The opening day of the GC32 Villasimius Cup, the first event on the 2019 GC32 Racing Tour saw a stiff southwesterly buffeting the ten GC32 catamarans while moored in the Marina di Villasimus as their crews prepared for the season’s first encounter.

The Omanis may once again have been lowest scorers, but Alinghi and INEOS Rebels UK were only one and two points behind. This situation would have been markedly different too had these two teams not been called OCS in the final race, in which they finished seventh and eighth respectively.

After a faltering start to day one of the 38 Copa del Rey MAPFRE, Alinghi turned on the afterburners to take the final two races of a full-on, five-heat afternoon in the latest round of the 2019 GC32 Racing Tour in Palma, Mallorca.

Oman Air dominated the early part of the second day, an altogether lighter contest after the barnstorming breezes of Day One at the 38th Copa del Rey MAPFRE in Palma.

Opening day of the GC32 Oman Cup looked like it might be marginal. However in the end, four out of five of the scheduled races were sailed just north of the Al Mouj marina with a challenging set of wind conditions at times.

Undisputed winner on Day Two was Zoulou, which, with French ace Gurvan Bontemps standing in on the helm for owner-driver Erik Maris, scored two bullets and three seconds, which was immensely consistent given the sea state and gusty conditions.

Day Three was the turn of Oman Air to hit the front at the GC32 Oman Cup. The local heroes led by Adam Minoprio are ten points adrift of the formidable Swiss with potentially five races still to sail and with the fleet down to five following Argo’s untimely breakage.
