On Lake Garda Trentino-Italy, with the organisation of Circolo Vela Arco, Consorzio Garda Trentino Vela and the Italian Sailing Federation, the Dart 18 Catamaran World Championships are in full swing.
About sixty crews, who in the first three days of competition competed in a total of six races with a very challenging start due to the strong wind (18-22 knots) and the insidious wave, which put some crews in difficulty.
Italy took the lead with Alessandro Siviero, the Ferrara-born helmsman who has been at the top of the national and international rankings in the Dart 18 class for several years now, and for this Championship was racing with young Giacomo Parasacchi Bozzoli on his bow.
The pair leads with four victories, a second and a third, which currently gives them a 9-point advantage over the French Hervé and Melania Le Maux. Third are the Austrians Klampfer-Berger.
The world champions titles will be awarded on Saturday, 27 August, after the last two days of racing.
