Day 2 RC44 Cascais Cup - Big conditions arrive for the RC44s

Cascais turned on the conditions for which it is famous – 25 knot winds and sunshine - for day two of the RC44 Cascais Cup. Again it was a day with three different winners and mixed results for all. Kirill Frolov’s Bronenosec Sailing Team scored the first bullet of the day, in the first race of the day when a team has led from start to finish in the tricky conditions off the Portuguese sailing mecca. Race two was claimed by Alexander Novoselov’s Katusha, so far the only boat in the series to have won two races. There was much excitement in race three as Artemis Racing Youth, skippered by Gustaf Lidvall and with Artemis Racing’s America’s Cup skipper Nathan Outteridge calling tactics, led around the first mark. The young Swedes fended off a strong challenge from John Bassadone’s Peninsula Petroleum to claim the final race of the day, with the added complication of thick fog that obscured the top mark and the competition on the final leg to the finish. The RC44 Cascais Cup is the fourth event of the 2017 RC44 Championship Tour, which pits the world's top businessmen and the best sailors in the industry compete in high-performance one-design 44-foot carbon racing yachts.
