Also finishing on 14 points were the Briand 108 Inoui in third, owned by YCCS member Marco Vogele with Gavin Brady as tactician, and fourth-placed 39-metre Tripp yacht Cervo, making its debut at the Giorgio Armani Superyacht Regatta.
Juan Ball, owner of Moat said, “This is our third consecutive victory in the Giorgio Armani Superyacht Regatta, but it is the result of constant work to improve the boat throughout the year.
“I would like to thank Giorgio Armani for their support of the regatta, and the YCCS – of which I am a member and which I love dearly – for the organisation, and all the participants who return every year regardless of who wins. This is a unique regatta, thanks to the spirit that sets it apart and the extraordinary location where it takes place.”
In the White class, another win today cemented the lead for the SW 96 Liberty Squared, with Bouwe Bekking on tactics. Second place overall went to Nostromo, followed by Sørvind by Giorgio Armani with tactician Tommaso Chieffi, who delivered an excellent second-place finish today, just 41 seconds behind the winner.
It’s been a fantastic week; this is my fifth time taking part in the Giorgio Armani Superyacht Regatta and it’s always a wonderful week,” commented Carlo Pirzio Biroli, owner of Liberty Squared.
“We were lucky with the weather, managing to race on all four days. The Race Committee did an excellent job of keeping the fleet together along the racecourse. Sailing alongside the other boats, so close together, was truly thrilling and fun at the same time.”
The Corinthian division was won by the Dubois 100 Nostromo, ahead of Sørvind by Giorgio Armani in second place and Magic Blue in third.
