J/70 Mixed-Plus World Championship at Circolo Vela Torbole - Day 2

by Julie & Christopher Howell 27 Jun 17:58 BST 26-29 June 2025

Friday was the second day of racing in Torbole for the inaugural J/70 Mixed-Plus World Championship. Although the "Ora" breeze was lighter than yesterday, it didn't disappoint; it blew steadily enough to deliver three fair, fun and hard-fought races.

Holding on to the top of the leaderboard is the Spanish team Yupi, with Joan Cardona Méndez at the helm. A strong, consistent day for them, steadily improving with scores of 3-2-1 — always inside the top three. Chasing six points behind is Tim Ryan's Vamos from Australia, who started the day strong with victories in the first two races. In third place is the Swedish team Sailracing, led by Anton Dahlberg, posting a 2-5-3 and now tied on points with the Australians.

Just off the podium is Joel Ronning's Catapult, trailing the leaders by 10 points. One point further back is J-Curve, skippered by Mauro Roversi. The incredibly high level of the fleet is clear when you consider that To Nessa from Brazil — a team featuring no fewer than nine Olympic medals — currently sits in sixth place overall.

The top Corinthian team is DSP by Douglas Struth and Marshall King, in 11th place overall. Close behind are the Americans on Dime, helmed by Andrew Loe, just two points adrift, followed by Piccinina from Italy with Stefano Roberti, just one point further back.

It was a day that confirmed the intensity of this Championship — and with five races still to go, the excitement is far from over.
