On the weekend of 18 and 19 November, numerous and high-level boats entered the second stage of the West Liguria winter championship, the AUTUMN REGATTA.
Despite the little wind of 5 knots from a south-southwest direction, albeit shortened, two races were held on Saturday and Sunday. In the ORC Class clear dominance of the Melges 32 Big Bang, owned by Arturo Mazzanti, which had no opponents in the light airs, ahead in the general classification of Sarchiapone Fuoriserie which with two third places placed in second place ahead of the Swan 42 Suspiria the Revenge, with in tactics the Olympic medal of the Ukrainian Yevgen Braslavets.
The three boats are confirmed in the same position also in the IRC ranking. In the Cruise Regatta class, the glorious Gulliver, Show 34 with the entire Orlando family on board, wins. Second place was Giuba, by Giovanni Gerosa, and third place was Melissa II, by Dario Gioffredo.
This class, like ORC 3, took part in only one race as the drop in wind on Sunday did not allow the day’s race to be completed.
In ORC 3 victory went to Obi Wan, by Elisa Minio, ahead of Grifone di Mare, by Gianni Trapani, and Piccolo Diavolo Rosso, by Sabina Seva and Dario Salcito.
At the end of both day trials, pasta party for all the racers at the Club headquarters, waiting for the next weekend, that of 2 and 3 December, with the Gorilla Gang Cup stage and related super party.
