Christophe Guigueno — 2010-09-05T16:36:57Z

the start of th e Ruote du Rhim is in less than 60 days. This edition will be fabulous with the come back of the giants (the Ultime class) and the promising regattas in Imoca (60' monohulls), Multi 50 and Class 40. But it is almost impossible to see these boats and their skippers sailing together on the same event. Happy Baie in La Trinité did it this weekend for few of them. Bernard Gergaud was there !

Emirates Team New Zealand's return to Cartagena proved something of a repeat performance as the 2009 Audi MedCup champions retained the overall Caja Mediterráneo Region of Murcia Trophy for the second year in a row on the same waters where they clinched the overall TP52 Series championships title last year.

The wind was light and patchy on this first day of match-racing in the International C-Class Catamaran Championship. Canaan, the black cat raced by the Canadian defenders Fred Eaton and Magnus Clarke, was in her element yesterday, winning three of three races.

What a difference a day makes. Thursday was all Canaan all the time at the International C-Class Catamaran Championship at the New York Yacht Club's Harbour Court. The stars today were the Canadian defenders Fred Eaton and Magnus Clarke, who won all three races, while Alpha, yesterday's leader, sailed by Australians Glenn Ashby and James Spithill, finished second in all three races. In point of fact, Canaan has won four straight races, winning the last one on Wednesday.

Ashby and Spithill dominate 1srt day racing in Newport

The nor'easter departed New England today – more or less – and is off to ruin Canada for a couple of days. Its departure – better late than never — gave the half-dozen winged multihulls sailing in the International C-Class Catamaran Championship at the New York Yacht Club's Harbour Court a chance to stop talking and start performing. As if they needed any other encouragement.
