Desafio Espanol lead by Polish skipper Karol Jablonski has on its account after today's racing one victory and one defeat. After a lot of intensive tacking duels Spanish syndicate managed to beat Mascalzone Latino. It was a very solid fight in which Karol Jablonski proved his high-leveled match racing skills.

Second match with Emirates TNZ was not that successful but still interesting.
"In the second race we faced Emirates TNZ. Our weather team was pointing the left side of the course as a favourable one in terms of wind strenght and wind shifts.
We had a very good start from the pin end and sailed to the left. Our rivals chose the rights side of the course.Unfortunately, the expected shift of wind did not show up and after few tacks we rounded the weather mark with a big lose to our opponents. At the later stage of the race this distance was not shrinking although we constantly tried to attack the NZ team. Our rivals were sailing smart today and deserved this victory. The plan for the day for our team was however completed and this is the most important thing. We will face much more important races and this regatta will definately be hard ones...." - summed up Karol Jablonski.
