Stand-out performer was Chris Bake’s Team Aqua, which, much like Hugues Lepic’s Aleph Racing on Day One, scored no race worse than a fifth place. Her resounding 2-5-2-1 scoreline has left Bake’s team with a useful eight point advantage going into the final day.

A difficult opening day of the Adris 44Cup Rovinj saw just one race completed and a worthy winner in Igor Lah's Team CEEREF. But perhaps never in the history of the 44Cup have so many different teams led during one race.

Glory boys of day two were unquestionably Nico Poons' Charisma, who managed to secure bullets in the day's first and last races. However these sandwiched a costly last place - the classic zero-to-hero way for which the Monaco-based Dutchman's team has become famous.

Whether it is in big waves or small, gale force or light winds, Chris Bake’s Team Aqua has shone all week and as a result won the 44Cup Cascais with a race to spare.
