TP52 Super Series Cascais Day 3 & 4

The boat of the day, Bronenosec-Gazprom, mooves good steps forward in the ranking.

Racing today at the Egnos 52 Super Series Cascais Cup was called off due to very unstable conditions.

Azzurra, the boat flying the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda’s burgee, has begun the Egnos 52 Super Series Cascais Cup in the best possible way with wins in both of today’s races. 

Day 5 provided the fleet with races 9 & 10, both in a huge seaway of 2-3 meters from the north. The wind in the first race was north northeast between 10 and 14 knots and the wind in the second race started at 16 knots and dropped to 6 knots. It was anything but straight forward out there for both tacticians and sail trimmers

With a well deserved win in the first race of the day, the boat flying the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda's burgee consolidated her second place and is on the podium of the 52 World Championship, won by Quantum Racing. Five wins in ten races weren't enough to beat the American team aboard Quantum, but Azzurra defended her title honorably, got a podium finish and is in second place in the 52 Super Series.

Bronenosec Gazprom concludes in fifth place.

Two races were held today off the east coast of Menorca. There was a big wind shift between the two races and the Race Committee did a good job being patient and waiting for the front to pass and the wind to settle.

Azzurra, the the sporting symbol of the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, is in second place with one day of racing still to go at the 52 World Championship thanks to two fabulous wins in today's races.

An amazing day of sailing has just finished in Mahon, despite the unsteady weather conditions, the shifty wind that obliged the Race Committee to move the course completely between race one and race two, and the waves that have been progressively swelling all through the afternoon.

Azzurra wins one of the two races of the day, the coastal race, and is currently in second place behind Quantum Racing.

After a long day of sailing, where the crews were out in the water for almost six hours, racing in a windward-leeward and in a seventeen-miles-long coastal regatta, some changes to the ranking of this 52 World Championship of Mahon have occurred.

If forecasts hold out as expected, then Wednesday – the first racing day – promises a sparkling start to this much anticipated World Championship with winds over 20kts expected on what is expected to be a bumpy, lumpy relatively exposed race arena
