D-One regatta 2013 Elena Giolai/Fraglia Vela Riva
The D-One regatta which was held at Riva del Garda and organized by Fraglia Vela Riva, has Nick Craig of Great Britain as its winner. A total of three races were completed with relatively light winds compared to what we usually have on Upper Garda. On Saturday, the first day, two races were held with a southerly wind of 12 knots which dropped during the second race. On Sunday the crews raced at 8.30 a.m. with a light northerly wind.
Nick Craig, who is the winner of the prestigious British award 'Pantaenius Yachtsman of the Year, 2011', as well as winner of no less than seven world titles and 22 nationals in the 'OK Dinghy' class, set the standard with two firsts and a second. Michele Mennuti (YC Italiano), of Italy came second with a third, a fourth and a first in the final race. In third place from the same club was Alessandro Novi. His best result was a third place in the final race after a fourth and a sixth.
It's full steam ahead at Fraglia Vela Riva as the seasonal courses start for the youngest beginners and next week the 63rd edition of Intervela gets under way which will also include the participation of the '505 class'.
