Otto Pohlmann’s Meerblick of Germany tops the leaderboard with a third and first after two races of the Dragon Grand Prix Spain.
This gives him a three-point advantage over his compatriot Stephan Link (2,5) on Desert Holly. In third place sits another German Dragon, Ingrid, helmed by Dirk Pramann (8,2), who led for the first three legs of the second race, but ended up conceding victory to Meerblick in the closing moments.
The Russian Rocknrolla, skippered by Dmitry Samokhin (1,14), completed an astonishing first race, heading the fleet at all the marks.
However, a bad start in the second race hindered his chances of finishing the day on the podium.
On the contrary, Peter Gilmour, commanding the only Japanese team of the fleet, went from less to more and now lies fourth overall with 11 points (7,4).
The regatta, hosted by the Club de Regatas Puerto Portals, Mallorca, continues until Thursday with up to six further races planned. This regatta is the fourth and final event in the 2019 Dragon European Cup Circuit.
