Two point lead for Quantum

A comfortable win in Race 6 of the Royal Cup Marina Ibiza gives the American team skippered by Ed Baird a two points lead at the end of a long three race day.

Their second win of today’s three starts was won off the start line and the early part of the first beat. Quantum Racing started hard on the committee boat end of the start line and sailed the strongest pressure on the right of the first upwind.

Azzurra lay second all the way around the course but lost out to Ergin Imre’s Provezza on the final run, the Turkish boat making second. On the overall points table Quantum Racing lead by two points after their 1,4,1 today ahead of Azzurra which went 2,1,3 for the day.
