D-One Volvo Cup Act 1 at Circolo Vela Erix, Lerici, Italy

by Michele Tognozzi 23 Apr 2012 16:48 BST 21-22 April 2012

Two fantastic days of sailing and fun in Lerici for the Volvo Cup D-One opening event organized by Media Vip, Devoti Sailing and Circolo Vela Erix. A well trained fleet of 16 boats from 3 countries showed big improvement after the winter training to race the complete 4-race program.

Hungarian Balasz Tomai, former Laser and now Melges 24 sailor, took the event winning race 3 and the final double-point race after a hearth-breaking duel against argentinian Agustin Zabalua (RCNV, Valencia). Third was Beppe Pontremoli (Yacht Club Italiano, Genoa), first italian sailor in the fleet.

SSW wind from 12 to 18 knots, with 1.5 metre waves, gave the fleet lot of fun and excitement.

The next event of the Volvo Cup D-One will be in Bracciano Lake, close to Rome, on May 26-27. The 2012 D-One Gold Cup will be held in Alassio next October from the 12nd to the 14th.
