GL52 Pensacola Cup 2026 - Day 3

by Caroline Rochford 22 Mar 09:28 PDT 19-22 March 2026

Pensacola Bay is the gift that keeps on giving. Absolutely champagne conditions persisted throughout the day, lending to us achieving an unprecedented four-race day.

Wizard continued their dominating performance with four first place finishes - in fact they only have a single race finish worse than first. They have a mere 12 points.

Windquest sought to break up Wizard's victory line and matched race them hard. But with big moves come with risk and the payoff had mixed results. While they are currently in second with 23 points the fight isn't over yet.

Katana improved on their day 2 results, finishing with only one third place race result. They are hunting down Windquest and currently sit two points behind second place at 25 points.

Over in the ClubSwan28 fleet, scores stay as tight as ever. By finishing a sixth race yesterday, the fleet is awarded a throw out which tightened results even further. Al Ramadan's Play Bigger still holds the top spot but with only one point separating first from third, the podium is anything but set. Bacio and My Sharona are looking to spoil Play Bigger's win and secure victory in the inaugural ClubSwan28 US event.

Conditions today look to be a carbon copy of yesterday so we are looking forward to three races with a first warning at 12pm CST.
