After a free of racing first day due to insufficient wind, the second day of Tenzor International Cup – J/70 Open Winter Series 2024-2025 Leg 3 regatta passed in close and exciting action.
With good winds of just over 15kts, not stable and shifty with waves, 17 teams in a fleet successfully passed 4 races.
As Can Giray, PRO of regatta, summarized: «RC set up the start line without wasting any time and started the races quickly. The first two races went smoothly. However, when the teams started very aggressively in the third race of the day, RC postponed the start before the start signal and decided to start with the Uniform Code pennant in the second attempt. After all these, we completed the day without any problems with 4 tiring races.
In order to reach the total targeted number of 9 races, RC set the start time as 1100 hrs for the last racing day».
Tenzor Team could show the best results in all races with 2 wins and 2 finishes in second position. Bogatyrs is the closest rival with 9 points behind.
Dolce Vita led by Inna Balashova started perfectly with one race won but lost positions in two last races of the day. Anyway the team is currently on third place.
In just one point difference from each other there are three teams which are fighting for podium. Hubex skippered by Kirill Frolov, Atoll Sailing Team led by Anatoliy Arnautov and Turkish Ameera Jet by Emir Icgoren.
Teenage team skippered by Pavel Grachev started very good in their debut. Two finished in top-5 put them in leading group of regatta. For Ayaz Team who renewed its team staff with experienced Doga Aribas performed well with one race in top-3 and others in middle of the fleet.
Doga Aribas said: «We had a beautiful conditions with some shifts and waves. The fleet is very strong and the races are getting tougher and tougher. We finished three races in the middle of the fleet, and in one race we found the way to put us in top-3, which is a great result for us, as this is our first racing event with the team. I guess it will be more windy tomorrow, and I'm sure the quality of races will be pretty high».
