How the Louis Vuitton Cup changed the sport
The handsome, clean cut man with dark hair said training for the America’s Cup differs from training for Olympic rowing in that rowing is more endurance and grinding is more of a sprint. Grinders crank continually during the race and only vary intensity from a jog to a run, Waddell told media. He also eats a lot, saying he’s on the “see food” diet, “I see food and I eat it”. About sailing solo, he mentioned noticing when Luna Rossa sailed next to them, saying he looked over and noticed another huge boat next to Emirates. Other than that comment about having more than one super catamaran on the course, he said the challengers tend to look alike even though there’s nothing else like them on the Bay, saying “there’s a lot of big black boats on the water”. Wind speed on the foggy morning approached the 20 knot limit and the sun burned through by the time the race finished. Emirates turned toward the audience at the end of Pier 27/29 and the crewmen waved from just yards away during their fly-by.

Nomura Reiterates “Buy” Rating for LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA (MC)
We were down 1-3 and couldn’t afford any more mistakes. Even so, we missed our start and took off several lengths behind the Americans – it couldn’t have looked any worse. But we were ready for war, and we summoned up the strength to come back 2-3, and then equalize at 3-3.” On Sept. 26, 1983, Bertrand carried off a victory that was celebrated for months in Australia and lamented for four years in America (until Conner won the trophy back in 1987). Conner said that the Louis Vuitton Cup always provided great preparation for the America’s Cup races and that winning the Cup back from Australia was one of the greatest moments of his life. “We were hailed visit this page as heroes back in the United States,” Conner said. “We were honored with a parade in New York and a reception at the White House.” San Francisco skipper Paul Cayard , now CEO of Artemis Racing, won the Louis Vuitton Cup finals in 1992 as helmsman of the Italian team, Il Moro di Venezia , against Team New Zealand.
The materials library has a giant colour card on the wall marked s/s 14 – the beginnings of the collection that will be unveiled on the catwalk in September. Models on the catwalk at the Louis Vuitton Paris Fashion Week show. Perhaps the most intriguing space is the Quality Lab, which is like a torture chamber for shoes. This clinical white space has machines designed to put the shoes through a series of rigorous trials. There is the abrasion test, which sees what will happen when a particularly tough denim cuff hits the back of a shoe; the rub test, which examines how artificial sweat affects the colour of a shoe; and a sandpaper roll, to see how rubber soles wear – the equivalent of being dragged along by a car for 40 metres (don’t ask what the average Louis Vuitton customer gets up to). There is also the heel-fatigue test, which sees a hammer bashing away at a heel 14,000 times, and a heel-pull-off machine, which replicates the stress on a stiletto stuck between cobblestones. And, increasingly important considerating the global market in which Louis Vuitton operates, is the climatic chamber, which looks like an industrial oven. When I visited it was set to 95 per cent humidity and 50C heat to see how a shoe would fare in Hong Kong. The same shoe will have to withstand -20C in northern China, or the super-hot and dry conditions of Dubai (although how much time the average Dubai LV woman spends outside an air-conditioned environment is negligible).
