Paul Larsen, tactician on Allegra added: “This is a perfect place for multihull sailing, really special, it’s right in the mix of loading these boats up and on the edge of flying hulls, and then you look at the scenery and just go whizzing past and try and not be distracted by it.
“Racing with our opponent was always tight, today we lost the race by a minute, probably because we had a little too much weight on board.
“Every detail can make the difference, from gusts to the speed of manoeuvres, that’s why we updated the boat with faster winches, and you can see the results. It’s beautiful, it was amazing.”
Michael Illbruck, Commodore of YCCS concluded: “I’m delighted with the success, both at sea and ashore, of our regatta dedicated to superyachts.
“I’d like to thank Giorgio Armani for having chosen the YCCS and the Superyacht Regatta. We have a lot of values in common and our Piazza Azzurra was busier than ever. On behalf of the YCCS, I’d like to thank the owners that return year after year with their yachts, who are the stars of this event.
The Race Committee did a great job handling the conditions, choosing the best course each day in this idyllic setting. My thanks go to them, the International Jury and the entire YCCS staff who organised an excellent event.”
The next edition of the Giorgio Armani Superyacht Regatta is scheduled for 2023.
The next sailing events at the YCCS will be the Italia Yachts Sailing Week from 15 to 18 June and the ORC World Championship from 22 to 30 June.
