The race was won by the Brazilian boat "Barco Chefe", of Victor Demaison with Olympic sailors Jorge Sarif and Gabriel Borges aboard. In second place was "Open Bar" also captained by Olympic sailor Henrique Haddad, closing the podium "Shifter POR Youth Friends" of Paola Amar.

In the Quebramar Trophy, the ORC and NHC classes completed today a coastal race, with a course of 20 nautical miles. The Pedro Mendonça Trophy was won by Panther Synone of Nuno Neves. In the NHC class, the big winner was the boat from Cascais "Metralha", owned by José Vozone. In real time, the race was won by the Mirpuri Racing For The Planet Foundation.

For tomorrow, two technical races (windward/leeward) are planned for the ORC class and one coastal race for the NHC class. The SB20 class sail the training regatta for the world championship starting tomorrow.
