A Sprint and not a Marathon
On the penultimate day of racing at the Breitling MedCup’s Athens Trophy victory in the short, sharp coastal race went to Steve and Fred Howe’s Warpath but there may have been a certain hollow ring to it since Peter de Ridder’s Mutua Madrilena finished second to extend their overall lead in the regatta to 10 points over Vicente Tirado’s Caixa Galicia. Caixa Galicia, with John Kostecki as tactician, have only once finished outside of the top five at this regatta and now have two points in hand over Cristabella which slipped to third today. With the SW’ly wind at a promising 11 knots at the start Warpath were sharp at the pin end of the line to win the favoured left side of the course. A relatively safe start again from Mutua Madrilena still found them good speed and into a clear lane quickly to see them second around the windward turn of the seven mark, 20 mile course on the Saronic Gulf.Source: www.medcup.org (http://www.medcup.org) Full Story »
