For the 1,130 sailors from 55 nations the second day of racing meant do-or-die as the places for the final series of racing were decided. Racing got off to a late start in the afternoon with a light morning breeze ensuring Palma Bay resembled a shiny pane of glass. When the first race got underway after 14h00 local time a moderate 5 knot breeze that picked up to 10 knots saw the light wind specialists continue their strong early form.
The qualification series at Trofeo Princesa Sofia – ISAF Sailing World Cup Mallorca concluded yesterday, Tuesday 1 April, with sailors gearing up for a tough three days of final series racing.
