Niklas Zennstrom’s world champions Ran Racing won the first race for the 52 SUPER SERIES at the 32nd Copa del Rey MAPFRE finishing well ahead of a very tight tussle for second.
On the first windward leg Provezza were able to gain the early lead by virtue of their choice of the right side of the course and a strong start. They succumbed to Ran Racing on the first run and then lost out on the final gybes into the finish line as Azzurra stole a useful second place. Quantum Racing finished third. On a longer course in 11-15kts of NE’ly breeze, Ran Racing built themselves a comfortable margin by the finish line.
