Giant waves kicked up by an Atlantic gale oddly combined with no wind in the vicinity of Cascais resulted in racing being cancelled on the final day of the RC44 Cascais Cup.
This made for a surprise, come-from-behind winner of both this last event of the 2018 season for the high performance, one design race boats and in the 2018 RC44 Championship ranking overall.
No racing Sunday left Nico Poons’ Charisma hitting the jackpot, winning the RC44 Cascais Cup, with a three point advantage over Chris Bake’s Team Aqua, second on countback to Igor Lah’s Team CEEREF.
Charisma also overhauled both Team Nika and Team CEEREF to claim the annual RC44 Championship for the first time.
In the 2018 RC44 Championship, Vladimir Prosikhin’s Team Nika finished just one point behind Charisma, with Igor Lah’s defending champions on Team CEEREF tied on points with her, but in third on countback.
