Linnea Aurora turns the tables as it gets tight at the top at Superyacht Cup Palma
A bigger and better breeze welcomed the racing fleet on the second day of the Superyacht Cup Palma 2025, resulting in full-tilt sailing around the 23nm five-leg racecourse.
With her opening day technical problem resolved the magnificent Hoek Truly Classic 128 Linnea Aurora led the fleet away, and in a remarkable reversal of fortune raced her way to Class A victory in what was her first ever competitive outing. And just to show that nothing comes easily, the 39m sloop had to request a short race start postponement after being delayed by a ship in Palma port. As it turned out she was able to cross the line within seconds of her new staggered start time. "We are very thankful to the race committee and the other competitors for letting us come in a little bit late," said tactician Magnus Woxen . "So we made the start line, that was our first goal of the day, and the second was of course to win, and with a good team spirit and good work we pulled it off. The conditions were really nice.
