Day 2 of racing at the 24th HM King Juan Carlos Trophy in Cascais, saw a new leader, Scotland’s Grant Gordon, crewed by Ruairidh Scott, James Williamson and Alex Warren.
With the day 1 leader, the Japanese Yanmar Team of Peter Gilmour, sidelined by the sinking of their boat on its return to the marina on Wednesday, Grant Gordon takes a two point lead ahead of the Russian team of Anatoly Loginov, with Vadim Statsenko and Alexander Shalagin.
In third place is Monaco’s Jens Rathsack with Frederico Melo and Diogo Pereira.
All three of these teams profited by the discard removing their double-digit opening race score.
Winner of the first race (R3) was the French team of Gery Trentesaux, with Eric Brezellec, Jean Queveau and Christian Ponthieu, ahead of Jens Rathsack, with Grant Gordon taking third.
The second race of the day was a win for Switzerland’s Hugo Stenbeck, with Martin Westerdahl and Bernardo Freitas.
Martin Payne’s Mars took second with Anatoly Loginovin in third.
Just prior to the start of racing all attention was on the recovery of Peter Gilmour’s Team Yanmar JPN56 following her sinking after yesterday’s race.
Excellent work by the club staff, Pedro Andrade of 8th Dimension Racing and a professional dive team saw her rapidly recovered.
Fortunately the boat had come off virtually unscathed and Gilmour has confirmed that they will be back with the fleet Friday.
