Photos from the second day of the Magic Marine BetPro D-One Gold Cup

The moderate winds prevailed for a second day in Valencia but the 30 D-One's battling it out for the Magic Marine BetPro D-One Gold Cup had two very close races, especially among the top three sailors, Argentina's Agustín Zabalúa, Croatia's Ivan Gaspic and Zsombor Berecz from Hungary. Zabalúa scored two bullets but only after sweating hard and weaving his way through the fleet. The final stretch of the second race's last run was truly nail-biting and Zabalúa snatched his victory right at the finish. Zabalúa, Gaspic and Berecz probably gybed 7-8 times in the last 20 meters. With another two races scheduled for Sunday everything is up for grabs.
