Today was the opening day, that ,in the car field is equivalent to reconnaissance. A race to test the waters, to understand the air motion out there, where, from tomorrow, the first points will be assigned.

For Vasco Vascotto and the boys of Pisco Sour the opportunity to measure themselves against the other boats was good. The TP52 with the unmistakable sail number CHI-2110 finished in sixth place behind the winner Thierry Peponnet, helmsman on Bribon.

The town and the port of Alicante are proud of to have accommodated this splendid show this year."
