The third day of Skandia Cowes Week belonged to the cannonball crews as perfect sailing conditions propelled the fleet round their courses at breakneck speed.
In the TP52 class, crews reported sustained runs in excess of 22 knots as a consistent Force 5 south westerly pushed the boats to their limits and gave them an exhilarating surf through the Solent.
A tantalising battle is developing between the front runners of IRC Class Zero, though Niklas Zennstrom posted his third win of the week in Ran with Charles Dunstone's Rio, finishing just 27 secs behind having registered a fourth and a fifth at the weekend.
'I think we got lucky,' said Charles Dunstone, Rio's owner who is driving the boat himself.
'The guys on Ran sail the boat very well. Yesterday we trawled our kite and the day before we got something round the rudder but today we were luckier.
'We will be doing our best to win this week. We are good in the wind and the forecast is for more wind but it is still a big hill to climb.'
Alinghi take title
There was more drama in the iShares Cup at Skandia Cowes Week when JP Morgan Asset Management capsized. Her skipper Shirley Robertson, who is due to fly out to Beijing to commentate on the Olympics tonight had surrendered the helm to the talented Paul Campbell-James but his bid for honours resulted in a broken rig and a second to last place in the series.
Alinghi finished second in the final double points race today, which was enough to secure them victory ahead of Team Origin, who in the end trailed the leaders by five points.
But Rob Greenhalgh and crew retain the Overall iShares Cup Extreme 40 Series title at the halfway point of the European series. Holmatro sailed well to hang on to third place but it was Alinghi skipper Ed Baird who received the garland at the prize-giving.
