Copa del Rey
The Siemens brains trust made all the right calls on the first day of the Copa del Rey Agua Brava-Camper, comfortably winning the first outer loop windward leeward race. Complemented by good boat speed in the light going and solid crew work Siemens won by over one minute and 50 seconds from John Cook’s British-flagged boat Cristabella.As ever in the very evenly matched white hot 20 boat TP52 fleet, starting in the front rank proved critical. A solid midline start from Siemens, which has Ian Walker steering and 1996 Star Gold medallist Vince Brun, sailing his first TP52 regatta, on tactics ensured the black hulled Reichel Pugh design was one of the first to profit as the left side of the course paid. Brun kept them working the left and they followed Cristabella in second around the first weather marks.source: www.medcup.org (http://www.medcup.org) Full Story »
