Rolex TP52 Global Championship
Only one race on Friday at the Rolex TP52 Global Championship. But what a race. No huge change in the leaderboard, but when you get to see TP52s screaming downwind in 20+ knots, that seems a minor detail. Peter de Ridder's Mean Machine (MON) gave a heavy-air sailing demonstration to lead the fleet around the course and finish some way ahead of Stay Calm (GBR). Artemis (SWE) kept her championship aspirations on target with a fourth, whilst Windquest (USA) might be forgiven for keeping their heads down after an unfortunate incident with HRH Harald of Norway's Fram XVI (NOR) at the second windward mark. Going into the final day Artemis has a fifteen-point lead.
