All on the line at 2021 TP52 Worlds

Nine teams will gather for the final event of the 2021 52 SUPER SERIES, the Rolex TP52 World Championship, on November 2-6 in Mallorca, Spain. Not only is the world title up for grabs but points are also close in the season championship.

German owner-driver Harm Müller-Spreer, who has steered his Platoon to two Rolex TP52 World Championship titles, holds the narrowest possible lead of the 52 SUPER SERIES going into this final event.

“Anything can happen here,” said Müller-Spreer. “You can’t take anything for granted here on the Bay of Palma in November, we can get offshore northerly winds which would make it very difficult. And the level is so high and it is so close that any one of a number of boats could win here.”

Müller-Spreer’s team have finished runners up for the overall 52 SUPER SERIES title three times, but will be under threat with just eight points separating the top six teams.

Entry list:
Alegre (Andy Soriano)
Bronenosec (Vladimir Liubomirov)
Code Zero (Marc Blees)
Gladiator (Tony Langley)
Interlodge (Gwen and Austin Fragomen)
Phoenix (Hasso and Tina Plattner)
Provezza (Irgen Imré)
Platoon (Harm Müller-Spreer)
Quantum Racing (Doug DeVos)
Sled (Takashi Okura)
