Barcelona has been serving up truly momentous weather conditions for the past month and today was just another day at the world’s most perfect office. Alinghi Red Bull Racing and INEOS Britannia lit the after-burners on a memorable session in a Garbi sea-breeze that peaked just above 20 knots and a fairly choppy sea state that called for accuracy. Both teams looked sublime in the conditions, releasing the awesome power of their current generation AC75s and made sailing look not only easy but thoroughly enjoyable – a great advert for the sport.
