Some new faces are emerging at the top of the leaderboard at the RC44 Puerto Calero Cup. Team Aqua (GBR) won the day’s opener, before making a rare error causing the boat to broach which left them back in 13th place at the finish of the second race.

The French Aleph Sailing Team won the second but the team that seemed to relish the shifty conditions was John Bassadones’ Peninsula Petroleum (GBR). A very consistent 2,4,1 scoreline took them to first place overall.
