GLADIATOR OPEN THEIR 2024 ACCOUNT WITH RACE 1 VICTORY AT 52 SUPER SERIES PALMAVELA SAILING WEEK
Tony Langley’s Gladiator team took the first race win of the 2024 52 SUPER SERIES season at 52 SUPER SERIES PalmaVela Sailing Week after profiting from a bold call on the first downwind leg allowed the British flagged team to move up from eighth at the first windward mark to lead by the leeward gate.
With four times 52 SUPER SERIES champion Guillermo Parada steering, owner Langley calling tactics and Italian navigator Bruno Zirilli completing the afterguard, the recovery saw them finish clear ahead of Takashi Okura’s early leaders Sled in second and Doug DeVos’s Quantum Racing powered by American Magic in third.
