Here we are at the starting line!

There’s no two without three.

Perfect weather conditions really bring us joy to our first racing day: blue sky, sun and a southeasterly breeze of about 14 knots were waiting for us at the starting line.


Course no. 9 foresees a Virgin Gorda Tour of about 28 miles: we started with a first windward mark and then the fleet went on a fetch inside the Dog Islands and down to Ginger Island, where we have been the first A Division yacht to arrive!

We ended with a long leg at close reach along the western side of the Island. Everything was going really well apart from a wind hole that met us firstly and that involuntarily warned our opponents, so that they avoided in loosing some really precious minutes!




Nevertheless we are really satisfied of an honorable third place and of the yacht performance! Now the crew is arranging their plans for tomorrow race to do even better.


..but tonight everybody is going to celebrate at the Crew Party!
