo Altadill, who in turn had a cushion of 165 miles or so on Banque Populaire. Gamesa is up to fourth place today and was still making small miles on Armel Le Cléac'h and Christopher Pratt this afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Class 40 Aquarelle.com hold a steady 94 miles ahead of second placed ERDF des pieds et des mains while the main body of the fleet still had one final cold front to pass. American attorney Nick Halmos, speaking on this afternoon’s Radio Vacs, described it as ‘benign compared to what we have been through’. The skipper of 11th Hour Racing was focusing on getting through the final frontier:&lt;br /&gt;“We are going to play this next storm much more conservatively and we will just try to weather it as best we can. How we look at it is the race starts pretty much fresh tomorrow.” Said Halmos who lies in sixth place, racing with Kiwi Hugh Piggin. The British-American pair Hannah Jenner and Jesse Naimark-Rowe are fifth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quotes:&lt;br /&gt;Christopher Pratt, co-skipper Banque Populaire:&lt;br /&gt;“We have only very, very light winds with hot sunshine and some left over big waves from the low pressure we had on the last three days. It is certainly not fun to sail in these conditions, no wind, big waves and the wind changing all the time. So a lot of work to sail on the deck.&lt;br /&gt;It is cool sailing with Armel. We are a good team together and he is so focused on the strategy and the navigation and my job is to make the boat go fast, to be on deck as much as possible, so we make good choices. It is nice to be in the sun but we are looking to get into the trade winds vey soon and get the kite up and go fast in the direction of Puerto Limon. We stay to the south to get to the trade winds and then look out for another low pressure which is coming from the west, it depends then whether we look to get west to it, or continue to go south for the trade winds.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nick Halmos (USA) skipper 11th Hour Racing (USA):&lt;br /&gt;“The days has gone from nice and sunny to dark and grey and windy as another cold front approaches us and we are battening down the hatches and getting ready for another big night of breeze. Things are good on board, spirits are high on board. We lost our wind instruments two nights ago and that has caused some gremlins in our electronics systems, but we seem to be working towards patching it together so everything is good. We are pretty happy, we have been having to push pretty hard to keep up with the two leaders in faster boats and so we seem to be nipping at their heels and so we are thrilled that we have had two big storms, the last one in particular was pretty rough, and the boat took a beating and so we are happy to have got through in one piece. So we are going to play this next storm much more conservatively and we will just try to weather it as best we can. How we look at it is the race starts pretty much fresh tomorrow. The conditions we are expecting, we have been pushing very hard to get south of the Azores and so we are expecting, by comparison to what we have been through, quite benign conditions, 35knots, maybe 40 knots, 18 foot waves, nothing major compared to what we saw a couple of days ago, but something to be taken very seriously. The rocket growing is coming along just fine, we put it on hiatus through the storms so the system is below and as soon as we are into the trade winds in the next day or so we will be back at it.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Damien Seguin skipper ERDF Des Pieds et Des Mains:&lt;br /&gt;“No sunshine yet, but conditions are starting to calm down. We are where we are because we wanted to avoid worst of weather. The route seems clear now for next phase. We are feeling much better now that the rough weather is behind us. We are no longer getting soaked, the boat is not slamming and able to eat better. Rough weather only to be expected at this time of year and you quickly get over it. We are studying the weather to try to catch Aquarelle.com but that won’t happen in one or two days though.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marc Guillemot, skipper Safran&lt;br /&gt;“The sails are slatting as there is not much wind. It is good to have Groupe Bel alongside us both looking for wind, but not easy at the moment. We have to remain patient. Our choice has been made and have to accept that. We are just waiting for wind to reappear. With this swell and waves and with no wind there is a lot of pressure on the rig. Not sure I can say I am optimistic. We have a certain distance to cover and it is really difficult to forecast when we’ll be away from the ridge of high pressure.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Standings at 1700hrs CET on Wednesday, november

Club Nautico MDP&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El fin de semana pasado, se disputo la Regata programada para embarcaciones bajo formula PHRF, bajo la organización del Club Nautico Mar del Plata.&lt;br /&gt;La misma otorga puntos para el Campeonato Marplatense Interclubes 2011.&lt;br /&gt;Las condiciones  meteorologicas  fueron: cielo nublado, viento del SE entre  4 y 8 nudos, mar calmo, temperatura entre 14/17 grados.&lt;br /&gt;El leve viento, que recien se  hizo presente casi al finalizar, implico que las tripulaciones de las embarcaciones participantes debieran volcar toda su experiencia para poder completar el recorrido, establecido con partida y llegada dentro del puerto y boyas fondeadas aproximadamente frente a Cabo Corrientes.&lt;br /&gt;Lo destacado de la jornada fue el duelo sostenido por HS26 conducido por Hernan Salerno y el  Corum27  Veneno a cargo de Oscar Salas, superando al resto de la flota gracias a una tactica que les beneficio sobremanera, al

Cabo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing ha finalizado las reparaciones de su palo, y abandonaba Alicante esta tarde para reincorporarse a la Etapa 1. Por su parte, Team Sanya ultima la logística necesaria para enviar su barco a Ciudad del Cabo en cargero. Dos rutas distintas para el mismo destino.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las reparaciones del Volvo Open 70 Azzam comenzaron el pasado domingo y finalizaron hoy. Esta mañana, el equipo pinchaba el nuevo palo, y con las últimas luces del día abandonaba Alicante para reincorporarse a la Etapa 1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Tengo cien por cien confianza en el palo y en el aparejo”, confesaba Ian Walker antes de subir a bordo. “Hemos navegado con ellos alrededor de 6.000 millas, así que estoy razonablemente satisfecho”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En el Atlántico, los cuatro barcos que permanecen en regata continúan sufriendo para recortar millas al recorrido hacia Ciudad del Cabo. Este inusual escenario abre una brecha para las esperanzas de Abu Dhabi de acortar distancias. En cuatro días, los barcos han recorrido apenas 800 millas náuticas a un ritmo muy inferior al que puede desarrollar un Volvo Open 70. La noticia de la retirada de Sanya de esta primera etapa garantiza 10 valiosos puntos para el equipo de Ian Walker si consigue llegar a Ciudad del Cabo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De acuerdo con el responsable de meteorología de Volvo Ocean Race, Gonzalo Infante, Azzam podría encontrarse con duras condiciones cuando se reincorpore: “Dependiendo de cuándo salgan, su entrada en el Atlántico puede ser realmente dura, encontrándose con dos sistemas de bajas presiones con bastante viento”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ya sin palo de repuesto, Ian Walker se muestra cauto: “Es una espada de doble filo. En el Mediterráneo parece que encontraremos brisas suaves, pero en el Atlántico hay una gran depresión, así que podría ser incluso peor que cuando rompimos el palo. Es bueno y malo: podría darnos posibilidades, pero por otro lado iríamos con mucho cuidado”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Tres semanas de navegación sin nadie con quién competir se hace largo, pero intentamos mantener la mentalidad de competición aunque el barco más próximo esté a mil millas”, concluye el patrón británico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abu Dhabi navega a motor rumbo al punto donde puso en suspenso su competición, a unas 30 millas náuticas de Cartagena.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Team Sanya, en carguero&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Team Sanya se encuentra finalizando la planificación para embarcar su Volvo Open 70 rumbo a Ciudad del Cabo, donde realizarán las reparaciones necesarias para reincorporarse a la competición de cara a la etapa 2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoy, el patrón Mike Sanderson confirmaba que han encontrado la solución para garantizar que esté listo para iniciar la segunda etapa el próximo 11 de diciembre en Ciudad del Cabo. El Sanya será cargado en un camión Volvo el viernes para trasladarse desde Motril a Gibraltar, desde donde será embarcado en un carguero de Maersk para poner rumbo a Sudáfrica el domingo por la tarde o lunes por la mañana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El barco debería llegar a Ciudad del Cabo el 27 ó 28 de noviembre para iniciar las reparaciones. En una semana tendrán que lograr lo que normalmente llevaría dos o tres.  “Tenemos que optimizar ese tiempo para regresar más fuertes y rápidos”, apunta Mike Sanderson. “Próxima parada, Ciudad del Cabo”.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-1456790404493125384?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/1456790404493125384'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/1456790404493125384'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/vor-abu-dhabi-vuelve-la-regata.html' title='VOR, Abu Dhabi vuelve a la regata'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dZKxKCxbKW8/TrrYWpfX2RI/AAAAAAAApV0/lEsYYup75Ns/s72-c/m5997_crop18_608x404_132086041322A9.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-6041360890712304244</id><published>2011-11-09T12:42:00.002-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-09T12:45:54.823-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='equipos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Volvo Ocean Race'/><title type='text'>VOR, Team Sanya y su futuro en manos de una buena logística</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S0mVzTk4jw0/TrqgAjI6ygI/AAAAAAAApVo/OY2W82hv4RA/s1600/photo%2B2-1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S0mVzTk4jw0/TrqgAjI6ygI/AAAAAAAApVo/OY2W82hv4RA/s400/photo%2B2-1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673022611919653378" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vista del fondo del Sanya completamente deslaminado&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamsanya.com/en/news/team-sanya-on-the-move-again"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;Fuente info Sanya&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;09.11.11&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;TEAM SANYA…..ON THE MOVE AGAIN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday 9th November 2011, 1335, Alicante&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally some great news for Team Sanya and all of our sponsors, suppliers and fans – we have worked tirelessly over the last few days and last night found a solution to getting Team Sanya back into the Volvo Ocean Race as fast as possible. A huge thanks to everyone who has helped us during this challenging time, and especially to Volvo Trucks and Maersk Line as well as DHL in helping us to assess options and find the right solutions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our race boat Sanya Lan, still based in Motril, South of Spain for now, is getting ready to be loaded onto a Volvo Truck on Friday morning where she will be taken from Motril to the commercial port in Gibraltar. The Team Sanya shore team of David Duff, COO; Nick Bice, Shore Manager and Frano Tregaskis, Rigger as well as our media crew member Andres Soriano, will travel with the consignment ensuring all runs according to plan and we are all kept informed of the progress through blogs, photos and videos of this part of our journey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once in Gibraltar, she will be loaded onto a Maersk Line ship and will depart on Sunday evening/Monday morning to make her speedy way to Cape Town – estimated arrival date for now is around 27th/28th November . In the meantime Mike, David and Nick have pulled together an expert team of boatbuilders who have already done some work for the team in the past and they are going to hot foot it to Cape Town to be there on Monday of next week and get started on preparing the new hull section to be fitted to Sanya Lan. When the yacht arrives in Cape Town, we are aiming to have the piece ready and the guys in place to fit the new piece and fingers crossed she will be up and running. It is going to be a tight schedule for sure, fitting 2-3 weeks of a boatbuild project into a mere 7 days – if we are lucky, we may get one practice day before the re-start from Cape Town on 11th December but that’s good enough for us at this stage!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mike Sanderson and some of the team are now heading straight to Cape Town this week-end to be in situ to oversee operations and the shore team will start work there as planned on 21st November setting up the shore base and ensuring all is ship shape for the arrival of the race boat. Some of the other sailors and shore team have headed home to grab what is now a very few short days of rest and recuperation before heading to Cape Town, ready for some very long days and nights at work!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mike Sanderson, CEO/Skipper of Team Sanya, commented to his team today,&lt;br /&gt;“Guys, I want to thank each and every one of you for the massive effort that everyone has put into this wonderful team. We have to use this time to come back stronger and faster. If we keep fighting hard, I have no doubt we will have some wonderful successes with this group. Next stop – Cape Town!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andres Soriano, the team media crew member, will follow the boat journey between today and Monday, covering the action of loading and unloading and seeing her off on the ship on Sunday night/Monday morning so lots more updates to follow with visuals so we can all keep up to date on the progress.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-6041360890712304244?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/6041360890712304244'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/6041360890712304244'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/vor-team-sanya-y-su-futuro-en-manos-de.html' title='VOR, Team Sanya y su futuro en manos de una buena logística'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S0mVzTk4jw0/TrqgAjI6ygI/AAAAAAAApVo/OY2W82hv4RA/s72-c/photo%2B2-1.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-4348543388349066180</id><published>2011-11-09T12:35:00.003-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-09T12:39:24.778-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Volvo Ocean Race'/><title type='text'>VOR, la opción oeste paga y Groupama reza</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O-FCgr58ViA/TrqeXj6eT0I/AAAAAAAApVc/uvzmeSKdHkY/s1600/blankimg.php.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O-FCgr58ViA/TrqeXj6eT0I/AAAAAAAApVc/uvzmeSKdHkY/s400/blankimg.php.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673020808241237826" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;Fuente info VOR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9 de noviembre de 2011, 14:00h (13:00h UTC) - Etapa 1, Día 5   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;EL RITMO SE ACELERA POR MADEIRA &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La flota de la Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12 continúa dividida en dos. De un lado, Telefónica, PUMA y CAMPER, navegando por el exterior de Madeira; de otro, Groupama, que sigue pegado a Marruecos. En el reporte de las 14:00h, y tras 96 horas de regata, las diferencias se incrementan. El barco de Iker Martínez se mantiene en cabeza y es el más rápido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta mañana, Groupama amanecía al frente de la flota y parecía que su arriesgada opción táctica comenzaba a ver sus frutos. Aunque más lento, cada milla que avanzaba era más eficaz que las recorridas por sus rivales, empeñados en seguir ganando oeste desde que entraron en aguas del Atlántico. Seis horas más tarde, la situación ha cambiado, y los barcos de la opción “offshore” rentabilizan mejor su velocidad, apuntando ahora hacia el suroeste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El Telefónica parece el barco más fuerte, y no sólo lidera la carga, sino que además es el más rápido de acuerdo con la información facilitada por el sistema de seguimiento virtual Tracker: 15,3 nudos de velocidad para el barco de Iker Martínez, por 14,2 del CAMPER, 14,1 del PUMA y 9,9 de Groupama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En las últimas 18 horas, el CAMPER no ha dejado de perder terreno, y si en el reporte de ayer a las 20:00h navegaba a 16,2 millas náuticas de la cabeza, en el de las 14:00h de hoy se ha descolgado a 65,9 millas. Haber virado tarde en las primeras millas atlánticas le está costando caro al barco de Chris Nicholson, que sin embargo muestra buena velocidad en todos los partes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La previsión indica que habrá un cambio en la dirección del viento cuando los tres barcos de la opción oeste superen Madeira. Las tripulaciones preparan la virada, que significará un cambio de rumbo, de velas y de la estiba del barco. Tras este punto de inflexión, la flota pondrá rumbo al sur, hacia los Doldrums, navegando de través, aunque para ello tal vez tengan que esperar 36 horas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Groupama 4 navega de empopada, aunque con brisas más ligeras que sus rivales, lo que le ha hecho perder posiciones y distancia. Mañana, el barco de Franck Cammas debería pasar entre Lanzarote y la costa africana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En Alicante, el Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing de Ian Walker ha confirmado que está casi listo para reincorporarse a la regata. Si todo va según lo previsto, podrían regresar esta misma noche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Doble alegría para Iker y Xabi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liderar la flota no es la única alegría que han recibido hoy a bordo del Telefónica. Anoche se conocía que la ISAF (Federación Internacional de Vela) había elegido a Iker Martínez y Xabi Fernández como Mejores Regatistas del Mundo 2011, otorgándoles el ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year 2011. “La verdad es que es una pareja que no deja de sorprender en nuestro deporte”, escribía desde a bordo el tripulante de comunicación, Diego Fructuoso. “Cada reto que se proponen lo superan. ¡Espero que este de la Volvo Ocean Race les salga bien!”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Parte de posiciones - Día 5 (9 de noviembre, 14:00h)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Team Telefónica (Iker Martínez), a 5.734,0 Nm* de Ciudad del Cabo&lt;br /&gt;2. PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG (Ken Read), +8,8&lt;br /&gt;3. Groupama sailing team (Franck Cammas), +30&lt;br /&gt;4. CAMPER con Emirates Team New Zealand (Chris Nicholson), +65,9&lt;br /&gt;5. Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing (Ian Walker), en suspenso&lt;br /&gt;5. Team Sanya (Mike Sanderson), retirado de la Etapa 1&lt;br /&gt;(* 1 Nm, milla náutica = 1,852 km)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Frases desde a bordo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diego Fructuoso, tripulante de comunicación de Team Telefónica:&lt;br /&gt;“Vemos a nuestros rivales del PUMA, así que por lo menos nos entretenemos siguiéndolos con el compás de marcaciones para ver si han avanzado más o menos que nosotros. Seguimos navegando de ceñida, y eso a bordo significa pocas millas recorridas y muchos botes del barco cuando choca con las olas. Es bastante molesto vivir así, pero no nos queda otra. Cuando voy a poner el agua para cocinar, echo más fuera que dentro. Y dormir igual, te vas despertando constantemente. Pero tranquilos, que estamos bien”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hamish Hooper, tripulante de comunicación de CAMPER con Emirates Team New Zealand:&lt;br /&gt;“De acuerdo con Stu Bannatyne: ‘La primera mitad de esta etapa suele ser tradicionalmente muy distinta a lo que estamos viendo, con navegación incómoda y difíciles decisiones’. Esta es su sexta participación, así que debe saber de qué habla. Al parecer, las condiciones meteorológicas que tenemos no son en absoluto normales. Ese tipo de cosas genera incertidumbre, y a nadie le gusta la incertidumbre”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amory Ross, tripulante de comunicación de PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG:&lt;br /&gt;“Esta mañana debería marcar el final del segundo tramo de esta etapa para nosotros (le primero fue la salida del Mediterráneo), y una vez que entremos en el sistema deberíamos empezar a ganar sur. ¡Creo que todos estamos ya con ganas de empezar la empopada!”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yann Riou, tripulante de comunicación de Groupama sailing team:&lt;br /&gt;“Vamos en una autopista al infierno, sí, pero a lo largo de la costa y con viento a favor. Tenemos Marruecos a golpe de vista, ya sentimos que empezamos la vuelta al mundo, aunque en solitario, y ese no era el plan.

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El equipo de regatas español renueva su confianza las velas Quantum&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barcelona, 9 de Noviembre 2011.-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta mañana, Agustín Zulueta (Director del Iberdrola Team) y Joan Subirats (Director de Quantum Europa) han firmado el acuerdo de colaboración entre la velería Quantum y el en el equipo de regatas Iberdrola Team para la temporada 2012 en Salón Náutico Internacional de Barcelona.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tras la exitosa relación iniciada la pasada temporada, que permitió al Iberdrola Team dominar las 40 Series del Circuito MedCup y a la velería desarrollar el diseño para la clase Soto 40 e implementar la optimización de su tecnología iQ, ambas parten seguirán colaborando durante la próxima temporada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Cuando preparábamos la pasada campaña buscamos un acuerdo que nos permitiese trabajar a fondo en las velas del Soto 40. La coincidencia de objetivos propició que rápidamente nos entendiéramos con Ed Reynolds (Presidente de Quantum) y nos pusimos a trabajar de inmediato”, explicaba Agustín Zulueta. “Las peculiaridades del reglamento de la clase exige de las velas un gran trabajo para asegurar su durabilidad, y por supuesto obtener las máximas prestaciones propias de un competición de tan alto nivel. El resultado fue muy bueno, y seguiremos aportando nuestra experiencia para evolucionar las velas y mejoran sus prestaciones”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joan Subirats expresaba la importancia del acuerdo: “Para Quantum es importante contar de nuevo con la aportación del equipo Iberdrola desarrollo de nuestra tecnología iQ. La información aportada por el Soto 40 Iberdrola y el TP 52 Quantum Racing ha sido muy fructífera, y sin duda beneficiosa para todo el diseño y fabricación en toda nuestra gamas de velas”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carles Rodríguez, Director Comercial de Quantum en España y velero del equipo Iberdrola Team, destacó otros detalles de la colaboración: “Además de la aportación tecnológica para nuestro iQ y del propio diseño de velas, la colaboración nos ha permitido crecer en otros aspectos tan importantes como la resistencia de las velas o el pormenorizado acabado de las velas. No debemos olvidar que en la confección de velas de alta competición el componente artesanal todavía tiene un papel destacado”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todavía sin estar confirmado el calendario definitivo de la clase Soto 40 en Europa, el equipo Iberdrola Team tiene previsto competir de nuevo en el Circuito Audi MedCup, también contempla la posibilidad de hacerlo en las regatas Palmavela y Copa del Rey, además del Campeonato de Europa de Soto 40 que está gestándose.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-2336050873063770479?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/2336050873063770479'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/2336050873063770479'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/iberdrola-team-y-quantum-otra-temporada.html' title='Iberdrola Team  y Quantum, otra temporada juntos'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LodU28da560/Trp9D1J-RQI/AAAAAAAApVQ/64fFV-OsPU8/s72-c/Quantum%252520Acuerdo%252520Iberdrola%25252001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-4197375480709771039</id><published>2011-11-08T22:10:00.006-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-09T10:08:00.422-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='interes general'/><title type='text'>Iker Martinez y Xabi Fernandez en hombres y Anna Tunnicliffe en mujeres, Rolex World Sailors of the Year</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBxvhFQLZX0/Trp67YIvSZI/AAAAAAAApVE/wJn6na9a3xk/s1600/0%257E0%257E0%257ETE%257EVolvo_Race_Office%257E0%257E0%257EIMG_2217.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 274px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBxvhFQLZX0/Trp67YIvSZI/AAAAAAAApVE/wJn6na9a3xk/s400/0%257E0%257E0%257ETE%257EVolvo_Race_Office%257E0%257E0%257EIMG_2217.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672981841136535954" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Xabi Fernandez e Iker Martinez&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mOHRHIEGJTs/TrnWiN8297I/AAAAAAAApUs/wdr9SXGEKJ8/s1600/x2_93567b2.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mOHRHIEGJTs/TrnWiN8297I/AAAAAAAApUs/wdr9SXGEKJ8/s400/x2_93567b2.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672801088998668210" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foto via twitter de Anna Tunnicliffe y su premio&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://sail-world.com/index.cfm?Nid=90505&amp;amp;refre=y&amp;amp;ntid=0&amp;amp;rid=4"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fuente info Sailworld&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Anna Tunnicliffe &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In 2011 Anna Tunnicliffe has only twice returned home from a regatta without a medal. She is the 2010-2011 ISAF Sailing World Cup Champion in Women's Match Racing and the 2011 Snipe Women's World Champion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tunnicliffe and her teammates Molly Vandemoer and Debbie Capozzi kicked off their ISAF Sailing World Cup campaign in January at the US SAILING Rolex Miami OCR where they won the silver medal. Bronze in Palma and Hyères was followed by their first gold medal at the Skandia Sail For Gold Regatta in Weymouth in August. At the final regatta of the series, in Kiel, they finished fifth overall but this was enough to secure them the title.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In November 2010 Anna and crew Molly took a break from match racing to sail at the Snipe Women's World Championship in St Petersburg, USA. True to form they won the title which they followed up with the US national title in March 2011.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tunnicliffe skippers an exceptionally busy team who whose intense training is complemented by regular regatta appearances. From the US Sailing Team Alphagraphics qualifiers to the World Match Racing Tour, the team have stood on the podium eleven times. In January Tunnicliffe was awarded the 2010 US Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year Award and the US Sailing Alphagraphics Team of the Year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2010-2011 ISAF Sailing World Cup Champion - Women's Match Racing&lt;br /&gt;2010 Snipe Women's World Champion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sailing.org/worldsailor/2011/anna-tunnicliffe.php"&gt;Click here to read more about Anna and her achievements www.sailing.org/worldsailor/2011/anna-tunnicliffe.php &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Iker Martinez and Xabier Fernandez (ESP)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world's greatest sailing duo, Iker Martinez and Xabier Fernandez from Spain have raced together since 1999. They made their name in the 49er fleet and since 2005 have risen to prominence in offshore sailing as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On 31 December 2010 Martinez and Fernandez embarked on their first double-handed non-stop round the world race aboard the IMOCA60 MAPFRE. Fourteen boats started the Barcelona World Race and after just ten months of training aboard an IMOCA60, Martinez and Fernandez returned to Barcelona in second place. They completed the 25,000 mile course in 94 days, 21 hours, 17 minutes and 35 seconds and picked up the Pacific Trophy for the fastest boat to complete the Cook Strait to Cape Horn section of the race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the 49er fleet where Martinez and Fernandez are most well-known and they already have two Olympic medals and three world champion titles already under their belts. In August 2011 they took a break from their training for the 2011-2012 Volvo Ocean Race and returned to the 49er at the Weymouth and Portland International Regatta, over a year since they had last competed in the class. In one of the most exciting finales of the regatta, Martinez and Fernandez finished on equal points with fellow nominee Nathan Outteridge who ultimately claimed gold due to a better Medal Race finish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a truly remarkable sailing team whose genuine sailing talent and ability to compete at the highest level in vastly different events sets them apart from the competition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This crew have achieved outstandingly Outstanding from the 49er to round the world racing. Currently they are leading the Volvo Ocean Race after three days of sailing. They made their acceptance of the award by a pre-recorded video to the dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sailing.org/worldsailor/2011/martinez-fernandez.php"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Click here to read more about Iker and Xabier and their achievements www.sailing.org/worldsailor/2011/martinez-fernandez.php &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-4197375480709771039?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/4197375480709771039'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/4197375480709771039'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/iker-martinez-y-xabi-fernandez-en.html' title='Iker Martinez y Xabi Fernandez en hombres y Anna Tunnicliffe en mujeres, Rolex World Sailors of the Year'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBxvhFQLZX0/Trp67YIvSZI/AAAAAAAApVE/wJn6na9a3xk/s72-c/0%257E0%257E0%257ETE%257EVolvo_Race_Office%257E0%257E0%257EIMG_2217.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-8808528564525770555</id><published>2011-11-08T15:05:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-08T15:06:24.241-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regatas internacionales'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Volvo Ocean Race'/><title type='text'>VOR, video resumen de los primeros días de regata</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="450" height="275"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0GHzZSbmLXM?version=3&amp;amp;hl=es_ES"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0GHzZSbmLXM?version=3&amp;amp;hl=es_ES" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="275" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-8808528564525770555?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/8808528564525770555'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/8808528564525770555'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/vor-video-resumen-de-los-primeros-dias.html' title='VOR, video resumen de los primeros días de regata'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-8039216129383235522</id><published>2011-11-08T12:28:00.002-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-08T12:31:32.994-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Records'/><title type='text'>Maserati listo para buscar records</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CiYwRNaZ3Zk/TrlK40VfUhI/AAAAAAAApUU/oxY8GsM6vH0/s1600/iuhplu.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;

But now the Modenese automaker is embarking on a different kind of voyage with the sailboat you see here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rechristened under the name Maserati, this 70-foot VOR carbon-fiber mono-hull racing yacht previously competed in a round-the-world race in 2008-2009. Now unburdened by some 10% of its mass, Maserati will be sailed by world-renowned skipper Giovanni Soldini and his nine-man crew in an attempt to break the records for the three ocean routes: Cadiz to San Salvador, Miami to New York, and New York to Lizard Point, UK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maserati's participation doesn't appear to extend beyond lending its name, but it isn't the only automaker to have done so: the Volvo Ocean race is named by the Swedish automaker that sponsors it, much as Audi sponsors the MedCup sailing race and BMW once sponsored the USA-17 racing trimaran.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-8039216129383235522?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/8039216129383235522'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/8039216129383235522'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/maserati-listo-para-buscar-records.html' title='Maserati listo para buscar records'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CiYwRNaZ3Zk/TrlK40VfUhI/AAAAAAAApUU/oxY8GsM6vH0/s72-c/iuhplu.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-7546685963779407438</id><published>2011-11-08T12:22:00.003-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-08T12:35:19.707-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='carozos'/><title type='text'>Aflojá 3:43 minutos con la Volvo y la Transat y mirate la trilogía de Melanie Iglesias</title><content type='html'>&lt;object height="275" width="450"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2HNYeyjd5z0?version=3&amp;amp;hl=es_ES"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2HNYeyjd5z0?version=3&amp;amp;hl=es_ES" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="275" width="450"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-7546685963779407438?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/7546685963779407438'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/7546685963779407438'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/afloja-342-minutos-y-mirate-la-trilogia.html' title='Aflojá 3:43 minutos con la Volvo y la Transat y mirate la trilogía de Melanie Iglesias'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-2040507421822856281</id><published>2011-11-08T10:56:00.004-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-08T11:05:58.577-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='equipos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Volvo Ocean Race'/><title type='text'>VOR, Team Telefónica marca el camino</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0J0ycGcd9hA/Trk10SetTyI/AAAAAAAApUI/ZtBAJGZRxKw/s1600/111105_TeamTelefonica_0974.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;

Navegando a casi 15 nudos de velocidad, lo que convierte al barco de Iker Martínez en el más rápido de la flota por el momento, el punto de mira está ahora puesto en el paso por la isla de Madeira.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La noche ha sido productiva para el equipo español que ha ganado la batalla a los neozelandeses del “Camper” y en el parte de las 08:00 de la mañana (hora española) el “Telefónica” se colocaba líder, puesto que mantiene en el último parte de posiciones, con el “Groupama” a poco más de tres millas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parece que la opción de Franck Cammas de pegarse a la costa africana comienza a dar sus rendimientos, aunque los franceses no consiguen llegar a las altas velocidades del “Telefónica”, que logra una media de 14,6 nudos en medio de las calmas, un panorama que parece que se prolongará en las próximas horas, como comentaba esta mañana el experimentado jefe de guardia del “Telefónica” Neal McDonald: “Las condiciones de viento hoy son ligeras, y de hecho está todo bastante relajado a bordo ahora, sin demasiado esfuerzo físico, así que estamos de nuevo en buena forma, de vuelta al cien por cien. Acabo de tener una charla con el navegante y me ha dado una actualización, aunque realmente nada excitante. Parece que este viento ligero va a seguir por el momento así que no creo que sea muy desagradable el camino, ni particularmente rápido tampoco…”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El estadounidense “Puma” ocupa la tercera posición pegado al “Telefónica” en su apuesta por el Oeste y marcando exactamente el mismo rumbo. Por su parte, los neozelandeses, a bordo del “Camper”, pagan su intento de apuesta por el Sur y ya han modificado su rumbo siguiendo la estela de los españoles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La clave estará ahora en cuál de las dos opciones – si la del Oeste liderada por el “Telefónica” o la del Sur del “Groupama”-  da más réditos en el paso por Madeira y en la aproximación a las islas Canarias.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tiempo de revisiones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poco a poco el sol y el calor empiezan a hacer acto de presencia, algo que, según Pablo Arrarte, se agradece a bordo del “Telefónica”: “Ya estamos sequillos y vamos con poco viento. Estamos encantados, sobre todo porque aprovechamos ahora para revisar todas las cosas, que la salida del Mediterráneo ha sido muy dura”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CLASIFICACIÓN PROVISIONAL ETAPA 1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ALICANTE (ESPAÑA) – CIUDAD DEL CABO (SUDÁFRICA): 6.500 millas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Día 3 – 11:00 hora española – 8 de Noviembre de 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1º Team Telefónica (Iker Martínez), a 5.946,3 millas de la llegada&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2º Groupama Sailing Team (Franck Cammas), + 3,4 millas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3º Puma Ocean Racing (Ken Read), + 4,1 millas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4º Camper Emirates Team New Zealand (Chris Nicholson), + 26 millas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing (Ian Walker), suspended racing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Team Sanya (Mike Sanderson), retirado de la etapa 1&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-2040507421822856281?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/2040507421822856281'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/2040507421822856281'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/vor-team-telefonica-marca-el-camino.html' title='VOR, Team Telefónica marca el camino'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0J0ycGcd9hA/Trk10SetTyI/AAAAAAAApUI/ZtBAJGZRxKw/s72-c/111105_TeamTelefonica_0974.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-178938605150693203</id><published>2011-11-08T10:53:00.002-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-08T10:56:07.871-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Match race'/><title type='text'>Trofeo de lujo para el World Match Racing Tour</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HxRR7LU3Gf0/Trk03Dc4Q7I/AAAAAAAApT8/L911NKOJ8yc/s1600/WMRT11GARR0711_18217.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 311px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HxRR7LU3Gf0/Trk03Dc4Q7I/AAAAAAAApT8/L911NKOJ8yc/s400/WMRT11GARR0711_18217.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672623326073734066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Foto copyright Chris Davies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;Fuente info WMRT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;World Match Racing Tour and Garrard Mark a New Era for Sailing     &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;London, UK – 7 November, 2011: The World Match Racing Tour unveiled its partnership with Garrard this evening by presenting the new, highly coveted ISAF Match Racing World Championship trophy at Garrard’s flagship store in Mayfair, London. The partnership between the world’s oldest jewellers and the world’s leading professional sailing series marks the next major chapter for the two brands as they continue their expansion globally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joined by a host of special guests, Eric Deardorff - CEO of Garrard, Patrick Lim - Executive Chairman of the World Match Racing Tour and Peter Gilmour - President of the World Match Racing Tour unveiled the unique silver, nautical inspired trophy which was both designed and created by Garrard. Guests included Olympians Colin Jackson CBE and Mark Foster, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, British designer Ozwald Boateng OBE, and Strictly Come Dancing stars Brendan Cole and Darren Gough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Garrard is the new Official Jeweller and Silversmith to the Tour which currently hosts 8 World Championship events around the globe from Germany, Switzerland and Sweden to Korea, Bermuda and Malaysia. The collaboration continues the jeweller’s rich sporting heritage where its famous hallmark can be found on renowned trophies including the America's Cup, the Cricket World Cup and the FA Premier League trophy. The new trophy will be awarded at the season finale, the Monsoon Cup in Malaysia in November, to the 2011 ISAF Match Racing World Champion, a title currently held by Britain’s triple Olympic gold medallist Ben Ainslie who won the 2010 World Match Racing Tour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new Tour trophy is made from sterling silver with partial gilt and enamel, and adopts a nautical theme complete with spiralling waves, nautical rope detail and the Tour’s famous double sails symbol which sits at the top of the trophy. The trophy perfectly reflects the combative, heated nature of match racing where teams go one-on-one in a winner-takes-all battle on the water. Also unveiled at the event to mark the new partnership was the British Jewellery House’s new Nautical Collection, which features a selection of rings, bracelets and cufflinks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To cap the evening, Garrard also pledged to donate 10% of any purchase made as a result of the unveiling to the Prince’s Trust and to Sentebale, the latter a Charity founded by Prince Harry that Garrard proudly supports.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Commenting on the evening, Eric Deardorff - CEO of Garrard, said: “The evening has been a fitting event to start the trophy’s journey to Malaysia where it will be presented to the winner of the highly coveted World Match Racing Tour. It’s an exciting time for Garrard to be partnering with the Tour as we look to grow this historic British house globally, especially to new audiences in Asia, and it is befitting of our historical sailing connections.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peter Gilmour - President of the WMRT, added: “We’ve been delighted to host, alongside Garrard, such a great turn out this evening to unveil the Tour’s magnificent new World Championship trophy. This partnership is the culmination of a lot of hard work and the Tour is very honoured to become part of Garrard’s family of great sporting associations as we continue to develop the series.”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29548923-178938605150693203?l=juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/178938605150693203'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29548923/posts/default/178938605150693203'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanpa-cadario.blogspot.com/2011/11/trofeo-de-lujo-para-el-world-match.html' title='Trofeo de lujo para el World Match Racing Tour'/><author><name>Juan Pablo Cadario</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JCmc-kTGF3Q/TDOq-0m5JhI/AAAAAAAAdww/fps5KtAbP3g/S220/DY_8629_081025.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HxRR7LU3Gf0/Trk03Dc4Q7I/AAAAAAAApT8/L911NKOJ8yc/s72-c/WMRT11GARR0711_18217.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29548923.post-2153058057279957614</id><published>2011-11-08T10:51:00.000-03:00</published><updated>2011-11-08T10:52:27.581-03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Purre'/><title type='text'>El latin del día, por Purre</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;multos reges si ratio te rexerit &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;«Gobernarás a muchos si la razón te gobierna a ti».
