Sail-World.com : Russia's Krylov leads at Cascais Dragon Gold Cup

Russia's Krylov leads at Cascais Dragon Gold Cup

Russia’s Alexey Krylov/Vlad Kapitonov/Alexei Bushuev are the new Cascais Dragon Gold Cup leaders after the second day of racing in the fantastic scenery of Cascais.

Britain’s Robert Campbell/Matt Walker/Jonathan Hill are second overall and Portuguese Manuel Champalimaud/Mark Hart/Ed Streeter are third. Ukrainian Eugeniy Braslavets and Portuguese Filipe Silva won the second day races.

A shiny day and wind blowing from 6 to 8 knots, were the perfect conditions that the 74 Dragon fleet had for the second of racing in Cascais. In the first race, Ukraine’s Eugeniy Braslavets/Sergey TImokhov/Claus Olesen won. Gavia Wilkinson-Cox/Jon Mortimer/Ron Rosenberg from Great Britain were second and Frank Berg/Soren Nielsen/Soren Kaestel, from Denmark finished third.

The second race was perfect for Filipe Silva/Joaquim Moreira/Miguel Pinto. The Portuguese crew started and finished first, dominating the race. Germany’s Philip Dohse/Oliver Mose/Jan Scharfetter and Great Britain’s Robert Campbell/Matt Walker/Jonathan Hill were second and third.

In general overall, consistency seems to be the secret, no one from the top three won a race, with Russia’s Alexey Krylov/Vlad Kapitonov/Alexei Bushuev being the new leaders followed by Great Britain’s Robert Campbell/Matt Walker/Jonathan Hill and Manuel Champalimaud/Mark Hart/Ed Streeter, from Portugal.

Tomorrow the fleet will have 1 race, starting at 14:00h.

The Cascais Dragon Gold Cup is part of Cascais Vela 2008 project and counts with the participation of 74 boats, representing 16 countries and is considered as the most important and prestigious regatta of the International Dragon Class, which returns to Cascais 10 years after it was held here in 1998.
