Rán Racing did it again, making a key gain at the finish line for the second race in a row to ensure that their two second places today at the Copa del Rey MAPFRE for the Barclays 52 SUPER SERIES means they reduce Quantum Racing’s regatta lead to just three points. Now within much closer reach of the 2013 Copa del Rey title winners Quantum Racing, a fantastic finale on the Bay of Palma is in prospect Saturday.
Azzurra won the race on the first beat when they won the drag race to the left corner, but Quantum Racing uncharacteristically lost two places to finish fourth across the finish line. Rán Racing pipped Phoenix on the line, profiting to the right of the final run ensuring their two second places today puts them right in the hunt for the Zennstrom team’s first Copa del Rey title win.
