Video Advisory - Team CEEREF gunning for the lead
Demonstrating that the crews have lost none of their competitiveness over the winter break, at the end of day two of fleet racing at the RC44 Bermuda Cup, the top two boats are tied on points and just two points separate the top three.
Following her two wins on day one of fleet racing, Igor Lah's Team CEEREF continued its winning streak, claiming today's first two races. But both were hard fought affairs.
In the first race the Slovinian team was mid-fleet around the top mark for the first time, but made gains by gybing early on the first run and was up to second by the time they reached the weather mark for a second time.
In race two, the Slovenian RC44 had a stronger first beat to round the top mark in second behind John Bassadone's Peninsula Petroleum Sailing Team. On the next lap she pulled ahead coming into the top mark with rights and held her lead all the way to the finish to take her second bullet of the day. This left her tied on points with Chris Bake's Team Aqua going into the final race, just one point astern of the leader, Vladimir Liubomirov's Bronenosec Sailing Team.
The third and final race of the day saw the 2015 defending fleet racing champion, Vladimir Prosikhin's Team Nika take the win, her first of this regatta, where she is finding her feet with some new crew.
A fourth place for Team CEEREF saw her slip to third overall, two points adrift of Team Aqua and Bronenosec Sailing Team, the joint leaders after seven races, demonstrating just how close the racing is between the RC44s here on Bermuda's Great Sound.
Racing continues with two days of fleet racing. Follow the racing via the live blog at www.rc44.com.
