This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. After a beautiful day with blue sky for day 1 of the America’s Cup, day 2 was a typical San Francisco day with fog hanging over the bridge. There was another difference: while Emirates Team New Zealand won the first two races of […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Finally it is September and the first day of America’s Cup racing arrived. After the lopsided races in the Louis Vuitton Coup, we finally got two teams competing…. or almost… Emirates Team New Zealand won both races, although with a much smaller margin, […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. I missed the first two days of racing of the RedBull Youth America’s Cup (RBYAC) here in San Francisco, but I was very pleased to see our Swiss Team Tilt being in second place. Unfortunately, they couldn’t keep this position during races four […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Today was race 8 of the Louis Vuitton Cup. With a win, Emirates Team New Zealand could close the series. But the weather was much different than in the past few races. The wind was hovering just below 10 kts and the Golden […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Luna Rossa against Artemis Racing, the first semifinal of the Louis Vuitton Cup here in San Francisco. Everyone was wondering how well Artemis will do in their first race and only on day 9 on their new foaling AC72. It showed that they […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Yesterday was another racing day with two boats: Emirates Team New Zealand versus Luna Rossa. New Zealand got a great start ahead of Luna Rossa and the distance between the two boats increased from 20s at the first mark to more than 7 […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. It is summer in San Francisco which means colder temperatures and a lot of fog. Today was no exception: This is the second time that Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ) met Luna Rossa Challenge (LR) in the Louis Vuitton Cup. A week ago, […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. I was told that today was the first time that four AC72s were sailing in the San Francisco bay. There were two boats from Team Oracle USA and one each from Emirates Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa Challenge. Hopefully we’ll be treated […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Last week’s Louis Vuitton Cup sailing races were kind of strange as only one lonely boat worked the course. Today was the first time that two boats faced each other: Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ) against Italy’s Luna Rossa Challenge (LR). ETNZ showed […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Today was the second race of round robin 1 of the Louis Vuitton Cup. It was Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ) against Artemis Racing. Artemis was a no-show because they are still working on getting their second boat ready after their first one […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Today was the first time Oracle raced their two AC72’s in the bay. At one point I was able to capture a sequence where one of their boats made a quick turn while foiling (edit: that’s called gybing on foils)! This is just […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. It was a pleasure today to see Luna Rossa, Emirates Team NZ and Oracle Team USA sailing their AC72s in the San Francisco bay. Here are some of todays captures taken from the shore.
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. It is nice to see Oracle’s AC72 back on the water. Welcome back! I am looking forward to seeing it racing in the bay.
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Today is Christmas for Oracle Team USA at Pier 80 as their second wing for their AC72 arrives. The work can continue to rebuild their damaged boat and in a few weeks they will be out sailing again. I am looking forward to […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. To get a different perspective, I stayed at Crissy Field to get these pictures. Unfortunately there were too many boats between the racetrack and the shore to get an unobstructed view of the AC45s.
