The American sailor Terry Hutchinson joins Torbjorn Tornqvist's team Artemis as tactician and match race helmsman; a function he will share with the team's owner.

"The RC 44 should be very cool", he recently commented in Seahorse. "There is a combination of amateurs and professionals. I am aware that it is not the pros who make the difference but the amateurs. We will only be as good as the weakest part of the team so attention to detail is paramount."
