Coastal Station accompanies Atlantis Cup® 2023 fleet
2Hot2Handle was the fastest in the second ocean stage
The second ocean race of the Atlantis Cup® – Autonomy Regatta 2023, connecting the islands of São Miguel and Terceira, had the support of Escola do Mar dos Açores and Estação Costeira.
A race marked by wind surges and areas where the only communications with the fleet were carried out by the Coastal Station, which provided meteorological information via radio.
“This partnership with Escola do Mar dos Açores and Estação Costeira is very important for the Atlantis Cup®. It is a new partnership that brings better safety conditions to navigation and transmits useful information, such as meteorology”, explains Frederico Soares, vice-president of Clube Naval da Horta.
2Hot2Handle, by António Tânger Corrêa, was the fastest in the second oceanic stage, arriving in Angra do Heroísmo shortly after 8am today (Wednesday). The Atlantis Cup® 2023 fleet left Ponta Delgada yesterday, at 11:00 am.
Allegro Vivace, owned by Bruno Rosa, was second fastest, followed by the sailboat Ideia Fixa, owned by Duarte Barcelos.
The finish line, in Angra do Heroísmo (Terceira), closes today at 9pm.
