GL52 Pensacola Cup 2026 - Day 2

by Caroline Rochford 21 Mar 07:24 PDT 19-22 March 2026

Unlike day 1 with multiple race winners, day 2 saw boats finding a place and sticking to it. Wizard found the magic and dominated, accomplishing a picket fence day. They currently lead the event with a strong 9 points.

Windquest is showing they cannot be counted out, coming in second place every race. They are comfortably in second place with 12 points. Katana had a challenging day with three third place finishes that puts them in third overall with 16 points. However, today is a new day and any of these points have the speed and skill to come out on top.

Over in the ClubSwan28 fleet racing was extremely tight, only 8 points separate first and fifth. Al Ramadan's Play Bigger holds a narrow lead over the rest of the fleet.

The wind looks like it will build earlier than the last few days so we are expecting an on time warning at 12pm CST.
