Palma & San Remo “Round Up”…
After the rains & light winds of yesterday there were 3 nice & sunny races in Palma today (Sat 24th) with POR 64 “Lady Tati” scoring 1st, 2nd, 1st to lead overall. Patrick de Barros, (crewed by Alvaro Marinho & Rodrigo Vantacich), is participating in his 38th Princess Sophia… quite a record I’m sure :-). Close behind Patrick are ESP 71 Javier Scherk & DEN 266 Frank Berg, so its all on tomorrow….
Meanwhile over in San Remo.
Conditions were again tough with strong winds & major wind shifts at Italian Championships.
After a General Recall at the start of Race 2 of the Italian Championships the “U” Flag was used for the re-start, which saw two of yesterday’s leaders over the line at the Pin End! Yes, both TUR 1212 & GER 1177 were both UFD.
GER 1068 “Dottore Amore” helmed by Ingo Ehrlicher, crewed by Thomas (the Tank) Auracher & former World Champion Malte Philipp took full advantage to record a 1st and a 2nd in the two races. This top team now hold a comfortable overall lead on just 7 points, from UAE 8 helmed by our “Current” World Champion Yevgeni Braslavets, crewed by Deigo Negri & Eugeni Kushienko in 2nd (12pts) and FRA 391 Jean Breger, with Gaetan Aunette & Christian Gout in 3rd (19pts).
Event organiser Umberto Zocca Di Montelupo told me “Tomorrow we will finish with 2 more Races which will allow for a Discard”. He continued, “Tonight there will be a Lottery Prize of a Pyramid of Wine! Yes 100 bottles of different Italian Wine from Sicily, Tuscany & Piedmont”… Pity I am not there! 🙂
Higher, Faster, Longer………….. Stavros.
