With the forecast for boat breaking conditions, it was No Way Back (NED) that took the first race win of the 2012 RC44 Puerto Calero Cup.

Artemis Racing (SWE) and French Aleph Sailing Team relished in the full on surfing conditions and took full advantage of other teams mistakes.

Artemis Racing, who had rounded the first windward mark in 13th place, stormed across the finish line in second place having timed their final gybe to perfection. Aleph was just behind, managing to plane across the line ahead of early leaders Team Nika.

A full on start to the 2012 RC44 Championship Tour.
