GC32 Lagos Cup 1 - Day 2: Breeze On for the Foilers of Lagos by GC32 Racing Tour 3 Jul 05:30 BST 30 June - 4 July 2021
Five races in an ever-increasing breeze resulted in a second day of the GC32 Lagos Cup 1 that will linger long in the memory. The scores see-sawed back and forth between the six crews and just 2 points separate the middle order of Team Rockwool Racing, Black Star Sailing Team and Zoulou.
After winning the final race of day one, Red Bull Sailing Team was fast out of the blocks this afternoon, the Austrians winning the opening race ahead of series leader Alinghi. The Swiss bounced back with a race win in the next, and this time it was the new crew from Denmark that were the closest threat to Alinghi, Nicolai Sehested steering Team Rockwool Racing to second across the line ahead of the double Olympic Champion Roman Hagara and Red Bull.
