How Time Flies - 38th Rolex Ihlabela Sailing Week - 10 Soto40s - Hundred of Yachts

Birth place of the Soto40 is the Rolex Ihlabella Race Week 2008. Now the class has grown to almost 30 boats and heading to another continent, Asia. 



Commotion at S40 promises to be one of the fiercest competition on this coast will be sailing from Brazil, Argentina and Chile The organization of the 38th Rolex Ilhabela Sailing Week has confirmed the registration until moment of the ten boats for the class S40. The largest sailing event in Latin America will get crews in Brazil, Argentina and Chile to the races in the category, one of the fastest growing in the world ocean sailing. In the current champion of the event, the Pajero, the fleet will have the Brazilian Creole, Carioca Mitsubishi / Gol and Loyal.The Argentines will be represented by sailing in Ilhabela Noryema and Patagonia. As for the S40 will be Chile's Pisco Sour, Mitsubishi and Nuevo Acuario II Maestra.  "Rolex Ilhabela Sailing Week was fortunate to find the way by bringing a class of large monotypes Ocean to Brazil and it has been the big star event in recent years." 


Eduardo Souza Ramos skipper/owner of S40 Pajero said, "The growth of the S40 class is evident in South America. Chile is has the highest number one country with ten S40s. In Brazil there are six boats, four in Argentina and Uruguay one. The class also exists in Europe (Audi MedCuP Circuit) with five boats and one in Asia", (launching in Japan in July). 


Said the director of sailing the Yacht Club de Ilhabela, José Nolasco, "The S40 has the best technology currently sailing on the ocean in the world. Therefore, the Rolex Ilhabela Sailing Week encourages the class, who was born in Yacht Club Ilhabela, in a project set in 2008. Brazil takes a step forward in making the best ocean sailing of the continent to play the event on equal terms.  The importance is even greater because it will be decided on the South American Championship of S40 of the season, which first stage was held in January in Punta del Este, Uruguay, and the second is now in the Yacht Club de Ilhabela," .

What is the MedCup?


The Audi MedCup Circuit has continuously built on six years of real, solid racing history. This year the 40 Series joins the 52 Series to continue the evolution of the world‘s leading regatta circuit.
 
Originally, back in 2004, the TP52 class grew from the dissatisfaction with the complex handicapping system which prevailed in the Mediterranean. It was overly technical, and required complex mathematics after the race finished to compute the winner, revealed only after handicaps had been taken into account.

With a simple box rule, development classes cut away all of that and immediately produced simple, exciting, enthralling racing which found favour with owners, competing crews, organizers, sponsors and venues. The classes and the circuits grew year after year and since 2005 have consistently drawn the best sailors in the world to compete on an equal footing.

2005 saw the first event of the Breitling MedCup Circuit in Punta Ala off the Italian Tuscan coast. There were just seven yachts on the start line of this first event but the seed had been sown and later in the season the fleet grew in size to eleven boats and competed as a class at the Trofeo Reina in Valencia, followed by the Copa del Rey in Palma de Mallorca. The closing event of the inaugural season was held in Porto Rotondo in Sardinia, with Vasco Vascotto’s (ITA)Pisco Sour (CHI) crowned the first MedCup Champions.

2006 was to exceed all expectations with a total of 22 boats competing at the highest possible level. The fleet welcomed new designers and new owners to compete against the ‘old hands’ from the previous year. The Circuit increased the number of races and venues – first they went back to Punta Ala in Italy, then to Castellón in Spain followed by Portals and Palma in Mallorca, then Athens in Greece and finally to the closing event in Ibiza. Mutua Madrileña – Mean Machine (MON) and her owner and skipper, Peter de Ridder (NED), were the overall winners, but they did not have an easy ride with boats like Warpath (USA) and Siemens (IRL), ensuring that there was a battle right to the final race.

2007 turned out to be stronger again for the MedCup, with a total of 24 boats competing and yet more new faces and boats appearing over the five-event circuit. The season started in Alicante in mid-June, then moving to Mallorca for two events in July and August in Portals and Palma respectively, before heading to the Atlantic for the first time with a regatta hosted by Portimão in Portugal, before returning to the Mediterranean and closing the season in Hyères, France in early September. There were many winners in 2007 but the dominant SwedishArtemis, owned and steered by Torbjorn Tornqvist (SWE) with Russell Coutts (NZL) on tactics, dominated and took the circuit prize.

2008 was an historic year with eight new boats being built especially to compete during the six individual regattas that make up the Circuit. AUDI AG took the title sponsorship for the Circuit. Terry Hutchinson (USA) and the crew of the American boat Quantum Racing won the overall title, setting a new highly professional standard.

2009 was no less exciting and no less historic as the 42 Series added a new and equally enticing dimension to the Audi MedCup Circuit. The Circuit visited Alicante, Marseille, Cagliari, Portimão and Cartagena and so, over the season, the widest range of weather and sea conditions were offered to the competing teams. On their debut season on the Circuit, the tightly knit, highly polished Emirates Team New Zealand (NZL), set the bar high from the start of the season with skipper-helm Dean Barker (NZL), and went on to win the 52 Series with races to spare. The 42 Series went to the wire, right down to the final race when the young team from the Canary Islands, Islas Canarias Puerto Calero (ESP) clinched the first 42 Series title on the Audi MedCup Circuit.

2010 saw new features added to the Audi MedCup Circuit with the goal of increasing popularity and its ongoing success.

The Crew programme reserved a guest spot on board during all races during the 2010 Audi MedCup series, thus allowing key visitors to experience the action up close and personal. For the first time, as well as Virtual Eye and text updates from the race course, the 2010 Audi MedCup Circuit had all the races beamed live from the water streamed on to the internet. In 2010 the honours in the 52 Series went again to Emirates Team New Zealand (NZL) after a tighter contest than when they won in 2009 on their debut. Racing was closer and tighter, not least due to the presence of three new America’s Cup teams, ALL4ONE (FRA/GER), Luna Rossa (ITA) and TeamOrigin (GBR). In the 42 Series the winner was past Olympic champion's José María Van der Ploeg's Madrid Caser (ESP).

Maestros of Marseille, Container and Iberdrola triumph


The Mistral won the day but Germany’s Container won the regatta. The infamous strong NW’ly wind, kicking up big, awkward seas on the course area and at the entrance to Marseille harbour, meant the one final showdown race scheduled could not be run today leaving Udo Schuetz’s Container team victorious in the 52 Series Marseille Trophy, and Spain’s Ibedrola Team winning the 40 Series Marseille Trophy.

Container (GER), debutants on the Audi MedCup Circuit, follow up there second place in Cascais last month, which was gained only days after launching their boat for the first time on the Portuguese capital’s racing waters.

The Markus Wieser (GER) skippered crew become the first German flagged team ever to win a regatta on the Audi MedCup Circuit, a victory for renowned owner Schuetz, formerly successful sportscar racer who won the 1993 Admiral’s Cup with a three boat German team. The veteran owner arrived to be on board for the finale today, but was thwarted by the brisk Mistral.

Ironically, so late was the inception of the Container TP52 programme that this was originally supposed to be their first regatta in the class. But, with a very experienced crew – a hard core evolving their two year Container STP65 programme – and assured tactics they proved furiously consistent in Portugal.

In France over eight races they beat the world champions and Cascais Trophy winnersQuantum Racing (USA) five times on the hop. Yesterday their first ever win in the class was a vital victory over the 35 miles, high points value coastal race, to emerge this afternoon just 1.5pts clear of the America’s Cup winning skipper-helm Ed Baird and crew ofQuantum Racing who took second.

If the Container team were visibly pleased with their regatta win, so too Quantum Racing were not overly disappointed to emerge from a very testing, tactical regatta during which the breezes proved extremely difficult to read. If the Cascais menu was strictly upscale ‘formule’, Marseille’s wind strengths delivered the full à la carte menu from 6kts to 26kts often with shifts of 15-30 degrees, big variations in pressure, and different breezes on either flank of the windward-leeward tracks.

All five of the Soto 40 crews would have loved a Mistral powered decider today, not least the sharp shooting South American guns on Patagonia by Negra, skippered by Uruguayan Nicolas Gonzalez, whose two wins from yesterday’s three races had got them to within three points of Jose Maria ‘Pichu’ Torcida’s Iberdrola.

But the strong winds stymied that too and Iberdrola Team, who won the Marseille Trophy here last year, also extend their lead in the Audi MedCup Circuit 40 Series from 10 points after Cascais to be 18 points ahead of Patagonia.

Across the eight races off Marseille, six different TP52’s won individual races including two for British owner Tony Langley and his Gladiator crew on their Audi MedCup Circuit debut, matching Quantum Racing’s tally of two wins. And both Audi Sailing Team powered by All4ONE (FRA/GER) and Container won their first races of the season.


Markus Wieser (GER) skipper-helm Container (GER):
“When we started sailing in Cascais we said a top three, podium result would be great for us and we got second and we come here to Marseille we also thought top three would be great, and so winning is a great surprise for us. We are new into the class, I sailed the boat for the first time in Cascais, but it all comes down to the great team and the owner. He gave me the chance to sail with the guys I wanted to sail with. We have a great tactician, we have Hartwell Jordan who is running the boat, the sail programme so we are set up very well. And so it really comes down to the team. We all won together, and it is great victory for us and for Germany. We have a nice combination. I have known Hamish for many, many years we sailed together on the match-race circuit and with Hartwell the mainsail trimmer we sailed together for many years, so it is a nice combination. I picked the guys to fit nicely together and we have fun sailing together. If you have fun you can sail very well together.
On the long distance race yesterday we had a fight coming from behind. And we won the race because we were just fighting all the time and it is just nice sailing with these guys.
After the second day we were in sixth position but the gap between us was just six points and so we always knew that if we can have a good day we would be back in the game. Consistency is so very important, even with eight boats you have to fight for every place and never give up. So our fighting mentality helps us come back.
Our team is working very well in the light stuff and the strong breeze so Cagliari can be good. I think that Quantum, us and Audi Azzurra Sailing Team have a slight advantage.
There was not much between us an Quantum. We did beat Quantum five races in a row and so we played the shifts a little better. But if you are on the up you feel strong, and if you are not doing so well it is hard to fight back, if one team is on a high it is really hard to beat them. We have been on a high on the last three days and so it was difficult for Quantum to catch us. Out boat speed became better and better. We are learning every day and we are still catching up, I think it is very level between us, Quantum and Azzurra.”

José María Torcida (ESP), skipper, Iberdrola Team (ESP):
"We are quite pleased with the way we´ve sailed here in Marseille, with tough conditions. We are very happy with the boat and the crew, becasue we are people who enjoys been in the water, something that can be an importante factor in long championships such as the Audi MedCup Circuit. About Cagliari, not a lot will change, we´ll have a small change at the mast. There´s no doubt that we will try to keep working the way that we´ve been in order to reach our final goal".

Ed Baird (USA), Skipper, Quantum Racing (USA):
“We are disappointed because we would´ve liked to have a chance to go out there today and get some points back, but the weather is the weather. Container sailed really well this week, especially in the last three or four races, the deserved to win. Basically, we stretched our lead from a lot of the teams and only lost to them. We are happy so far. Now we have to wait for the next opportunity to race everybody in Italy”.

Ed Reynolds (USA) project manager Quantum Racing (USA):
“The important thing is that we only lost 1.5 points in the overall since Cascais, that is all. This was like last year where the Kiwis dominated in Cascais and came here and got fourth. This was a really tough, tough regatta and Container did a really good job to end up where they did, and I am really proud of our guys too, it was amazingly tough. We felt we survived and it could easily, easily have been ten points worse off. Debrief? We think that marginal surfing conditions are maybe not really a strong point of the boat, or whether we need more technique. We had never sailed in these conditions so there was a lot of learning going on. We are going to make some more some changes.
I think our boat is very strong upwind. There are some areas downwind, could be the sail choice, could be the technique, that is one of the things we will work on for next time. Container – I don’t want to take away from the skill of the crew – they have it figured out but the boat looks really quick downwind.
We are hoping for steadier breeze in Cagliari and just to get some time to just let the big horse get out and run for a while. Cagaliari we won three years ago, had a really bad regatta two years and we were in the hunt last time.
It is very different dynamic than with Terry (Hutchinson). This is good working through an adversity together. It has been fun because it has been pointed and the discussions are good and so I do think we will come away from here a stronger team. For everybody here it is a change. This event everyone was so close together.
For us we never come to a regatta to win it, it is always about the series. And so from that standpoint each event is a race in a regatta, in the big scheme of things. We were not naïve enough to think we were going to come here and run the table. This is the closest the series has been since I have been doing the MedCup. We just got on a roll in Cascais and the expectations were high and pretty big, but I don’t think anyone on our team was believing that.”

Tony Langley (GBR) owner-driver Gladiator (GBR);
“We exceeded all expectations this time out. It was fantastic. I made a few changes after Palma Vela and signed Chris Main a week ago and his experience has been invaluable, that was a late thing. And that was the missing ingredient and he said what do you want from me? And I said I want you to roll the dice. He did say to be prepared to be last in every race. And I said that if was going to be a last in every race then just make sure it was not a procession to the last. I said roll the dice and if we come out in the top half then don’t roll it again, and if we come out in the bottom half then roll it again if you can.
It is all a challenge. For me it is all about steering the boat myself. We had a very long coastal race. The first hour and a half we were second boat and third boat then fourth and after an hour and half I was pretty pleased with that. And I don’t think it is any coincidence that the two last boats were owner-drivers, in uprange conditions. I can drive at a reasonable level at 12-14kts, but uprange is where the pros are still driving at 98% after four hours and I am down at 80%.
I had the Farr 45 five years ago. I had a very lucky debut Round the Island and won Class Zero with two pros on board. And we still have the 45 and I really enjoyed the progression through that. I don’t think I could have stepped into this fleet without that, the hand on hand on combat and we still do a bit of that on the Solent."

Hamish Pepper (NZL) tactician Container (GER):
“It is a bit of a shame we did not get to sail today. We would have had an exciting race with Quantum Racing I am sure and the other boats would have been fighting it out for third I am sure. We are thrilled. We are new to the Circuit and so it is great to get a win. We are getting to know the boat better. We are learning the modes and the targets and speeds. The boat seems to be very good downwind, we gained a lot downwind when the breeze got up downwind. Markus and the guys did a great job trimming. And we managed to get the pressure at the right time. It is good.
It is always important to win regattas. It is a nice feeling when the shore team put so much time into the boat, they work very long hours and so for us to go on the water and be able to pull it off is great. And for Udo to be here it is great.
The level is always good. Quantum Racing is a good boat, Azzurra is good and Synergy, RAN have good crew, even Gladiator won a couple of races and showed they are a good boat and a good team. It is always tricky, it is tough, always tough.
This is a totally different venue to Cascais. It is a tactical venue. There are lots of things going on with pressure, lots of opportunities, shifts, geographical effects. It is a tough regatta to do well at.
We are here, having fun, we enjoy going sailing and there are a lot of friends on board and that is fun sailing. When you are having fun sailing it seems to go well. It is fun sailing with Markus.
I was a bit tired after the Olympic regatta so it is nice to get the body back in order here!

"Negra Showing True Color"

A Sunday showdown for the Marseille Trophy is in prospect for the 52 Series after an emphatic coastal race win today by Udo Schuetz’ Container ensures they go into the one scheduled race of the Audi MedCup Circuit’s second regatta of the season with a lead of just 1.5 points ahead of world champions Quantum Racing.



As Container (GER) today overhauled Quantum Racing’s (USA) regatta lead, now with a cushion of 8.5 and seven points respectively to third overall, the top duo have stacked the odds very much in favour of one of the two of them winning the regatta.


In the 40 Series fleet two wins from today’s three races keeps the visiting South American crew of Patagonia by Negra (ARG/URU) in contention for the 40 Series French title, trailing Cascais Trophy winners Iberdrola (ESP) by only three points.

In NW’ly breezes which opened the racing day shifty, unsettled and varying from 6-13kts but built to a proper 18-21kts of classic Marseille Mistral, Iberdrola’s 3,1,3 for the day was bettered by Patagonia by Negra, which is skippered by Nicolas Gonzalez (URU). The double winners of the South American Circuit finished 1,3,1 to also ensure that the odds are now very much in favour of either Iberdrola or Patagonia by Negra lifting the Marseille Trophy for the class.

The 52 Series coastal race in Marseille is often a classic, and today’s 35 miler east to a leeward turn at Cassis delivered adrenalin pumping action, excitement and intrigue right until the end.

Container, steered by Wieser with Hamish Pepper (NZL) calling tactics and Marc Lagesse (RSA) navigating, was quick downwind and up to overhaul long time leader Audi Azzurra Sailing Team (ITA) from the leeward turn, going on to win by 1 minute and 15 seconds as they surfed across the finish line at the entrance to Marseille’s historic harbour.Container win their first race of the season, the 1.5 points bounty coastal race, ensuring that all eight TP52’s have now won at least one race this season.

The recovery of the day, that of Audi Sailing Team powered by All4ONE(FRA/GER)was not only spectacular in its magnitude but proved to have a bearing on the standings between Quantum Racing and Container. The Franco-German team were lying third on the downwind long leg when they caught a large fish on their rudder blade. They had to drop their spinnaker and back up to remove it, dropping to eighth. But a long tack offshore on the final beat back allowed them to get back up to third place, finishing just behind blue sistership Audi Azzurra Sailing Team (ITA).

But with Audi Sailing Team powered by All4ONE crossing in front of Quantum Racing today the American team find themselves needing to have one boat between them and Container to win the Marseille Trophy.

40 Series
Patagonia by Negra won the first race of the day for the 40 Series fleet from an intriguing heat which saw big changes in wind direction and strength until the Mistral breeze seemed to establish itself better on the final leg.
Three of the five strong fleet were over the start line early. Only Patagonia by Negra andInaki Castaner's Noticia IV (ESP) started cleanly. but the Spanish boat was forced way out to the right on the first beat and struggled therafter.
At the top end of the shifty second beat Ngoni (GBR) closed right up to Patagonia by Negra and chased the South American boat around the final mark.
Tony Buckingham's British crew were ahead momentarily on the last downwind but the South Americans held their nerve to win with Ngoni second.

Circuit leaders Iberdrola triumphed as the Mistral wind kicked in to give the most spectacular and physcially testing racing of this French leg of the Audi MedCup Circuit yet. With 21-22kts in the gusts, but still with some big windshifts and bends, the Spanish team may have lead up both windward legs, but Patagonia by Negra - winners of the previous heat - got themselves into the lead at the final turn.

Iberdrola, made a perfect text book hoist at the bear away in the blustery conditions and were able to jump back into the lead.
The disappointment of the South American team on Patagonia by Negra was heightened still further when their spinnaker halyard slipped when they were two thirds of the final run, allowing Noticia IV to surf through to steal second.

Iberdrola went into the third heat with a lead of five points but found themselves on the wrong side of the first beat. Noticia IV steered by Inaki Castaner lead all the way through to the final run when Patagonia by Negra got through.
