After a light start to this regatta, conditions finally came good with the breeze building into the high teens for day three of the RC44 Cascais World Championship. A different winner in each of today’s three races, a new overall leader in Vladimir Liubomirov’s Bronenosec Sailing Team and just two points separating the top three boats at the close of play, gives some indication of how close this clash of the titans is.
Hooking the weather mark yesterday and a problem with a jib halyard immediately before today’s first start, seemed not to phase Torbjörn Törnqvist’s Artemis Racing, as the Swedish America’s Cup crew fought its way to the front in race one.
