The 1.42 second lead that team Kaiku achieved over main rivals Urdaibai in the first regatta of the Concha Flag could represent a huge advantage, despite being small. History proves that comebacks are rare, with barely more that a dozen being recorded over the years. Furthermore, on seven occasions a less-than-two second advantage has been enough to win!
