Louise Racing starts the 2nd Cascais Dragon Winter Series on the lead.

With three scheduled races for the first day of the championship and with a less encouraging weather forecast, the fleet made up of 13 dragons, from 7 nations, managed to complete the program with the wind from the south quadrant of 6 to 9 knots of intensity, sometimes with light fog. .

Louise Racing, captained by Grant Gordon and supported by Olympic medalist Luke Patience, Faye Chatterton and Elliot Hanson, did not leave much of a margin to the other competitors by winning two of the three races on the first day. The Scottish team was very happy to finish the first day in the highest place on the podium. “It's great to be back in Cascais even with the weather a little cloudy. We are glad with our results especially because we are debuting a PetitCrow 6.1 that we put in the water for the first time two days ago. We are glad with the speed of the boat and the team is doing a fantastic job.” commented Grant Gordon

The second position was filled by Xavier Vanneste's Belgian Herbie team and completed by experienced local sailors Gustavo Lima and Frederico Pinheiro de Melo. Cloising out the podium at the end of the first day was Pete Cooke's boat with Torvar Mrisky, Peter Nicholas and Harry Durcan.

This championship has the support of the Municipal Chamber of Cascais, the Cascais Tourism Association, the Cascais Marina, Vista Alegre and Petitcrows.
