A winner but more action at the back (1,082 Days Ago)

(1,082 Days Ago)
Basilica leading in race 2 but have terouble with a kite roll. BT, Team Blue and Holmatro coming round the mark now looking for space on the course. Boats missing each other by centimetres out on the course keeping the hair on your neck upright.

Taking the middle road (1,082 Days Ago)
Sticking to the centre of 200 metre wide ccourse seems to be the best option as these big gusts are unpredictable and can catch you out. Lots of hull flying and as the gennakers unroll lots of fast paced sailing.

(1,082 Days Ago)

(1,082 Days Ago)
1, 2 for Holmatro and Team SLAM as they lead the fleet around the top mark. Very gusty racing with bullets of wind firing down the 600 metre long 200 metre across course. Holmatro, home favourites have extended to a convincing lead.

Racing away (1,082 Days Ago)
All clear on the line as Holmatro heat up the pace squeezing between two boats with pace on.

Race one in sequence (1,082 Days Ago)
Nice wind at 10-12 knots as expected on the course. With the kites up these boats are going to fly today. Let's hope they keep their noses clean and stay out of trouble.

Another injury for JPMorgan Asset Management (1,082 Days Ago)
Currently sitting out of the water, JPMorgan Asset Management are undergoing more repairs after a rib drove under their flying hull causing damage. The team, who have suffered bad luck at this event, are hoping to be on the water in time for racing.

The fight for the top slot.... (1,082 Days Ago)
All the boats have all been craned back in the inner harbour and after a quick lunch will be ready for the afternoon racing. Holmatro currently lead the fleet but only by one point so will be looking to keep hold of the pole position. Basilica, not used being out of the top slot will be fighting hard to supress the Dutch team, while BT Better World will hope to take an advantage the the two leaders fight between themselves. Racing starts at 1400.

Swimming at the iShares Cup (1,082 Days Ago)
At a sailing event, especially one with eight high performance boats racing in a small space you expect to see lots of action on the water; however the iShares Cup, Amsterdam is not only delivering the on the water activity but also in the water activity as sailors and support staff have been swimming over the two day event.

Rob Greenhalgh, skipper of Basilica went for a brief swim as a result for his collision with JPMorgan Asset Management. This morning, Holmatro's guest liaison took a quick dip in the ij Haven canal. While watching a fast approaching JPMorgan Asset Management fly a hull in exhibition racing, Reineke Boot jumped off the rib in a moment of panic. She came off the water laughing at her own mistake and looking for a place to dry out her mobile phone.

Seven Races to complete the series (1,082 Days Ago)
Seven races are needed to complete the 18 race schedule and the race committee are feeling optimistic as Alan Hillman explains. "We should have good wind today, similar to day one so we're hopeful that we will be able to complete the series. Racing should exciting today, let's just hope that the boat damage is kept to a minimum."

Good conditions for Day 3 (1,082 Days Ago)
10-12 knots from the south-west are expected today on the ij Haven, home of the iShares Cup, Amsterdam. The points remain close with Holmatro still leading the event but only one point separates the Dutch team from overall series winners Basilica who have won every event in 2007. Can the Dutch team keep hold of the Amsterdam event title? Check back at 1400 when racing starts.

Leaders around the mark (1,083 Days Ago)
Volvo Ocean Race in the lead with Basilica and a BT sporting a JPMorgan Asset Management sized dent in back corner of her port hull in third.

Bang! (1,083 Days Ago)
JPMorgan prang into the back of BT. Robertson who was on starboard seems to be making sailing a contact sport and one wonders how badly she tried to avoid the collision. Regardless one thinks that BT were in the wrong. The umpires will decide.

Penalty! (1,083 Days Ago)
A rule infringement for Team SLAM finds them with a penalty as a lucky puff up the back of the fleet puts BT and Team Blue back with the fleet. Volvo Ocean Race looking good at the front of the fleet with Holmatro and Basilica fight for second.

And they are off (1,083 Days Ago)
Building breeze on the course looks promising for afternoon exhibition sailing and night racing. Race 4 off to a good start with Team Blue and BT over early. Lots of shouting from Shirley Robertson's boat as they call for room for a clear start.

Another race to start shortly (1,083 Days Ago)

(1,083 Days Ago)

Race 4 about to start (1,083 Days Ago)

Racing postponed until further notice. (1,083 Days Ago)

Denmark victorious (1,083 Days Ago)
Team SLAM Denmark have scored their first win of the iShares Cup Series. After four events and several close calls the team let out a massive cheer 'DENMARK!' When they finish the race and are met with applause from the watching crowd. An incredible achievement for this amateur team.

Different strokes for different folks (1,083 Days Ago)
With light winds the order of the day, popping the top batten on the mainsail is proving to be a subject of team work. Each team does it differently with JPMorgan Asset Management committing three of their four to the task while Team Blue opt to put a single man in charge of the job. Racing close to the shore allows the public to observe these differences, to hear the crews communicating on board to to get an inside look at professional athletes doing what they do best.

Snakes and ladders (1,083 Days Ago)
We have quite a race out on the coursem. Really shifty and light winds mean you can win or loose up to two places on a single wind shift alone. JPMorgan Asset Management, Tommy Hilfiger and Holmatro are shuffling positions but Team SLAM and Team Blue are also in the mix. This race could belong to anyone.

At a snail's pace (1,083 Days Ago)
A very split fleet sees BT and Volvo Ocean Race drifting slowly just off the startline while the remaining six boats(JPMorgan Asset Management are back in the pack) half way up the 600 metre beat. They are still close but in Extreme 40 racing mistskes are punished so a bad move, loss of speed can make all the difference.

Racing back to back (1,083 Days Ago)
Race three has started in these prevailing light winds. After a lot of jostling for position at the pre start, Tommy Hilfiger had a hot start.

Tommy triumphant (1,083 Days Ago)
Tommy Hilfiger take their first win of the day and their swecond of the event. A repaired gennaker furler has put them back in this event after sailing with the problem yesterday. BT take second and Basilica third.

(1,083 Days Ago)
A big shift at the windward mark gives BT the advantage they have been looking for and round the last mark before the finishing leg of the race. The wind dropped at the mark and all the boats bunch up.

American acceleration (1,083 Days Ago)
Tommy have stuck their nose in front with helmsman Rady Smyth seeming to enjoy these light conditions. They are keeping a close eye on the chasing pack as Holmatro and BT push to close the very limited gap.

Three at the top (1,083 Days Ago)
Three boats fighting to be the leader of this race. BT are currently holding the advantage but Tommy and Holmatro are not about to sit this one out with Holmatro looking like they have more boatspeed than heer rivals.

Race 2 will again see light winds (1,083 Days Ago)
Another slow race has started with BT claiming the beat start and much needed claer air. Lots of calling for room as the boats approach the canal wall and a penalty is given to Volvo Ocean Race. Notably JPMorgan Asset Management has not started this race as the crew continue to tidy up their boat.

JPMorgan Asset Management afloat (1,083 Days Ago)
Joing the fellt for race 2 is JPMorgan Asset Management. Fresh from the boat surgeon both the boat and her crew are raring to go.

Race 1 decided (1,083 Days Ago)
With more wind at the top of the course the fleet are starting to spread out at the leaders getr speed. Basilica have a convincing win while Team Blue have slipped further down the fleet letting Holmatro take the second place spot. Team Blue settle for third.

Basilica muscle in (1,083 Days Ago)
Basilica seem to have made the right choice and are leading the fleet slowly up the beat.

Split at the gate (1,083 Days Ago)
30 seconds behind Team Blue, Basilica choose to take the opposite gate and had for the other side of the course but with only 200 metres of space between canal walls will different sides make a difference?

Team Blue in the lead (1,083 Days Ago)
A clear start has proven its advantages as Team Blue lead around the top mark followed by fellow Brits Basilica. The boats will have to sail their angles to get to the next mark quickly.

Race One has started in very light winds (1,083 Days Ago)
Race one underway with seven boats on the course with JPMorgan Asset Management sitting this one out as her repairs continue to dry. A very slow start from the fleet with Volvo Ocean Race over early and having to come back and recross the line.

Racing due to start soon (1,083 Days Ago)
Enjoyable VIP guest racing in brilliant sunshine and a light breeze - a gentle introduction to the world of Extreme 40s compared to yesterday's high octane start. The scoring races of day 2 are due to start at 1200 local time .

The frustration of a sailor left on shore (1,083 Days Ago)
ABN AMRO skipper Jonnie Hutchcroft is land-based for the iShares Cup, Amsterdam. Unable to arrange for a crane and transport of his Extreme 40 which is currently in Monaco, the sailor was unable to stay away and is here in Amsterdam as a spectator, a role he is finding difficult. "I've been watching from the side of the canal and this event is just amazing. It's really hard to be standing here and not sailing. I'm just itching to get out there. It's really made me think about the 2008 season and I know I will be doing everything I can to make sure our boat is on the start-line for each event."

Anything for the perfect shot (1,083 Days Ago)
Morning sailing is off to a good start with all teams on the water practicing for scoring racing which starts at 1200, although this morning Team Blue are doing something unsual with their media guests. So far this morning both a photographer and a cameraman have been up their mast dangling nearly 19 metres above the water in search of the perfect angle. Check our image gallery later today to see the results.

Lighter is easier (1,083 Days Ago)
BT Better World skipper, Nick Moloney: "Things are going to be easier for everyone today as the conditions are lighter, it gives you more time to make decisions. We're 4th overall going into day 2 and we'll be keeping an eye on Holmatro and Volvo Ocean Race as they can both make the podium for the overall series, plus Tommy Hilfiger who had problems yesterday. The tables can turn very quickly in this game and Randy Smyth is awesome in the light stuff."

Weather (1,083 Days Ago)
Lighter conditions are forecast for day 2 with a gentle 3-5 knots of breeze from the west throughout the day, then increasing to 8-9 knots from the south-west for tonight's exhibition racing. Less speed might come as a relief to some of the crews as hurtling towards concrete walls on this canal is an adrenalin-rushing experience as the guys found out yesterday.

JPMorgan Asset Management all patched up but will she sail? (1,083 Days Ago)
After a long night of repairs to JPMorgan Asset Management, the boat is just a gel coat short of being ready for launch. The crane is booked for 10am to put the rig back in and the boat in the water. Racing starts at 12 so it will be a race against time for this British team as they attempt to get the boat completed in time for scoring races.

Race six is a race for Bailica (1,084 Days Ago)
A slightly damaged Basilica wins race six with Holmatro in second and Team Blue in third.

(1,084 Days Ago)

(1,084 Days Ago)
As it starts to rain Volvo Ocean Race take the lead in a hotly contested race.

(1,084 Days Ago)
When Team Blue straddling the mark the rest of the fleet sail past with Basilica Volvo Ocean Race and Holmatro fighting for line honours.

Penalties a plenty (1,084 Days Ago)

(1,084 Days Ago)

All boats preparing for the third race of the day (1,084 Days Ago)

A very close excellent day of racing with all the boats racing on a 200 metre piece of water. Team Holmatro are having a solid day on homewaters. Tommy Hilfiger have had a race win and a last due to kite failure, while Team SLAM have posted a second, an excellent result for the team

Race 1 (1,084 Days Ago)
Race one saw a win for Tommy Hilfiger with Basilica in second and Holmatro in third.

Unpredictable winds (1,084 Days Ago)
Just off the water, Ellen MacArthur gives us her views on the venue for the iShares Cup, Amsterdam. "It's pretty unpredictable out there. The wind is bouncing around and there no real way to predict where the gusts will be. This is a really small racing area so the competition will be close, hairy and exciting."

10-12 knots and an extended series of races (1,084 Days Ago)
With 10-12 knots of wind predicted to hit the ij Haven in time of this afternoon's racing, the race committee are aiming to complete six races on the first day of competition.

Smyth led the Tommy Hilfiger team to victory during the 2005-2006 series so will tell if the team can blow away some old cobwebs and get back on winning form.

Day one dawns on the iShares Cup, Amsterdam (1,084 Days Ago)
