Nautica Digital Europe Sports Highlights Sailing

The whims of the wind delayed the start of the second day of competition until well into the afternoon, but the nine classes were able to complete the program planned.... The Soho Caixabank Theatre by Javier Banderas is located as the best boat of the week after adding four partial wins of four possible in BMW class ORC 2

After its punctuality in the premiere of the 39 Cup of King Mapfre, today the wind took time to settle in the bay of Palma. The Regatas and Fleet Committee was able to wait until the conditions were in place, and finally the planned program could be completed: two sleeves in all categories except the Majorca Sotheby's Women's Cup and Herbalife Nutrition J70, convened for three.

The leaders at the end of the second day are: Alegre in class IRC I, Hatari in ClubSwan 50, Natalia of ClubSwan 42, G Spot in ClubSwan 36, From Now On in BMW ORC 1, Soho Caixabank Theatre in BMW ORC 2, Laplaza Assessors in BMW ORC 3, Profand - RFGV - Galician Sport in Mallorca Sotheby's Women's Cup and Patakin in Herbalife Nutrition J70.

In class IRC 1, the Alegre de Andrés Soriano remains at the forefront of the classification. The British TP52 added to the first test its third consecutive partial triumph, but in the next one it lost its unbeatable with a third after suffering an incident with its bow candle. The Paprec Recyclage of Stephane Neve did not waste the occasion and kept distances with his rival after adding the same four points (3 + 1).

In ClubSwan 50, Marcus Brennecke's Hatari went out into the undefeated water and managed to stay at the front of the table despite not repeating the perfection of the inaugural day (he noted 3 + 3). The best boat of the day was Andrea Massi's Ulika. The Italian ship, which has on board the Spanish Olympic double medalist Iker Martínez, has added a first and a second, although still weighed the discreet results of the first day (15 + 12) and occupies the fifth provisional position. The Spanish Tenaz of Pablo Garriga won the last manga of the day and is sixth of the provisional.

Long day at the 39 Cup of King MAPHRE. The first departure of the day was scheduled for 13: 00, but it would be necessary to wait until shortly before 4: 00 in the afternoon to have the nine classes in motion. Once again, patience had its reward, and after the effort of all the fleet returned to the RCNP with the duties done. At the end of the second day, they all accumulate four partials except the female class and the J70, which add up to six.

In ClubSwan 42, George Brailoiu's Natalia was sufficient to repeat yesterday's (4 + 1) partials to ascend to the first position in his plan to defend title 2019. The Romanian ship alternated results with the Nadir del mallorquín Pedro Vaquer (1 + 4), which came to the front in the provisional after the first manga of the day and is second, two points from the leader.

The G Spot was able to defend his ClubSwan 36 leadership with another good day. Giangiacomo Serena's ship signed a third and first to extend its rent to eight points on the Farstar (5 + 3). In the fight for the second position there are five ships in only three points.

In BMW ORC 1, the Swan 45From Now On of Argentina's Fernando Chain signed a good day (1 + 2) and is the new leader of the category. The Aifos 500 is kept second, now 3.5 points from the first. Today, the ship of the Spanish Navy did not count on board with Don Felipe, but Jaime Rodríguez Touges was able to defend his position on the provisional by signing a seventh and a third.

At BMW ORC 2, the Swan 42 Soho Caixabank Theatre continues to add partial wins and is the only team that remains imbued after two days. Javier Banderas's boat has four first, a performance that allows you to highlight as the best of the entire fleet and by way to extend to six points the advantage over its immediate persecutor, the Grand Soleil 43 M8 of the Frances brothers.

In BMW ORC 3, the Laplaza Assessors was held in front by Carlos Rodríguez, who today signed a perfect day with a first time. The 2019 champion already has ten points of advantage over the Medilevel of Nacho Campos (4 + 2).

The Mallorca Sotheby's Women's Cup class shows an interesting battle to three in the fight for the first position. In addition to the three partials of the day, the Patricia Suárez Profand (2 + 8 + 2) retains the lead, although now for the minimum on the best ship of the day, the Dorsia Covirán de Ana Pujol and Nuria Suárez (1 + 1 + 4). Third is the Basque Decoexsa of Olatz Muñoz (4 + 5 + 5), to a point of the Catalan team and to two of the Galician.

Also for the minimum lead the Patakin of Luis Albert Solana (6 + 2 + 1) in Herbalife Nutrition class J70 ahead of Willy Alonso's Lone 70 (2 + 1 + 6).

2021 / 07 / 02: The great show of the heavy candle... the King's Cup begins in Palma

The expected return to the competition of the MAPHRE King's Cup met expectations, and the nine classes were able to complete their program in excellent wind conditions that confirm the magnificent reputation of Palma Bay

The 39 Copa del Rey Mapfre began with a new Embat day that allowed to complete the planned program: two tests for all classes except Mallorca Sotheby's Women's Cup and Herbalife Nutrition J70, which could fight up to three.

The first day of the ever spectacular ClubSwan 50 confirmed the excellent shape of the current world champion of the category, Marcus Brennecke's Hatari. The German ship gave no choice to its rivals and returned to boxes with an immaculate card: two wins of two possible. The lack of regularity of the rest of the fleet allows the leader to face the second day with five points of advantage over his immediate pursuit, the Russian Bronenosec 50 of Polina Lyubomirova (3 + 4). The Tenaz de Pablo Garriga, the only Spanish representative of the class, is fifth (11 + 3).

A single point separates both at the end of the day, ahead of the Spanish Nadir de Pedro Vaquer (5 + 2).

In the premiere of the ClubSwan 36 class, the G Spot of Giangiancomo Serena begins as a leader after scoring a second and a first. The Monegasque ship, which comes from winning the last event of the class in Sardinia, leads ahead of the Italians Farstar of Lorenzo Mondo, who could not recover from an off-line in the second manga (1 + 6), and Thirtysix of Edoardo Ferragamo (3 + 4).

The Aifos 500 Patronized by King Philip VI occupies the second provisional position in the competing BMW ORC 1 class

The BMW ORC 1 competition was led by Alberto Magnani's Swan 45 Tengher, who added a first and a second. The Aifos 500 of the Spanish Navy, patronized today by King Philip VI, holds the second position after signing an excellent day in which it was from less to more: fourth in the initial test and victory in the second.

In BMW ORC 2 the same ship that led the first day of 2019, the Soho Caixabank Theatre of Javier Banderas, begins in the head. The Swan 42 patroniado by Daniel Cuevas seeks to recover from the second position of the last edition, and was imposed on both tests to lead the provisional with four income points in front of the Defcom Seguridad de Pedro Gil (4 + 2).

In BMW ORC 3, the largest class of this edition (18 ships), the best of the day was the title defender, the Laplaza Assessors of Carlos Rodríguez. Synergy 40 Mod. confirmed the importance of regularity in such a wide fleet, making good its two seconds to lead the classification with four income points on Ignacio Zalvide's Foster Swiss (4 + 4). The partial victories of the day were the Vell Mari of Pedro Cabrer (eleventh by a DNF in the second manga) and the Scugnizza of Vincenzo de Blasio (eighth by a 16 in the first).

The Mallorca Sotheby's Women's Cupse class premiered with the J80 monotypes confirming early equality by its protagonists after Sunday's training day. Three teams distributed the victories of the day, and the fleet returned to port with a tie at the front of the provisional between the Profand of the Galician Patricia Suárez (1 + 3 + 2) and the Decoexsa of the current world champion of J80, the Basque Olatz Muñoz (2 + 1 + 3).

The Herbalife Nutrition J70 debut allowed the Mallorcan Patakin Luis Albert Solana to become the first class leader in Palma waters after signing a third and two first.
