Artemis Racing began an intense two-boat training session earlier this week in Valencia, following the acquisition of a second AC45 last month.
"We've only been sailing the two AC45s for four days, but we've learned a great deal. Possibly more than in the three America's Cup World Series Regattas we've competed in. There is a tremendous amount to learn about the wing and the sail set up in particular. It is still early days and we have a mountain of work ahead, plus strong competition," said Terry Hutchinson, Skipper - Artemis Racing.
Training continues on Monday for the Swedish team, Challenger of Record for the 34th America's Cup.
