New year, new grand piano for Artemis

Great price for a great sailor: Loïck Peyron

Loïck Peyron, who had just been honored as "Seamaster 2013" at the "Flagship Night" on the opening day of the trade fair in Düsseldorf, was immediately back in his office in Alameda, California, when Artemis switched the new grand piano to the red AC72 for the first time to carry it out on the bay. With a good 4 Beaufort, however, they only acted in second gear, because the Swedes know from painful experience what it feels like when such a part comes from above. And again it was shown that the Swedes, unlike the other three teams, have not yet used foils that lift the boat out of the water when the boat is moving faster.

Chief designer Juan Kouyoumdjian did not reveal whether this was the last word, but was nevertheless satisfied. “I would describe (this wing) as an evolution of the first. There are no fundamental differences. " He also pointed out how far the team had come in the past two years, as they practically had to start from scratch. “We had no people, no team base and we have never worked together in this constellation. We built the first wing as a kick-off project. But when you work towards the second boat, with the experience of building the first … everything gets a little easier. We stayed on time and on the weight limit, as it should be."

Unlike everyone else, Artemis does not use foils to lift the boat out of the water

Even after the dismissal of skipper Terry Hutchinson at the end of the previous year, the troupe of the Swedish entrepreneur Torbjörn Tornquist is peppered with rock stars. Dist the Olympic runner-up in the Star, Iain Percy, then the Olympic champion in the 49er, Nathan Outteridge, the icon Paul Cayard and of course "Seamaster" Peyron, who do everything to heat the Italians from LunRoss and the highly motivated New Zealanders in the elimination for the America’s Cup. Whether it’s enough will be shown by the first races of the Louis Vuitton Cup at the latest, which will be on the program from the beginning of July in front of San Francisco.

Juan K and Paul Cayard say: Everything is good!
