16th Southern Wind Rendezvous and Trophy in Porto Cervo, Sardinia - Day 2

by Southern Wind Yachts 4 Jun 2022 01:26 NZST 1-5 June 2022

Light breeze in the morning followed by dancing in the evening: Day two of the Southern Wind Rendezvous and Trophy was a celebration both on and off the water.

In the morning the Rendezvous fleet head off for a leisurely sail around the Monaci island, but put a few Southern Wind yachts on the water and watch what happens: SW82 Ammonite and SW96 Sorceress were soon engaged in a spectacular luffing match. Both yachts came to the Rendezvous with some top professional sailors on their crew lists and an eye on preparing for upcoming regattas: today's light but steady breezes offered the perfect conditions for a bit of friendly competition.

Ammonite can now boast Line Honours for the day and a couple of hours of sailing fun proved to be the perfect way to build up an appetite.

Last night the eagerly awaited Southern Wind Owner's dinner was held at La Sasima, an enchanting rural property in the Sardinian countryside. Offered in partnership with our sponsors Gottifredi Maffioli, Pantaenius, Doyle and BAE. The owners of all yachts participating were presented with prizes celebrating their unique contributions to the Southern Wind community.
