Day 4 Fleet Racing - RC44 Cascais World Championship

A giant conclusion to the RC44 Cascais World Championship, with 20+ knot winds and 2m high seas, was a three horse race that culminated in Vladimir Prosikhin's Team Nika claiming the title ahead of Vladimir Liubomirov's Bronenosec Sailing Team and Igor Lah's Team CEEREF. "I feel very good - we sailed good today and I really enjoyed it," said Prosikhin, dripping after being 'coaxed' into a victor's swim in Marina de Cascais. "It is my first ever World Championship win. It was a long, long way up and now we get to keep the 'Golden Wheels' [fitted to the RC44 Championship Tour leader's boat]. We are also World Champions and we still have a chance to win the season." Competition in the 2015 RC44 Championship Tour continues with the RC44 Virgin Gorda Cup over 25-29th November. This will be another mega-battle, particularly between friends and arch-rivals, Team Nika and Bronenosec Sailing Team, at present separated by just one point.
