Lumijarvi Captures Early Match Race Title in Marina di Scarlino, Italy

Two days of spring weather conditions and a strong North-Eastern breeze marked the second ISAF Grade 3 match racing event in 2015, organized by Club Nautico Scarlino.  Eight teams from five nations faced off in Maremma racing on the Beneteau 750s.  The event win went the way of Finnish Lumijarvi, who went through the event undefeated with seven round robin wins and a dominant semi final performance.  Italiy's Michele Mazzotti was second, and in third place was Armando Miele.

The Race Committee was able to complete a full round robin, with all scheduled matches taking place. The semi-finals were run as well, but there was no time for the finals.
Club Nautico Scarlino's intense 2015 match racing season will continue with three new match racing events, just to confirm that Marina di Scarlino is one of the most famous Italian match racing centers.
