The Bay of Mallorca offered pleasant conditions on the second day of racing of the Princess Sofia Trophy yesterday. The Tornados sailed three more races with a sea breeze that increased during the day: 9-14kts favoring the right side of the course.

The sailors were quite careful not to be over the line when starting races 4 and 6. But race 5 had 14 black-flags over two starts including Argentineans Lange/Espinola, Australians Bundock/Forbes, Dutch Booth/Dercksen, Austrians Hagara/Steinacher, amongst others.

“We were very happy to be able to double-trapeze when the wind picked-up. Good start, good speed and a good feeling! But some pressure from the other competitors was also good.” said winner of race 5, French Yann Guichard.

Darren Bundock, winner of race 6 said: “We went the wrong way in the first leg but slowly got back when we went to the right side of the course – from 8th to 1st easily and then we just disappeared downwind!”

The weather forecast for today is 10-15 knots of sea breeze and two races are scheduled.
