Paramount Park Murcia’s Ignacio Triay happy after taking lead at Audi TP52 Worlds – Sailing news
No winds on the second day made only one race possible at Sardinia’s Porto Cervo, which was won by Spanish TP52 yacht, Paramount Park Murcia. This victory has now taken them on the leading podium of the championship and project manager-trimmer of Spanish
team, Ignacio Triay, is happy with his team’s efforts to hit the number one spot overall.
The thermal winds, which started blowing in the afternoon, were quite difficult for the tacticians to read but the Spanish team made it to the finish line comfortably. However, the first day leader board, Great Britain’s Gladiator crossed the finish line
on fourth place to occupy second spot at the conclusion of Day 2 while America’s Quantum Racing is on third position with nine points after three races.
While speaking to local media at the conclusion of Day 2, Triay said, “We had a good day, we had to wait a few hours. Our start was not very good but we started in the position that we wanted, a little bit late but in the position we wanted.”
He further added, “We just got ahead of the bow of Ran at the top mark and from then on it was just good sailing, the boat is fast in these conditions and we had a good race although we could improve a little bit on the start. We are first now but the windy
days will arrive and our boat is not the fastest in the fleet on windy days, we know that.”
The overall podium standings at the end of Day 2 are given below:
1. Paramount Park Murcia (ESP) 4, 2, 1 = 7 points
2. Gladiator (GBR) 3, 1, 4 = 8 points
3. Quantum Racing (USA) 1, 3, 5 = 9 points
4. Container (GER) 2, 7, 3 = 12 points
