After the first two days of racing were cancelled at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup 2024, it was good to see the fleet take to the water off Porto Cervo on Day 3. In light airs Maxi Divisions 1 and 2 sailed two windward/leeward races, with the rest of the fleet heading north on an islands course around La Maddalena Island. By midday the breeze had reached 12-13 knots making for some great imagery.
