Harm Müller-Spreer’s Platoon team apply yet more pressure on the 2017 52 SUPER SERIES circuit leaders by winning Race 3 of the Menorca 52 SUPER SERIES Sailing Week, the deciding event of the six-regatta season.
Platoon started at the signal boat end of the line and were able to lead around the windward mark from Quantum Racing in second, with Paprec in third. Racing in a modest SE’ly breeze of 9-10kts, Azzurra rounded the top turn in seventh and managed to recover one place by the finish line.
So the top of the circuit leaderboard sees Azzurra holding on by two points from Azzurra with Quantum Racing’s second place leaving them ten points behind Azzurra and eight behind Platoon, now leaders of the Menorca regatta.
