00:04Welcome back to Valencia, it's the penultimate day of the season, the penultimate day of the regatta obviously as well.
00:09It's all to play for, still Petuniavation with a 12 point lead going into today ahead of Sled.
00:15Anything could happen, could we see some fireworks, could we see some match racing?
00:19Let's go afloat and see what happens.
00:22So race 5 is a fairly gentle, probably 6 knots sea breeze this time.
00:26A little bit of swell rolling in but it's quite an even start.
00:31In fact Allegra get away very nicely, so too Katana, Voodoo are over the start line and something goes on
00:37between Sled and Platoon.
00:38Sled get across the line in 8th, Platoon are actually last across the line and have really got some work
00:44to do.
00:44Allegra go well up the early part of the first beat, so do Katana.
00:48Round of the top markets, Katana leading, Alkado round in 2nd, Allegra in 3rd and down the run.
00:53Alkado extend as we've seen in the previous races, they come through with a comfortable win.
00:58Through in 2nd we see a nice recovery coming into the finish with Caballo Loco getting 2nd, No Way Back
01:03gets 2nd, 3rd in a row.
01:05Down in 11th place, Sled take 2 points off Platoon Aviation but it's super tight still at the top of
01:11the season standings.
01:142nd race of the day will actually pre-start, there's a little bit of a match race between Platoon and
01:20Sled.
01:20Platoon manage to extricate themselves from the attention of Sled, make a good start but the two are close together
01:26on the right side of the upwind.
01:28Not looking too good early on initially, it's Gladiator and Paprek off the left end of the line.
01:33They make their early gains and lead round the top mark, Gladiator and Paprek.
01:37At that point it's quite deep for both Platoon and Sled.
01:40Platoon are going round in 8th, they've gained and sailed a little bit away from Sled on that first upwind.
01:46Around the top mark, Gladiator, Paprek no way back.
01:49So it's a nice win for Gladiator, their first win of the regatta so far.
01:53Through in 2nd is Paprek, that enhances their chance of finishing on the podium.
01:58And Platoon Aviation come through in 5th with Sled 3 places behind.
02:02So Platoon Aviation extend their lead at the top of the championship.
02:06So race number 7, potentially the best breeze of the day, up to 12 knots at times.
02:11Nice start, the breeze is quite far to the right coming off the start line.
02:15Certainly the main group is at the committable end of the line.
02:19A couple of boats almost closed out to Caballo, Loco and Allegra principally at that committable end of the line.
02:25No way back, get off the line really nicely.
02:27They're about 4 boats up from the left.
02:29So to Platoon Aviation, they're down in that side, making a good start as well.
02:32Platoon Aviation and Sled come together just a little bit, but Platoon Aviation get away.
02:37Comfortable lead round the top mark from no way back.
02:39Platoon Aviation are in 6th and Sled 7th, down the first run.
02:43And then Platoon Aviation elect to jibe away.
02:46And that does tend to work for them, but it goes on to be a big win for no way
02:50back.
02:50Alkado Settelar come through in 2nd, Alpha Plus through in 3rd.
02:54Very, very close between Alpha Plus and Platoon Aviation.
02:57Platoon Aviation get 4th with Sled down in 11th, their 2nd 11th in a row for today.
03:02It's a comfortable lead in the championship now.
03:0520 points for Platoon Aviation.
03:07Meanwhile, the challenge for the regatta title is between Alkado Settelar, No Way Back and Platoon Aviation.
03:14So the standings for the regatta after 7 races here in Valencia.
03:18Alkado Settelar lead on 34 points.
03:202nd are No Way Back on 35 points.
03:233rd are Platoon Aviation on 40 points.
03:25So going into the final day of the 2026 season, it's the German flag team.
03:30Platoon Aviation leading on 211, 20 points now ahead of Sled.
03:34Sled in 2nd on 231, and they are 20 points ahead of Alkado Settelar, who are 3rd on 251, No
03:42Way Back 4th, 269, and 5th, Paprek now 277.
