In the chase for the TP52 World Championship title Takashi Okura’s Sled crew and the Plattner family’s Phoenix share the lead with 15 points.
Sled with six times America’s Cup winner Murray Jones on the helm and Italian ace Francesco Bruni calling tactics won themselves a share of the overall lead.
Their 5, 1, score matching the Phoenix scoreline of two wins from day 1 and a weighty sixth and seventh for day 2.
With only three scheduled days of racing left of the overall 2021 52 SUPER SERIES it could not be closer. Chasing Sled and Quantum Racing overall now in third are Phoenix which are only two points behind.
As is often the case Quantum Racing’s astute risk management, achieved under high levels of stress, ensured they earned a third and a fourth place for Doug De Vos’ team lead by Terry Hutchinson.
Andy Soriano’s Alegre team also tasted the lows and the highs, winning the first race but finishing tenth in the second contest.
It was that kind of day.
