Yacht Club Capri Host Prestigious Yachts At Sailing Week, North-powered Clients Lead In Four Class Divisions
Rolex Capri Sailing Week is one of the most historic sailing events in Europe. Some would say it is the most important race ever in this area of the World. This years’ edition had roughly 80 boats registered. Clients competed in the Maxi, Mylius, and ORC divisions, having outstanding results across the board. Each year the wind holds up to its promise providing beautiful racing conditions for sailors and allowing the race committee to complete their scheduled races without a hitch. Two windward-leeward races and coastal races made for much excitement as teams sailed around the Bay of Naples, keeping tacticians on their toes as the finishes were close. North-powered clients sailed to win four divisions, sweeping the podium in Maxi R and Maxi RC. In the Mylius Cup Division, clients finished 1st and 2nd, and in ORC-A clients took home the win with a first overall. The famous offshore race, Regatta dei Tre Golfi was won by Maxi 72 Caol Ila R. Congratulations to our clients for your hard work and great camaraderie this year at Sailing Week.
