Audi Melges 20 Sailing Series Event No. 3 - Calvi Network dominates

by Melges Performance Sailboats amended on 13 Jun 2010 Calvi Nework's Carlo Alberini dominated the first stage of the Audi Melges 20 Sailing Series Event No. 3 on the Riva del Garda.

1,2,2 - These results leave no question as to who is the strongest sailor in the races on the Riva del Garda.

Gabriele Benussi, calling tactics, as usual alongside Carlo Alberini, managed to consistently put Calvi Network in first position or at least in a favorable position.

The first race, delayed slightly by the lack of a consistent wind direction, was won by Calvi Network. By the first windward mark they already led by a substantial margin. Thule's Fausto Rubbini (helmed by Mauro Mocchegiani) with Matteo Ivaldi, finished in second while third place went to Alessandro Molla on Spring Sailing Team (Niccolò Bianchi calling tactics).
