Having won the Rolex Middle Sea Race twice and narrowly missing out on victory at this year’s Aegean 600, Lee Satariano has focused on refining his current Artie, an HH42, and its crew for peak performance.
Reflecting on Artie III’s performance in the Aegean 600, Lee noted that while the crew excelled and the boat thrived under ideal conditions, the race highlighted areas for improvement.
“This experience was crucial for Artie III’s preparation and resulted in a detailed list of tasks aimed at enhancing the boat’s performance for this year’s campaign,” Lee noted.
Regarding Artie III’s crew, the core team remains largely the same, with a few strategic adjustments planned to enhance their approach. This includes forming two strong teams for different shifts throughout the race, leveraging their collective skills and character to ensure a cohesive and effective unit.
