Container and Magic Carpet, still leaders at the Hublot PalmaVela.

With a breeze of eight to ten knots from the 190 to the 220, more than a hundred boats have filled the Bay of Palma today. The second racing day has brought few changes to the standings of the TP52, Mini Maxi and Maxi Wally classes, with Artemis repeating victory in the TP52's, and Container and Magic Carpet holding to the first positions in Mini Maxi and Maxi Wally respectively. "Peraleja Golf", "Inmobiliaria Nova", "Peninsula Petroleum" and "Symfony" have won in the first races run by the J-80, Platú 25, RI 1 and ORC classes respectively. Tomorrow the Lateen Rigged Sailing and Disabled Sailing classes will join competition.

We haven't seen big changes among the giants of the Maxi Wally and Mini Maxi classes either in the three exciting races held today in the Delta Racing Area, opposite the Arenal. The day's first contest of the Maxi Wallies was very similar to the one run yesterday, with victory of Magic Carpet of Daniel Gallichan, who marked "Y3K" of Claus-Peter Offen and Tristan Kinloch's "J One" during the whole race. The day's picture was the ripped spinnaker of Luca Bassani's "Esense", after the sail got caught in the spreander, what costed her the first place. Things changed in the second race, very tight fought but finally won by "Y3K", just one second ahead of Stefano Massa's "Indio". Massa cheered today's races up, finishing second in the third race, which was won by "J One", second in the overall classification behind "Magic Carpet", that remains leader in spite of her third place in the last race.

In the Mini Maxis, Udo Schutz's Container didn't give her first place up thanks to two victories in the two last races of the day, improving her fourth place in the first race. Neville Crichton's Shockwave had a good day today, with one first and two third places, which helped her move up to the second position in the overall classification. Shockwave really improved her speed today, who was lacking some weight yesterday, said Crichton. Andrés Soriano's Alegre is third in the overall standings after doing two second and one fourth place.
