Torbjörn Törnqvist’s Artemis Racing demonstrated herself to be categorically back on form after winning five races out of nine at the 44Cup Baiona. The second event of the 2024 44Cup concluded today in the Galician port where it has been hosted by the Monte Real Club de Yates de Baiona (MRCYB).
After a long wait for the wind direction to stabilise, finally a light northwesterly filled in and two races were sailed. In the first Chris Bake’s Team Aqua started well, tacking at the committee boat, winning the right and subsequently the race. For the former serial World Champions and Series winners this was a ray of light after a generally disappointing week. “The boat has been going well all week, but I think we just couldn’t get in the right place at the right time. That cost us dearly…” commented Bake.
