(Tigullio, Italy)- All was not lost on the 2nd to last weekend of the
35th edition of the Winter Championships in Tigullio. A beautiful
northerly wind helped get the fleet around the beautiful waters off
Tigullio and it was clear that some of the class leaders had it all
figured out.
The team of Frederick Rajola on OLJ SPIRIT-HATAMURI consolidated their
first place position by getting two 3rds and a 1st to get themselves
five points clear of Massimo Rama's JENIALE! in the overall standings,
18 points to 23 points, respectively. Lying third is Paolo Montedonico
sailing MONTPRES with 28 points, having a very strong last weekend with
two 2nds and a 1st! Fourth is Alberto Garibotto on J-BES with 33 points
and 5th is Massimo Zunin's JOCONDA with 40 points.
The final set of races takes place on February 20th, let the games begin
for the final top three on the podium! As shifty as the wind was this
past weekend, anything can happen! For more J/80 Italian class sailing information.
