Sled surges to the top of the Puerto Portals 52 SUPER SERIES Sailing Week leaderboard, showcasing their dominance in challenging conditions. Discover how their tactical prowess and speed have positioned them as front-runners in this intense competition.
At the midpoint of the event, Sled leads the fleet of 14 boats with 25 points, capitalizing on a shifty day on the Bay of Palma. Provezza, the overnight leaders, falter with a disappointing 13th place in the first race, slipping to third overall with 34 points. Andrea Lacorte's Alkedo Vitamina suffers a similar fate, matching Provezza’s aggregate score of 20 points after a rollercoaster day.
Sled’s strong performances, finishing third and second, highlight their effective tactics and swift sailing in 12-16 knots of wind, thanks to the expertise of Murray Jones and Francesco Bruni. Bruni emphasizes the team’s resilience following a tough moment earlier in the week.
Eric de Turckheim's Teasing Machine claims victory in the first race of the day, while Crioula, led by tactician Samuel Albrecht, secures their first win since the last regatta in Valencia. With the competition tightening, the tension mounts as teams battle for supremacy in this record-sized fleet.
