In one month’s time the GC32 Racing Tour is set to return to the idyllic Sardinian seaside resort of Villasimius for the headline event of its 2021 season: the GC32 World Championship. At least nine teams will be on the start line, including Ernesto Bertarelli’s Alinghi, winner of the first two events of this 2021 season and also the defending GC32 World Champion having been crowned in Lagos, Portugal in 2019.
It was all to play for at the second event of the GC32 Racing Tour 2021 as five teams stood a chance of being on the podium right up to the final race. Big breeze saw the fleet hit some of its fastest speeds in epic race conditions. See who came out on top in the event wrap up.
GC32 World Champions and winners of the first GC32 Lagos Cup a month ago, Ernesto Bertarelli’s Alinghi continued its winning streak today...just. After dominating the first post-pandemic event here a month ago, today the Swiss team won the GC32 Lagos Cup 2 by just two points from Christian Zuerrer’s Black Star Sailing Team.
With winds blowing close to 30 knots, all the teams hit near record breaking speeds of 37-40 knots on the penultimate day of racing in Lagos, Portugal.
While racing started on time for the second day of the GC32 Lagos Cup 2 on Portugal’s Algarve coast, sadly only one race could be held before the wind and sea state escalated to levels felt to be too dangerous to sail. Nonetheless, the one race sailed was a good one, with the wind in the high teens and gusting over 20 knots, and even though the breeze from the prevailing northwest was offshore, a short sharp chop had developed. The race also featured two lead changes.
While the results once again might indicate that Ernesto Bertarelli’s Alinghi team had it all their own way, topping the leaderboard after day one of racing at the GC32 Lagos Cup 2 here on Portugal’s Algarve coast, this was far from the case.
