On October 9 and 10 the meeting in Gaditan waters

The F50 Victoria, has played in the France Sail Grand Prix its second final of the season and has finished third. The first time was in Taranto (Italy), where it curiously coincided with the same rivals, Japan and the United States, and finished second. In Saint-Tropez, the ship formed by Phil Robertson, Florian Trittel, Diego Botin, Joan Cardona and Mateu Barber has been able to finish second in the previous phase and enter the great final, finally ending in third position.

In the last few seconds before the departure of the second test, there was an incident between the British and Spanish ships, when Ben Ainslie, the English pilot, made a very aggressive maneuver entering the wedge to find the best placement on the exit, touching the Spanish ship. This caused damage to the F50 Victoria that made the Spanish ship late to the next exit (the final) because it had to assess the damage of the damage.

2021-09-11: The F50 Victoria is third after the United States and New Zealand in Saint-Tropez

The Spanish team has performed very precise and key maneuvers in the outcome of the day, such as the arrival of the first test, in which they have achieved a third position

Good premiere of the F50 Victoria in France Sail Grand Prix that is celebrated this weekend in waters of the Blue Coast. The Spain SailGP Team resurfaced after the events of Plymouth and Aarhus, ending the first day in the third position of the general, behind the United States and New Zealand. However, the Spanish team is provisionally in the positions of fighting tomorrow the great final, in the absence of two evidence.

The first test in Saint- Tropez was essential for the F50 Victoria to get back to confidence after the events of Plymouth and Aarhus... after a start in which New Zealand and Great Britain were fighting the head of the test... the F50 Victoria very well juice its options and crossed into a meritorious third position after Britain and Japan.

The second test of the day was crazy. The F50 Victoria was compensated with a large exit that allowed him to be placed in first position during the first stretch of the tour, but from there, there were various penalties among them to France, which was fighting from you to you with the Spanish boat in the second buoy. This situation was taken advantage of by Jimmy Spihill to place the leading American F50 and win the mid-day test. Japan was second and New Zealand was third. The Spanish ship, which throughout the test passed from the first to the seventh position, crossed the line of arrival in fifth position.

In the third and last manga of the day, the F50 Victoria would make a good way out again, allowing it to reach again between the first three to the first buoy step, behind Australia and Denmark. The Spanish ship chose on the right side, there it lost a few meters causing a fall to the sixth position. But the Spain SailGP Team is known to be the ship of the lifts and, once again, was able to recover positions to end in fourth position behind the United States, Denmark and New Zealand.
