Ben Ainslie and his team showed grit and tenacity to win the Oman stop on the America’s Cup World Series. After getting a third and two firsts in Saturday’s races, they had poor starts in all three double points races on Sunday, including two OCS* penalties. On Sunday they were in last place at the first mark in each race but clawed their way back to finish those races 2-4-3 to win the regatta. With this win they become the first team to win two ACWS events.
*OCS = on course side, meaning they crossed the starting line before the starting signal. The penalty is to drop two boat lengths behind all the boats that started correctly.

Bermuda’s project for approximately eight acres of infill in the South Basin at Dockyard is progressing as this January photo showed.
The area in the center of this diagram is the AC Village that will be built on the infill in the South Basin. The colored spaces labelled 1, 2 and 14 are the bases for Artemis Racing, Emirates Team New Zealand and the Youth America’s Cup teams respectively. The race course finish line shown here is about 300 meters from the AC Village. You can see a bigger image and download the full diagram here.
