Thanks to a solid performance Andrea Racchelli’s Altea (2-3-10) is now leading the fleet with 11 points margin on Estonian crew of Tõnu Tõniste on Lenny (7-10-3), first hour overall leader of the event and still at top of the ranking of the very competitive Corinthian division.

The day was full of “number ones” for Michael Goldfarb’s War Canoe (1-11-1), that interrupts two bullets with an eleventh, demonstrating some really good speed, almost the same one that he demonstrated in 2018, when he was the winner of the Melges 24 European Sailing Series in Portoroz.

The fourth position is still in the hands of Sergio Caramel’s Arkanoé by Montura (4-20-13): a convincing performance, enhanced by the presence on board of two local experts, as well as former Olympians, Karlo Hmeljak and Vid Jeranko.

On the fifth spot of the ranking we find the second force of the Corinthians: Jonas Berntsson’s SWE-715 (9-12-35), now tied on points with the guys of Miles Quinton’s Gill Race Team (5-14-11), James Peters at helm.

Third in the Corinthian’s group is Marco Zammarchi’s Taki 4 (15-30-2) with Niccolo Bertola helming, that ended the day with a brilliant second overall.

Tomorrow racing will resume at 1 pm: weather conditions are expected like today, with some north westerly breeze blowing between 8 and 12 knots.
