Fonte: 44th Trofeo Princesa Sofia Mapfre
Regatta favourites open the scores in the The first European event in the ISAF Sailing World Cup circuit have tested the athletic sailing skills
Racing started in the 44th Trofeo Sofia Mapfre, ISAF Sailing World Cup Palma, with increasing wind and waves, providing for challenging races. The 49er FX, Nacra and 2.4 missed on racing, as did some of the 49er in the blue group. In most classes the favourites have taken an early lead in the testing conditions.
Jonas Warrer (DEN) “ I have sailed with four different crews in the 49ers, for me it is a way to improve and keep learning. Peter is young, full of energy and super fast in the boat."
With increasing wind and waves, the 49ers have had a tough day in Palma. After two races in the yellow group, racing was cancelled for the day. The British team of David Evans and Edward Powys have mastered the heavy weather with a victory and a third place. However the Danish teams have had their word to say.
