Quantum Racingwith the shipowner Doug DeVos to the cane, he is on his way to certify his fifth consecutive triumph in the 52 Super Series. It is like a stinker that makes any obstacles to its benefit. Today he won the first manga in the Puerto Portals Sailing Week and already accumulates an income of nine points on the second classified, the Azzurra of Guillermo Parada. The other manga of the day was won by the Bronenosec by Vladimir Liubomirov, which goes to the third place of the general to the detriment of the Protenzza of the Majorcan Joan Fullana and Nacho Postigo.

Today they exercised that power of departure battling with Azzurra. The hand-to-hand was decided by speed in favor of DeVos and they assured the victory and, almost almost, the fifth consecutive win in 52 Super Series. They have the last two of last season (Cascais Cup and Cascais Cup) and the first two of the present season (Scarlino and Porto Cervo). In fact, they haven't let the rivals win for almost a year. They accumulate nine points of advantage over the Azzurra. And taking away nine points, you want an impossible mission on the two sleeves that are still pending for the last day of tomorrow.

The second sleeve of the day was for the Bronenosec. Between the Russians and the Americans have won seven of the eight trials held so far in Puerto Portals, four Quantum and three the sailboat of St. Petersburg. However, the difference is that while Quantum It has only given in a fifth place as a worse result, the sailboat of Liubomirov has fit two octaves that have lamented him a lot in the general. They would probably, more regularly, be fighting for the final victory tomorrow, but now they must be content to aspire to the second in hard struggle with the Azzurra of Guillermo Parada and Vasco Vascotto.
