“The team sailed phenomenally well this week, it’s interesting that there are so many boats that did really well at points this week and at other points they made mistakes, like being over early and blowing shoots out. I’m slightly in awe of all the other boats and how quickly they have come up to speed, with a little bit more work they’re going to be right there and it will be key for us to keep the pressure on ourselves,” said Team Aqua’s Owner/Driver Chris Bake
With second to fourth places all tied on 48 points, the count back went to Synergy then Aegir Racing. Early leaders Peninsula Petroleum (John Bassadone /Vasco Vascotto) just missed out on a podium finish.
Aegir Racing’s third place was their first ever podium position at an RC44 event since purchasing the ex ORACLE Racing at the end of last year.
“What impressed me most this regatta was our consistency, I think our worst result was a eighth so we were very pleased with that. This is Ian’s [Williams] second regatta so he took on a bigger role here, we’re hopefully settling into our stride, my driving is getting better but I think the conditions suited us, it was pretty windy but the waves were manageable most of the time,” owner Brian Benjamin said.
After three events in the 2013 RC44 Championship Tour overall standing, Team Aqua lead from Katusha and Synergy. The Tour now moves to Cascais, Portugal for the penultimate round of the season from 2nd-6th October.
