2021 / 08 / 06: With nothing decided tomorrow ends the Cup of the King of Sailing in Palma

Completed the fifth day of competition in Palma, the battle for the 39 Cup of the King MAPHRE remains open in eight of the nine participating classes... the title will be decided tomorrow to a single letter.

The penultimate day of competition consisted of two tests that have just defined the identity of the candidates for title 2021. In the absence of the only assault scheduled for tomorrow, only IRC class 1 has resolved title 2021. The emotion is maximum in the other eight classes, which show fragile leaders and a lot of aspirants with longing for victory. We will have to wait for the last stretch of the last manga of the championship to know the identity of the champions.

The leaders for the last day of competition are: Alegre in class IRC I, Earlybird in ClubSwan 50, Natalia in ClubSwan 42, G Spot in ClubSwan 36, Hydra in BMW ORC 1, Soho Caixabank Theatre in BMW ORC 2, El Carmen Elite Sails in BMW ORC 3, Dorsia Coviran Sailing Team in Mallorca Sotheby's Women's Cup and Let It Be in Herbalife Nutrition J70.

Emotion to the end
The day began with ground deferral. The wind took a little longer than expected, but when the ships went out into the water, the Embat worked intensively around the nine knots to meet the planned two-sleeves program in all classes. Once again, Palma Bay honoured its reputation.

In IRC 1, the Alegre de Andrés Soriano is the only one in the fleet that already has the title mathematically secured. Today, the infallible British TP52 was again imposed on the two contested sleeves, which allows it to be placed out of the range of the immediate persecute, the Freccia Rossa of Vadim Yakimenko (3 + 4 today), facing the last dance.

In ClubSwan class 50, the Earlybird of Hendrik Brandis, which came out into the water in an adjusted first provisional position, scored two seconds and faces the end of tomorrow with three points of advantage over Marcus Brennecke's Hatari (5 + 1). The emotion is maximum in the absence of a single sleeve, especially in such a large fleet (16 ships) and in which five teams have already joined partial victories this week.

ClubSwan class 42 continues to lead the 2019 champion. The Natalia of George Brailoiu resolved the day with a first and a second, and has six points of advantage over the April Fish of José María Meseguer (6 + 1). The Nadir of Pedro Vaquer, who was leaving the RCNP this morning tied with the leader, complicated his victory options (2 + 9) and faces the final eight points from the head.

In ClubSwan 36, the G Spot is still on the front but has given up part of its mattress by completing the most discreet day of the week (2 + 3). The best of the day was the Farstar of Lorenzo Mondo, with two triumphs that allow him to stalk the leader and stand at four points. Third, outside the struggle for the title, it is the Thirtysix of Giangiacomo Serena (3 + 6).

New perfect day for the Hydra in BMW ORC 1 class. The DK46 of Óscar Chaves, patented by Fernando León, took advantage of the two cartridges available to add two more first and extend its advantage to the front of the provisional, which now leads by six points in front of Fernando Chain's From Now On (4 + 2). The Aifos 500 of the Spanish Navy, again patronized by King Philip VI, added a sixth and a fourth, and faces the final from the fourth position.

In BMW ORC 2, the Soho Caixabank Theatre continues to accumulate first. Javier Banderas's Swan 42 carries eight partial wins of ten possible, although he faces the final with only six points of margin on the M8 of the Frances brothers, the ship that followed him in the two sleeves of the day. Despite its reliability throughout the week, the leader is aware that in a fleet of 13 ships, and in a classification without discards, any error can cost him the championship.

At BMW ORC 3, the Synergy 40 El Carmen Elite Sails was able to play his cards to expand his rent to the front of the provisional. The ship of José Coello was sufficient a second and a fifth to escape five points from its immediate persecutor, the Laplaza Assessors patrolled by Carlos Rodríguez (1 + 4). Behind the 2019 champion, three ships are lying in three points. Once again, mathematically there is nothing decided.

In Mallorca Sotheby's Women's Cup, the Dorsia Covirán added a second and a fifth and regained the leadership given yesterday. The ship of Ana Pujol and Nuria Sánchez takes advantage of the Cosentino Group - Les Roches (9 + 4) by four points. The day's winners were the North Zone (1 + 7), which are fifths, and the AGD (4 + 1), six.

In Herbalife Nutrition J70 continues to head the Let it Be de Marcelo Baltzer (4 + 2), although only three points ahead of the Jeniale Eurosystem de Massimo Rama (3 + 3) and four of the Patakín de Luis Alberto Solana (1 + 5).
