Sailing it for the first time on Wednesday, the team had the giant catamaran up on its foils in winds as strong as 15 knots, a tremendous accomplishment. "Today could not have gone any better. It was a perfect day and exactly what our team needed," said helmsman Nathan Outteridge. "We got the boat on the water and foiling and we're happy with how it was foiling... It's a massive tribute to all the guys who have been working so hard to get us back out there." While Artemis Racing had an impressive first day out, caution is the word from the team. The sailors say there is a lot to learn and test before the team is ready to join Luna Rossa and Emirates Team New Zealand on the racecourse. The Swedish team has marked the first day of the Louis Vuitton Cup semi finals, August 6, as its target date for racing. It says any participation in one of the final Round Robin races would be an unexpected bonus. w.facebook.com/americascup www.twitter.com/americascup www.twitter.com/americascupLIVE (live race tweets) www.americascup.tumblr.com www.pinterest.com/americascup Instagram @americascup Join the AC Crew, official fan club of 34th America's Cup http://sf.americascup.com/crew Shop the America's Cup store, featuring PUMA http://shop.americascup.com/
