Day 3 Highlights - Sibenik 52 Super Series Sailing Week, Croatia

If the largely amateur French team on Paprec finished the third racing day of the Šibenik 52 SUPER SERIES Sailing Week in raptures after a well earned victory, the hard driving Terry Hutchinson, skipper and tactician of Quantum Racing may take some satisfaction that they now top the regatta standings but he mood was more one of frustration to have lost two boats down the final run of the second race. The French proved that their second in the coastal race was no fluke. They lead off the pin end of the line, around the top mark and kept cool and composed to earn their first race win on the world’s leading monohull grand prix circuit in more than a year.
