Phoenix Lay To Rest Ghosts Of Regattas Past

The Plattner family’s South African flagged Phoenix laid to rest the ghosts of November past when they today clinched the third regatta title of the 2022 52 SUPER SERIES season, the Puerto Portals 52 SUPER SERIES Sailing Week, which finished in perfect 17-20kts NE’ly offshore breezes.
After going on the water carrying a two points lead over the 52 SUPER SERIES 2021 circuit title holders Sled, Phoenix completed their first regatta win with two assured second places to win by 12 points, the biggest winning margin of the 2022 season yet.
And with Quantum Racing returning a fourth place, 19 points behind the winners  – two shy of the Mallorca podium – Phoenix now top the circuit season standings by two points as the fleet now head to Scarlino, Tuscany in September.
Theirs is a popular, some might say overdue title triumph. In November at the world championships they led the penultimate race and were on course for the world title and a potential late tilt at the 2021 overall when their spinnaker blew up spectacularly on the last run.
