Lipton Challenge Cup 2013<\/p><\/div>\n

The hunt is on for the Ola Lipton Challenge Cup, after the first race False Bay Yacht Club tops the leader board after an extremely intense day offshore of Durban.<\/p>\n

With the auspicious sail number 007, the \u2018double agents\u2019 skippering Intasure FBYC Challenge, Andrea Giovannini and Markus Progli co-helming the False Bay Yacht Club\u2019s entry, snatched the win sailing a determined race.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was awesome out there today,\u201d beamed the helmsman Andrea Giovannini. \u201cI think the level is very high this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was nervous on the start, 30 seconds before the gun the wind shifted so we opted to go for the top of the start line, while the rest of the fleet were close to the Committee boat. It seemed like a good move but turned out to be the wrong choice\u201d Giovannini stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce we were through the line, we settled down and got down to business\u201d the helmsman said.<\/p>\n

Rounding the first buoy there was congestion as everyone converged on the mark at the same time. Greg Davis sailing on RMS Harbour Lights for Royal Cape Yacht Club rounded first with local lad, Richard Weddell sailing on Choose Life Co-Ordination representing Point Yacht Club in second, followed closely by Intasure FBYC Challenge.<\/p>\n

The positions didn\u2019t change around the next pin. Intasure FBYC Challenge managed to sneak in the inside of Weddell at the bottom wing mark, moving up to second. \u201cThe boat was in a groove, we had good boat speed so took the opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Markus Progli commented, \u201cOnce we had taken the Choose Life guys we then concentrated on chipping away at the lead Greg had on us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGreg made one tactical mistake at the top of the course and we just hammered it,\u201d a delighted Giovanni said.<\/p>\n

For the remainder of the race, the top three positions remained the same. Orion B2G2 sailed magnificently, rounding the first mark in seventh position and concluded the day in fourth.<\/p>\n

The conditions today were ideal for sailing, with a north easterly 15knot wind and big swells, tomorrow the conditions however look dire with no wind predicted.<\/p>\n
