Victory in the third act of the Melges 24 European Sailing Series goes to Maidollis ITA854 of Gian Luca Perego with an impressive 1-2-1-3-RET-1 scoreline.
After two days of powerful Melges 24 sailing at the third event in Riva del Garda, with boats surfing downwind in gusts of Ora wind at more than 20 knots, the last day of the Melges 24 European Sailing Series’ was a no race day.
Uncertain weather with intermittent thunder showers didn’t allow the wind to fill in properly and to complete the last three races of the series.
On the podium with the crew of Maidollis, were two other Italians crews, Bombarda ITA860 of owner-driver Andrea Pozzi, and the reigning World Champions Andrea Racchelli’s Altea ITA722 in third place.
The Corinthian division, went to Tõnu Tõniste’s Lenny EST790 (fourth place of the overall ranking) second Taki 4 ITA778 of Marco Zammarchi with Niccolo Bertola helming, and Miles Quinton’s Gill Race Team GBR694 with Geoff Carveth at the helm in third place.
