Quantum Racing won the premier class at the 34th Copa del Rey MAPFRE, TP52s for the third time in a row when they won the final race.
Victory in the Mediterranean’s showcase regatta was a real family affair. Son Dalton DeVos steered the first two days of the regatta before father Doug DeVos took over for the final days.
“That was by far the hardest Copa del Rey that we have won” grinned Hutchinson on the dock at the Real Club Nautica de Palma. “It is a rewarding day and a rewarding win. As much as the DeVos family have given us over the eight years, what an awesome, awesome day for Quantum Racing. To do it with our inspirational leader Doug and his son Dalton doing the first two days of the regatta…..you would say we did not do it the easy way. And yet it is by far the most rewarding.”
Next race, Cascais Cup, September 16th- 20th.
