The Italian crews onboard Maidollis and Taki 4 (Corinthian) are again the Melges 24 World Champions.
The Italians aboard Carlo Fracassoli’s Maidollis gained victory only in the very last race of the series, when they managed to overcome Bruce Ayres’ Monsoon, leader of the ranking until that moment, putting the seal on the World title with a net total of 45 points.
Monsoon finished in second (49 pts), followed by an excellent and extremely consistent Bombarda of Andrea Pozzi (57 pts).
The story was similar also in the Corinthian division, where the Marco Zammarchi’s Taki 4, surpassed Storm Capital Sail Racing NOR751 with Peder Jahre on helm only in the last race.
The crew that had led the ranking until the very last day, Lenny EST790 of Tonu Toniste, was overtaken by Storm Capital Sail Racing and Taki 4, eventually finishing the event in third place.
