"That was some intense racing. It was really windy and gusty out there, and some of the gusts hit 27 knots. We just need to keep doing what we're doing and we had a much better day today," said SAP Extreme Sailing Team's helmsman, Adam Minoprio.

"As we sailed downwind, the boats absolutely ripped through the water. Flat water and big, big puffs, we were going pretty fast today. Great sailingm" said the team's skipper, Phil Robertson.

"We got to the top and the wind started doing circles on us. Mark Spearman (mainsail trimmer) managed to cut the mark away, so we did a good job to get free. Overall, we felt like we built on yesterday and did a really good job of coming together as a team," explained skipper Will Alloway.

"It was very tough out there. We chose not to use the code zero sail for safety and control of the boat because of the wind. Although we had a problem with our tack line, we managed to return so we're pretty pleased." said Luís Brito, the team's co-skipper and mentor.
