Swan One Design Worlds 2022 | Day 2
Date: NaT

The second day of the Swan One Design Worlds, hosted by the Real Club Náutico de Valencia, saw several more ClubSwan Racing teams earn their place in the winner's circle of their respective classes as the intensity of the competition increased another notch.

With the regatta – which is the World Championships for the ClubSwan 36, ClubSwan 42 and ClubSwan 50 one-design classes – reaching its half-way point, fortunes among the fleet ebbed and flowed across another three closely-contested races off Valencia, Spain's historic port city.
Compared with Wednesday the wind was lighter, but the light easterly breeze – locally named the Garbi – gradually increased to deliver 12-13 knots by the third and final race.

It proved another exhilarating day in the always competitive ClubSwan 50 class. Cuordileone, helmed by Leonardo Ferragamo, remained at the top of the leaderboard – again by a single point – but this time fending off Hendrik Brandis' ultra-consistent Earlybird.

Consolidation was the name of the game today for the leader of the ClubSwan 42 class, as Pedro Vaquer's Nadir extended her lead to seven points after taking a win in the first race – her third of the regatta – as well as banking a fourth and second place.

It was a day of nip and tuck racing in the superfast ClubSwan 36 fleet, with three more yachts taking their first wins at the regatta – namely Edoardo Ferragamo's Cuordileone, Giangiacomo Serena di Lapigio's G Spot and Lorenzo Mondo's Farstar.
