TP52 CAM sank


The leader during the three days of competition, "TAU Andalusia" of Cantabrian Jose "Pichu" Torcida has finally captured the Trophy. The Andalusian boat secures its first triumph in this regatta and this class since 2005 when it competed in the IMS 600 class. The sad note of the day has been the sinking of the "CAM" in front of El Saler. Taking in water from the bow during the final race, the situation got worse very quickly, and in spite of all efforts and assistance from the fleet and race committee, the boat sank. Luckily there were no injuries; the crew were all rescued safely.

Near Miss, the Swiss GP42 yacht flying the colors of the Societe Nautique de Geneve, dominated the 3rd event of the Quebramar GP42 Cup. After a total of 7 races the Swiss come first, followed by Roma GP42.2 and AIRIS. DesafIo is still leading the Quebramar GP42 Cup but Near Miss grabs 2nd place from AIRIS.
