Trieste (Italy) - Three days to go to the
start of one of the most iconic regattas of the international scenario,
the Barcolana of Trieste, and the collateral events start entering in
their full rhythm.
Among these events, the sixth act M32 European Series took off today
with five catamarans on the starting line: GAC Pindar by Ian Williams,
Section16 by Richard Davies, Shark Team by Guido Miani, Vikings by Håkan Svensson and Vitamina Veloce by Andrea Lacorte current leader of the M32 Sailing Series ranking.
After a morning briefing and breakfast held in the hospitality lounge,
right in the main square of the city of Trieste, the fleet left the
moorings for the first start of the Fincantieri Cup at 1pm, heading to
the close race course set between the “Molo Audace” and "Molo
Bersaglieri".
Hundreds of spectators were fascinated by the speed of the M32
catamarans and watched the races from the shores of Trieste. The ship
“Amerigo Vespucci” from the Italian navy, moored just few meters away,
made the scenario of the race course even more beautiful.
After five races completed in a whole afternoon of sailing, the
provisional leader of the Fincantieri Cup is GAC Pindar, with a total of
11 points and three bullets. Tied in points with GAC Pindar, Vikings
follows in second position, having scored the other two bullets of the
day.
The light breeze conditions of today were not a favorite for Andrea
Lacorte, who closes the day in third place overall with his Vitamina
Veloce, while Shark Team and Section16 complete the provisional ranking
in fourth and fifth position respectively.
The M32 will get back on the race course tomorrow, at 12pm, for the second and penultimate day of racing of the Fincantieri Cup.
