The TP52 class is regarded as one of the most competitive classes globally, and the circuit of events, called the '52 Super Series', has just finished its second regatta. Sailmakers, yacht designers, and other marine companies highlight their top-level products to the world in this class that is crammed full of Professionals, Olympic medallists, and America's Cup teams.

After two regattas sailed, there is one common denominator for the two teams coming first and second overall in the 52 Superseries. Both first overall, Platoon, from Germany and second overall, Quantum Racing, from the USA, use upwind and downwind sails from Quantum Sailmakers.

These are the only two yachts in the fleet using Quantum Sails.

Both yachts use Quantum Fusion M Membrane sails and Spinnakers.

The most recent event finished a week ago in Menorca. One final regatta remains. The World Championships, again in Menorca, in November, will determine the overall winner for 2021.
