The 30th Anniversary Race Day saw some yachts double down on a successful opening race, while others stepped up a gear to claim their own success.
The J Class yachts Svea and Rainbow continued their one-on-one match racing, very much in the DNA of the class, with the former adding to her opening day pair of wins with a third victory. However, Svea was unable to compete in today’s opening race due to a technical problem.

In Superyacht Class A, Win Win repeated her first day victory, possibly creating the foundations for a third overall Superyacht Cup Palma win, finishing ahead of the Swan 88 Spiip, Swan 100 Point Counter Point and the 30.9m Wally Inco.
It was a similar tale in the YYachts Class, with the 23.80m Judel/Vrolijk Beati taking a second win in the six strong fleet ahead of the 23.80m Distancia.
Meanwhile, a repeat victory in the second ever multihull race at The Superyacht Cup Palma Richard Mille went to VPLP Highland Fling, this time ahead of Allegra and Layla, with the Morelli & Melvin designed Gaea fourth.
