This Season we are going to focus more on the nine events that make up the 2008-09 AsianYachting Grand Prix Championships, from which the winning Skipper and Racing Yacht are derived each year. Along with improving the events profile plus the ever increasing stature that AY Race Reports are receiving these days, all future event coverage will include specially designed templates and advertising spots on the web edition and daily Race Reports. Following on from the success of the AY Olympic Reports some advertisers have signed up for a series of regatta's and we hope to nail an overall sponsor that would like to splash their branding on this exciting series of Asian events. As it is considered the best way to gauge the most successful racing campaign run through Asian waters each year, the AYGP has rapidly gained recognition and momentum recently. Keeping in tradition with other Grande Prix sporting events, we are looking into awarding champagne prizes at the end of each of the nine events as well as the final in Koh Samui.

1. EDITORIAL

We mentioned in our AY Olympic Summary that "Some teams won medals but did not win races and other teams that won races did not win medals" but what really concerns us is - How are the majority of sailors from the 62 competing nations that did not place in any races or win medals, going to better themselves and have any chance of overtaking the other 18 medal winning nations. If any national sporting organisations are serious about winning medals at the London 2012 Olympics they better get cracking NOW! A word of warning - the four year cycle never stops in the developed sailing nations and team members are already targeting more Olympic medals going into the future.

The best way of fast tracking this process might be by taking a few lessons from the Chinese. Less than 10 years ago, sailing in China was a relatively unknown sport and now they can win a gold and bronze medal in Qingdao. They took a old ship repair facility in a sleepy coastal city and transformed it into an Olympic sailing village right in the center of a modern, thriving seaside resort city. The Chinese medallists - Lijia Xu (Laser Radial Bronze) at 75 centimeters (5-foot-9) and 68 kilos (150 pounds) earlier in her career won back-to-back Optimist class titles in 2001, 2002 and won the Women's Laser Radial Championship with a race to spare, in California a year before the Olympics. Women RS:X windsurfer Gold medallist Jian Yin comes from a small town up in the mountainous interior and was inspired by China's women Windsurfing Silver medallist Zhang Xiao Dong at the 1992 Barcelona Games and Hong Kong's Lee Lai Shan the women's windsurfing Gold medallist from the 1996 Atlanta games that got her into windsurfing. Yin adds the gold medal onto the silver medal she won in Athens four years ago.

Qualifying for the Olympics is all about the individual sailors ranking which is derived from the results achieved at ISAF events and world class championships held each year. Therefore as sailing is an equipment sport, national budgets will need to be increased considerably to cover the costs of buying boats, building suitable facilities, plus introducing high performance training and serious coaching techniques just to get existing sailors up to speed. Any decent program must be backed up with long term funding or sponsors that will take care of the sailors and coaches, living and transport expenses, whilst garnering international exposure by competing regularly at these overseas ranking events. The British team have spare boats, sparing partners and for three years called Qingdao there second home.

Asian nations tend to dangle the carrot in front of their sports men and women by offering millions of dollars if they bring home a medal. If there is that sort of money around after the event, wouldn't it be better spent trying to get the sailors through the next four years of competition leading up to the games in 2012. One leading Qingdao newspaper journalist asked Britain's Paul Goodison after winning the Laser gold medal "How much is his prize money when he gets home?" to which he answered "Zilch - Just being able to compete at the games was the biggest reward he ever imagined and taking home a gold medal after his fourth place in Athens, is a huge bonus". The national lottery in the UK takes the pain of sponsor hunting away from athletes and lets them concentrate on doing what they do best.

However even if all these facilities and programs are put in place over the next few years it does not guarantee any medals. National authorities have to be prepared for the long haul as complete dedication to the sport and maturing a competitive family of sailors will take some time to come together. But what a better time than NOW! - To start getting ready for the future.
Happy sailing

2. AUSTRAL - ASIAN NEWS

2.1 Wash-up from the 2008 OLYMPIC GAMES...
Beijing, China (August 23, 2008) - The ad hoc Division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has dismissed the applications filed by the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) and the Spanish Olympic Committee (COE) against two decisions of the International Jury of the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) related to the gold medal race of the 49er event which took place on 17 August 2008. As a result, the final results as posted are officially confirmed. According to Jos M Spijkerman (NED), International Judge, "The CAS looks at the procedure and format, not at the conclusion of the Jury. As long as all rules for procedure have been followed and the decision is within the scope and jurisdiction of the panel, the CAS will not change the outcome." -- Complete report: http://rrsstudy.blogspot.com/2008/08/cas-decision-in-49er-gold-medal.html

The Beijing Olympic Games Sailing Competition brought together 400 of the world's finest sailors racing in 272 boats representing 62 nations. They demonstrated their talent to the world over the course of 117 races during 13 days of competition in 11 sailing events. After years of dedication and training, competition for the ultimate prize in sport came down to 11 Medal Races, where the winners of the 33 sailing medals of the Beijing Games were decided.

In many ways this was a landmark Games for sailing. It was the first time the Medal Race format, featuring the top ten competitors competing in a final double-points race, was used at the Olympic Games. China won its first ever gold medal in sailing, whilst Alessandra Sensini of Italy became the first female sailor to win four Olympic medals. British sailor Ben Ainslie won his third consecutive Olympic gold medal, a feat International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Jacques Rogge called "equally fantastic" to the recording-breaking performances of American swimmer Michael Phelps and Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt.

In total 18 nations won medals, including the first ever sailing medal for Lithuania. With four gold, one silver and one bronze medal, Great Britain topped the sailing Medal Tally for the third consecutive Games. Other gold medals went to Australia (two), Spain, the USA, China, Denmark and New Zealand. Relive the 2008 Olympic Sailing Competition by browsing the three Olympic Photo Galleries found in the AY Photo Library at: http://asianyachting.com/photos/default.htm

Following the medal count, counting the number of entrants that qualified for the Medal Race has become a secondary tier to gauge a team's success. The top three medal winning countries were equally strong in the medal race category, with the British qualifying for the medal race in all eleven events, while the French were in 8 and the Australians were in 7. For the US and Canada, they had entrants in 4 events and 3 events, respectively.

Chinese sailors are aiming to knock Team GB off the top medal tally slot has already been launched. Rather frighteningly, there are already 80 yacht clubs in schools in Qingdao alone, with 42 schools offering specific courses in sailing. The city authorities reckon that they have 2,000 children from the age of 11 out on the water and the ten best performers are picked out annually and sent on intensive training courses in Kiel, Germany. Today it is Ainslie and the Yngling girls, tomorrow it could be the turn of an 11-year-old Chinese kid who has decided to follow in the wake of Yin Jian. -- Times Online, complete story: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/olympics/article4587724.ece

The 2008 Paralympic Games takes place from 6-17 September, with Qingdao hosting the Paralympic Sailing Competition from 8-13 September.

That then just leaves the equipment (ie, boats) for the 2012 Olympic sailing events to be decided at the 2008 ISAF Annual Conference on November 6-16 in Madrid, Spain. The ISAF Regulations require Council to present a list of equipment at this meeting and select the equipment for the 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition. The regulations require that the list shall include all equipment proposed through a valid submission, whether or not there is an event on the program suitable for the equipment proposed. The equipment list is: 29er XX, 470, 49er, Byte CII, Europe, Formula One Design, Finn, J/22, J/24, J/80, International Moth, Laser, Laser Radial, Laser SB3 (M), Musto Performance Skiff, RS: X, Sonar, Star, Ultimate 20 and Yngling. The multihull or catamaran equipment was to be selected from: Capricorn, F18, Hobie Tiger, Nacra F18 and Tornado. In addition submissions have been received for 'Sport boat', new ISAF Match Racing Design and Match Racing Equipment proposed by the 2012 Olympic Games organizer.

Council has approved the recommendation from the Events Committee on the voting procedure Council will use to decide the equipment in November 2008. Each event will be voted for individually, with a simple majority determining the equipment selected. If there is a tied vote, a 'run off' will be held between those two securing the highest number of votes. In the event of being unable to break a tie, the President will have the casting vote.

2,9 The Impiana adventure #2 (the Indian Ocean)
Four years ago, Andrew Findlay harbored a strong desire to do some serious ocean sailing and is now taking his Malaysian registered Beneteau 45f5 "Impiana" across the Indian Ocean to South Africa, with the view of entering the Cape to Bahia yacht race (previously known as the Cape to Rio) which historically kicks off in early January 2009. "G' day Marty, Despite all the Cruising Guides advising against taking a sailing boat around the top of Sumatra and traversing east to west across the northern parts of the Indian ocean this time of the year we are now 870NM East of Seychelles and the sordid details can be found at: http://asianyachting.com/news/Impiana.htm Cheers, Andy".

2.10 Tea Route record to come crashing down?
The maxi-catamaran in the colours of the LCF Rothschild Group was relaunched on Tuesday 5th August, in Hong Kong. After over a month on the hard and around 2 weeks’ refit, Gitana 13 set sail on this last challenge in their 2008 record campaign: the Tea Route; 15,000 miles to cover from Hong Kong to London, passing via the Sunda Strait (Indonesia) and then leaving the Cape of Good Hope to starboard. Lionel Lemonchois and his nine crewmen set off on this rather atypical course in the traces of the XIXth century clippers. As soon as they cast off from Hong Kong, Lionel Lemonchois’ men made quick work of crossing the South China Sea and then the Java Sea. From that point, Gitana 13 made its entrance into the Indian Ocean where they made record daily runs on the way to Cape of Good Hope, the promontory situated on the SW tip of Africa. Once this cape is in their wake, the ten sailors will begin their climb up the Atlantic Ocean, prior to entering the English Channel and the River Thames. What a programme!

2.11 Asians wanting more sailing action?

3.1 iShares Cup final showdown
Extreme 40s will go head-to-head at the iShares Cup finale in Amsterdam from 19th - 21st September. Alinghi won Round 4 of the iShares Cup at Kiel, their third title in a row on the European Extreme 40 sailing circuit. TEAMORIGIN and Alinghi are now tied on equal points with 36 points apiece in first place overall for the iShares Cup 2008. For TEAMORIGIN skipper Rob Greenhalgh the 2008 iShares Cup is unfinished business: "We're still joint leaders overall with Alinghi and it's all down to the last event. We're in it to win it so it's going to be all systems go in Amsterdam, we've got to beat Alinghi to win and bring the trophy home!" Thanks to a 3rd place on the double-points final race of the day, BT finished 4th at the Kiel regatta and this great performance has put them back in contention on the overall leaderboard.

3.2 Audi MedCup Circuit 2008 coming to an end
Jose Cusi's Bribon which is usually skippered by SM Juan Carlos, the King of Spain won the Region of Murcia Trophy by two points and regains second place overall on the Audi MedCup Circuit 2008. Fourth place for Terry Hutchinson (USA) and the crew of Quantum Racing (USA) has them leaving Murcia and head for the final regatta in the City of Portimao, Portugal (Sept 15 - 20) having extended their overall lead from 30 points to an almost unassailable 41.2 points. Cartagena delivered a whole new set of challenges to the TP52 fleet in testing winds on a challenging race arena, complemented ashore by a warm and very enthusiastic reception on the docksides and around the streets of an historic city. Portimao was one of the most popular venues on the Circuit last year as crews find the conditions challenging and a chance to venture into the Atlantic Ocean instead of the Mediterranean during the Circuit.

3.3 Warning to all offshore racers.
DK Yachts are warning all offshore racers to sit up and take notice when one of their World Champion Mumm 30, Farr 40, Farr 52 or Mills DK46 lines up on the starting grid. They just keep turning up and sailing away with all the major prizes. If your looking for proof, just ask Ray Roberts how Quantum Racing won four Asian regattas and placed second at two other events to become the 2007-08 AsianYachting Grand Prix Champions and don the ‘Blue Blazer’ at the lavish Koh Samui Regatta gala dinner and awards ceremony. This successful result confirms that DK46's are still head and shoulders above the rest, be it for offshore or inshore racing. Have you ordered one yet?

3.4 BMW Oracle's New Boat Unveiled
Anacortes, Washington, USA: BMW ORACLE Racing said today it was very pleased to confirm that after nine months of intense activity its team in Anacortes is in the final stages of preparing its new 90-foot X 90-foot multihull yacht for sailing. The carbon fiber trimaran emerged from under wraps at its purpose-built construction shed here for the first time. The yacht is a key element of the team's preparation for the next America's Cup, representing San Francisco's Golden Gate Yacht Club (GGYC), on which a ruling is expected from the New York State Court of Appeals in the next six months. The team partnered with Van Peteghem / Lauriot Prevost (VPLP) of France and one of the most successful skippers in multihull racing, Franck Cammas, to design the innovative trimaran. Led by Mark Turner and Tim Smyth, the construction team has worked in a purpose-built composite yacht construction facility housed in a 100-foot x 200-foot, three-story shed. Janicki Industries in nearby Sedro- Woolley provided high-tech precision tooling. More at: http://www.bmworacleracing.com

4. WORLD SPEED RECORDS

4.1 40m (131ft) Banque Populaire V launched
Pascal Bidegorry's new Banque Populaire V, the latest generation G-Class maxi-trimaran, emerged from her build shed at CDK Technologies following a 24-month build and is now in the water. Following on from Franck Cammas' 105ft (32m) Groupama III, this latest 'uber' multihull is even bigger. At 131ft (40m) long, the maxi-trimaran is the largest racing multihull ever built. Two years after the announcement of the project, Banque Populaire V was lowered into the water in Lorient. For its skipper Pascal Bidegorry, it was a carefully prepared operation: "The launching today pays tribute to a coordinated and committed team, and the reunion of the biggest French know-how in the field of marine construction."

5. "Unluckiest sailors of the month"

5.1 Spectacular cartwheel ends world speed record attempt
A sudden spectacular cartwheel has ended Wot Rocket’s first round of official attempts on the 500m world speed sailing record on Botany Bay. With the pod lifting out of the water on a number of occasions this morning and pilot Sean Langman’s confidence building, he decided to trial a different runway on flatter water just off Dolls Point. In an 18-20 knot westerly wind Wot Rocket accelerated to an estimated 30 knots of boat speed before the crew found themselves flying blind, without instruments and with co-pilot Joe De Jock unable to ease the wing sail and Langman unable to steer. “I tried to bear away and we fully pitch poled (end over end),” said Langman this afternoon, the adrenalin still pumping hard as he waited for a crane to help pull Wot Rocket apart for loading onto its trailer. “We went for the run of the day. It was the best nose dive I’ve ever done...and walked away from.” Until the project team fully investigates, the reason why Wot Rocket went belly up won’t be known. Langman’s hunch is that there was too much load on the front foil. More at: http://www.wotrocket.com/index.html

5.2 Crew rescued after yacht sinks in Coral Sea
The two crew of a yacht competing in the World ARC rally were rescued by helicopter on Sunday after they hit a reef in the Coral Sea. Asolare, an Amel 54, struck Moore Reef, approximately 52 nautical miles North West of Willis Island in the Coral Sea, whilst en route from Vanuatu to Australia. At 0830 Local time, skipper Peter Turner and crewman Tim Wood were winched aboard the helicopter, which latter landed the crew at Cairns. Peter is a veteran sailor with fifty years of experience. He said that Asolare, launched in June 2007, had been valued at $800,000 but was now unsalvageable. 'Nowhere is nice to smash into a reef,' he said. 'But if I had to choose somewhere this was as good a place as any. 'Our charts did not show any reef in that area at all. We hit the reef really heavily. There was an amazing crash and immediately she turned over on to her side.'
