Day of two halves
Langenargen, Germany (19 May 2013): Light winds, strong winds, shifty winds, stable winds, rain, shine – Lake Constance is throwing up all imaginable conditions to test the skippers at Match Race Germany, the opening event of the 2013 Alpari World Match Racing Tour. Today it was the turn of 25 knot winds, sharp seas and driving rain in the morning only for these to peter out leading to a long delay before the Semi Finals could start.

El segundo día del Campeonato San Isidro Labrador de S33 se corrió con viento de N-NE de 10 nudos bajando a lo largo del día. Una ola cortita y cruzada complico el día con frio y lluvia al final.
A bordo del BOLT y volviendo un poco a las fuentes navegando en barcos chicos. Una gran experiencia volver a navegar con amigos de toda la vida.

Hoy comenzó en Darsena Norte el Campeonato San Isidro Labrador para la clase OD27 que puso siete barcos en la línea de largada. Fueron tres regatas que empezaron con vientos medianos del N-NE, bajando a lo largo del día y con un poco de lluvia al final y frío. El agua en bajante y un poco de ola corta bastante molesta en el borde con malas. A bordo del BOLT tuvimos un buen día aunque podriamos haber estado inclusive un poco mas adelante, cometimos algunos errores y los pagamos caro.
Como siempre el Intrépido, que es el barco a batir, hoy fue muy parejo y con parciales de 1,2,1 lidera con 4 puntos. En el BOLT hicimos 3,1,2 y con 6 puntos estamos expectantes esperando a que mañana con más regatas y un probable descarte (con 5 regatas corridas) nos permita escalar y superar a los amigos del Intrépido.

STATEMENT FROM NATHAN OUTTERIDGE:
Alameda, CA – May 13, 2013 The description of the accident in the Newcastle Herald while quoting my father is not correct and does not reflect the facts. Unfortunately it has been relayed by other media. Right now, we are all still mourning and working to understand what happened. I hope everyone can respect this and I thank all those who have expressed support.
