* AC34 San Diego- last week we featured the
J/120 sailors John Laun and Chuck Nichols
who created SEA San Diego and are principally responsible for seeing
the AC34 World Series event being held there this coming weekend. Now
for the actors themselves. While friends from the J/24 and J/80
one-design world are "sending it" in the Volvo Ocean Race in their
ocean-going greyhounds, namely
Ken Read on PUMA and Iker Martinez on TELEFONICA,
their "bicycle" buddies blasting around short-track racing avoiding
brick walls and one another every ten seconds is none other than
Terry Hutchinson and buddies on ARTEMIS RACING.
What's a J/24 World Champion to do after learning what it takes to play
on a world stage-- fly around in wing-sailed catamarans, of course!
Cool stuff. The real racing gets underway Wednesday and look to see
Terry and the boys on ARTEMIS RACING amongst the leaders in this tough
fleet of new-born cat fanatics.
