Cascais – Two bullets from three races left the Kirill Frolov-steered Bronenosec Sailing Team was the stand-out boat on the opening day of the RC44 World Championship. With winds starting at around 12 knots and building into the high teens, plus relatively flat water and shorts and T-shirt temperatures, Cascais laid on tourist board-approved conditions. However this was only after a wise call to wait ashore for the wind to fill in by PRO Peter Reggio and the race management team from the Real Club Nautico de Cascais.
The first race was decided on the first run. Vladimir Prosikhin’s Team Nika was technically first coming into the top mark, but had Bronenosec Sailing Team outside of her with better pace. Bronenosec bravely held on starboard, as the rest of the fleet gybed, and found herself clear ahead by the time she crossed Team Nika. From there she was never challenged.
In race two there were some start line antics with Peninsula Petroleum performing a late duck down to win the pin while Nico Poons’ Charisma found herself locked out behind the race committee boat. Meanwhile Team Ceeref started strongly midline and playing the middle of the race track ultimately enabled them to lead at the top mark ahead of John Bassadone’s Peninsula Petroleum. The Slovenian 2017 RC44 Championship Tour winners managed to stay in front on for the remainder of the race.
Team CEEREF attempted to continue their success in race three, bravely crossing ahead of several boats on port as she came back from the far left on the first beat. However Bronenosec Sailing Team had shown equal commitment to the right side of the course where favourable current handed them a massive lead, leading to her second bullet of the day and a, by RC44 standards, commanding four point lead over Charisma and Team Nika.
More wind is expected tomorrow.
