Alinghi had a great start to the 2013 D35 season in Versoix. After waiting for the wind all day on Friday, five races were sailed on Saturday and the maximum of six races took place on Sunday. Alinghi showed a consistency at the top of the rankings that impressed many, scoring no fewer than six [...]]]> http://new.alinghi.com/2013/05/alinghi-off-to-a-flyer-in-versoix/feed/ 0 http://new.alinghi.com/2013/05/alinghi-finish-second-in-qingdao/ http://new.alinghi.com/2013/05/alinghi-finish-second-in-qingdao/#comments Mon, 06 May 2013 16:42:27 +0000 guy.sich http://new.alinghi.com/?p=8502
A nerve-shredding finale to Act 3 in Qingdao saw Alinghi take second place behind The Wave, Muscat, who claimed first spot by the smallest of margins. Day 4 provided the best conditions of the week and nine extremely competitive races were run on Fushan Bay. All day the tussle for victory between Alinghi and The [...]]]> http://new.alinghi.com/2013/05/alinghi-finish-second-in-qingdao/feed/ 0 http://new.alinghi.com/2013/05/day-3-act-3-qingdao/ http://new.alinghi.com/2013/05/day-3-act-3-qingdao/#comments Sun, 05 May 2013 06:20:52 +0000 guy.sich http://new.alinghi.com/?p=8497
Persistent and dense fog almost put pay to the entire day’s racing, but in the end it cleared in time for four races to be run on Fushan Bay, the last of which concluded as dusk was fast approaching. Light winds of five knots on a short course only served to heighten the tension. It [...]]]> http://new.alinghi.com/2013/05/day-3-act-3-qingdao/feed/ 0 http://new.alinghi.com/2013/05/day-2-act-3-qingdao/ http://new.alinghi.com/2013/05/day-2-act-3-qingdao/#comments Fri, 03 May 2013 15:58:28 +0000 guy.sich http://new.alinghi.com/?p=8489
An utterly compelling day of stadium racing in Fushan Bay saw Alinghi maintain their position at the top of the leaderboard following a dramatic duel with The Wave, Muscat. The racecourse in Qingdao is particularly compact, with surrounding buildings and lots of big shifts combining to make it another challenging day for the teams.

After a testing day’s sailing in tricky conditions, Ernesto Bertarelli’s Alinghi have continued where they left off in Oman and Singapore, topping the leaderboard at the end of day one of Act 3 in Qingdao at China’s International Sailing Centre.

If the final day of the first Ace of the Extreme Sailing Series in Muscat, Oman, lacked pure speed, then it more than made up for it with racing that provided tension, brilliance and an incredibly close finish.
