Despite being mid-November, Portugal laid on warm temperatures and light winds for the opening day of the RC44 Cascais Cup. In the opening race Vladimir Prosikhin's Team Nika started as her crew intended. They pulled off a good mid-line start on starboard and managed to control the fleet to take first blood. Team Aqua won the second race of the day, doing especially well out on the left side of the first beat.
