The Varador 2000 has climbed to second place in the overall standings of the ORC2 category Copa del Rey Sailing at the end of the third day of racing. The vrolijk 37 that command Lluís Blanchar and Carles Rodríguez has signed two second places in the two races held today and outperformed the Airlan Aermec, its nearest rival.
The race has been developed with a wind of 10 to 13 knots of 215 °, which has forced the crew to be very careful with trimming the sails. At the outputs of the two races the Varador 2000 has controlled its rivals, especially the Airlan Aermec to make it difficult position, forcing him to fight with the rest of the fleet as the ship moved ahead Arenys. The recovered positions Airlan downwind legs, but has not been enough to take time to Varador 2000, which has made two almost perfect sleeves, with very few errors.
The boat is very fast. If this tactic has raised Alex Folch and great refinement of cane, Carles Rodríguez, adds (besides the good coordination of the entire crew) the result is finish ahead of the entire fleet except the unattainable Movistar (is really ORC2 or ORC1?).
On Thursday’s scheduled one test consisting of a coastal race around the bay of Palma. This year, as new, this test counts as any other and can be discarded as worst result ever realizing they run 8 heats of the 11 previews.
