Hyères

Hyères, France - Alinghi and Teamorigin dominated the fleet at the iShares cup in France which wrapped up yesterday. Both sailing teams won three races on the last day of racing in a cup which has seen some of the highest winds, dramatic capsizes, and near misses, ever seen at an iShares cup event.

Hyères, France - As the fleet of Extreme 40's prepare for tomorrow's second leg of the iShares cup, thoughts are on yesterday's capsize of Holmatro and today's capsize of TEAM ORIGIN, and what these calamities predict for tomorrow's racing. There is, after all, a reason these boats are called "Extreme."
