J/70 ITALIAN CUP – EVENT 2, Porto Ercole

Enfant Terrible Holds The Lead In A Super Tight Finish

With winds from 6 to 18 knots in Porto Ercole, the weekend was a true test for fifty European J/70 teams, with nine nations being represented, at the second event of the 2018 J/70 Italian Cup. North clients Alberto Rossi’s Enfant Terrible and Noe Gianfranco’s Calvi Network once again fought for the first place finishing with only two points difference. Congratulations to team Enfant Terrible, their consistency lead them to win the regatta.

“It was a great fight between the top three boats and the victory was decided in the last meters of the last downwind leg!” said North expert and tactician on Calvi Network, Giulio Desiderato

In the Corinthian division, Peppu Marinelli’s Uji Uji took the lead finishing in an exceptional sixth place overall, followed closely behind by Alessandro Zampori’s Noberasco Das, who finished in seventh place. Rounding off the podium in ninth place was Paolo Tomsic’s La Femme Terrible. All top three Corinthian teams were powered by North Sails, proving again that there is no faster and more forgiving sails for the J/70 class.
