Match one pits England’s TeamOrigin versus start-up Russia Synergy with the warning signal scheduled for 09:00.

TeamOrigin features four-time Olympic medallist Ben Ainslie (GBR) as skipper and helmsman and two-time medallist Iain Percy (GBR) as tactician. The team is loaded with experience and placed fifth at tlvhe Louis Vuitton Pacific Series last February in New Zealand.

“We started well at that event but had our issues at the end,” said Ainslie. “The format here is different from in New Zealand since the home team doesn’t advance to the final, so every race counts. We’ll have to be wide awake tomorrow morning.”

Synergy is a new team from a country, Russia, not known for its louis vuitton handbagsexpertise in professional sailing. But the team has valued experience on the helm in Karol Jablonski of Poland and tactician Rod Dawson of New Zealand.

Jablonski led Spain’s Desafio Español to a third-place finish at the 2007 Louis Vuitton Cup while Dawson has won a plethora of match race regattas. Still, Synergy has its work cut out in its first appearance in America’s Cup sloops.

“It will be a great day for everyone. It’s the first time Russia sails sureplica gucci handbagsch a boat,” said Synergy general manager Maxim Logutenko. “We don’t think about the results tomorrow. It’s sport and we’ll try to beat them, but we don’t worry about the results. It’s a big day for Russia sailing.”

Synergy got a break at tonight’s draw for boats when it selected GBR-75 over FRA-93. GBR-75 was the preferred yacht for every team that got to choose. TeamOrigin, however, will enter the start box on the favoured starboard tack.

The wind tomorrow is expected to blow up to 15 knots in the morning before increasing to 25 knots or more in the afternoon. That might put an early halt to racing as the organisers are concerned with the sea state and the damage the AC sloops could incur from shock loading.

Other races scheduled tomorrow pit Emirates Team New Zealand against TFS – Pages Jaunes in match two and ALL4ONE against Artemis in match four.

Match three features BMW ORACLE Racing of the U.S. against Azzurra of Italy. BMW Oracle Racing is a founding member of the WSTA and a well-known brand in professional racing.

The Azzurra team enjoyed prominence in 1983 when it louis vuittonwas the first Italian syndicate to compete in the Louis Vuitton Cup. Now it has a new skipper and helmsman in Francesco Bruni (ITA), the 27th ranked match-racer on the ISAF Open Match Race Rankings list issued 28 October 2009. Bruni has the unenviable task of taking on the mighty BMW Oracle team.

“We have a double responsibility: to carry the Azzurra name and to take the fight to BMW Oracle,” said Bruni, from Palermo, Sicily. “We are very calm about our match tomorrow. We feel our training has gone well and we are comfortable with the manoeuvres. We feel we can face anyone and are happy to take on BMW Oracle.”

Azzurra will race GBR-75 while BMW Oracle, which will be helmed by Gavin Brady of New Zealand, will enter the start box at the starboard end.

The event schedule was thrown into flux this morning whlv bagsen ITA-99, one of two sloops on loan from Italy’s Mascalzone Latino team, was damaged during practice on the Bay of Angels.

“It’s an unfortunate situation, but these crews always push at the highest limits,” said Bruno Troublé, spokesperson for the WSTA. “Even in practice, they’re always trying to gain an edge. We’re confident that the boat can be repaired and will return to racing soon.”

The combined French/German team ALL4replica handbagsONE was sailing ITA-99 when it clipped the transom of the race committee boat. The mishap put a two-meter cut in the starboard side of the hull.

Twenty members of the Mascalzone shore team are on site and some have been working on the repair all day. The yacht could return to action as soon as Monday.

“It’s a practise accident, which is not good, we’re trying to make every effort to fix it,” said Jochen Schuemann (GER), ALL4ONE skipper. “There is a cut on the outer skin. It is a big cut but should be possible to fix.”

The grief continues for Ben Ainslie and his British America’s Cup challenger, Team Origin as theshanghai massagey lost a second race in the Louis Vuitton Trophy series in La Maddalena, Sardinia.


Their boat snagged a lobster pot line and the race against Sweden’s Artemis, skippered by Paul Cayard with Terry Hutchinson on the helm, was lost before it had even begun

Said Ainslie: “A real anti-climax of a race today, it was a really busy start area with lots of spectator boats around, large and small. We were approaching from outside the start box area and it was pbeijing massage retty hard to manoeuvre around them.

“We managed to avoid one boat and moving away from another we unfortunately caught a lobster pot. Craig Satterthwaite had to jump over the side with a knife to cut it clear and by the time we got it sorted, Artemis had a good lead.

“The guys did a great job in keeping the race close and did a very nice manoeuvre around the second windward mark but the race was decided by that unfortunate incident before the start.”

In Langenargen, the semi-final line up for Match Race Germany saw an antipodean half with Australia’s Torvar Mirsky against New Zealand’s Adam Minoprio and a European pairing as France’s Mathieu Richard faced Denmark’s Jesper Radich, who beat Britain’lv women bagss Ian Williams 3-2 in their quarter final.

A collision which crumpled the bow of one of the pair oGucci bagsf BMW Oracle America's Cup vessels being used to contest the Louis Vuitton Trophy regatta in La Maddalena, Sardinia, has seriously disrupted the race schedule for at least the next few days, but there was at least some more good news for skipper Ben Ainslie and the crew of Britain's Team Origin.


The crash came as Bertrand Pace, at the helm for French team Aleph, tried to duck behind the stern of the Azzurra team boat but instead whacked the stern of his Italian rival.

Much blowing of whistles and waving of penalty flags, including a black disqualifilvcation flag for Pace, was overshadowed by both boats having to return to the dock, be hauled out, and handed over to the shore repair teams.

While all the drama was focussed on the start line, Ainslie was involved in a mighty tussle with the German-French team All4One, having first to block them at the top turning mark and then being chased all the way home to win by just five seconds.

But a win is a win and that gave Britain a 2-3 record in a bid first to make the top eight of the 10 teams, all with America's Cup challenge hopes, and so avoid the cut which would mean exclusion from the quarter finals.

Not expecting to be similarly threatened is Emirates Team New Zealand, but a combination of typically intuitive tacticalouis vuitton bagsl choices by Brazilians Torben Grael and Robert Scheidt, plus an untypical fluff in sail handling, saw helmsman Ed Baird take Luna Rossa through the finish 15 seconds ahead.

Optimism was the word from the Royal Yachting Association after the coalition government announcement that arts and sports spending faced an £83m cut. "Clearly, in such testing times, there is the need for all to take a good look at spending, but certainly the high performance sports community is ready to fight its corner," said a spokesman.

Typically, Carcelle won't talk or, heaven forfend, boast about himself and his accomplishments, only the business. For the record, he's married with five children, lives in Paris, is a passionate ocean-racing sailor, was educated at the elite Polytechnique in Paris, obtained an MBA from Insead, and Gucci bagsworked for Descamps household textiles before joining LVMH as strategy director in 1989 and taking over the running of Louis Vuitton in 1990. That's pretty much all he will say.

Back to Louis Vuitton. e're never on sale,?says Carcelle. ll the rest discount. Us, never. We sell only in our own stores. All our stores are operated by us and no one else.?It's straightforward, he says: hen a customer invests in one of our products they don't expect to see it discounted three weeks later, so we don't do it. We don't issue licences, we don't have distribution agreements. We've 448 stores.

We're the biggest luxury goods brand in the world and the most exclusive. We provide perfect protection LV Handbagsfor our customers ?the only way they can be sure they're buying a genuine Louis Vuitton product is if they buy it within one of our stores. If they buy outside, it's a fake.

To that end, he wishes society would do more to clampdown on counterfeiting. He tells how he was on holiday, sailing in Turkey, and went to the local market, found it was full of bogus Louis Vuitton bags and got on to headquarters in Paris.
e act wherever we find faking nywhere in the world, we will go after the people responsible. To be fair, globally, governments are getting stronger and stronger in their pursuit of the forgers. Often, it's not the government, though, but the local police chief who isn't interested. But you can't claim a counterfeited product doesn't matter when it's been made by child labour and the criminal organisation behind it is also into drugs, prostitution and worse

For once, the understated Carcelle can't hide his annoyance. e live in a world that tries to protect people mlv bagsore and more but at the same time we're tolerating products that are often made by children working in terrible conditions.

We've seen riots in Greece ?the company's store in the centre of Athens had to close for a while ?and ever since the banking collapse began, the worldwide anti-rich mood has been growing. Some might suggest that now is hardly the best time to be launching such a store? Carcelle shrugs a Gallic shrug. e're luxury but we're not known for over-the-top opulence. We're known for craftsmanship, history and lasting for ever. If you buy a Louis Vuitton bag you're buying an object that will last 20 years and more. You will still be in love with it then.?He smiles. the zip goes, we will replace it. You will still be as attached to it as the day you bought it ?perhaps even more so
