(Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy)- The J/80 class in Italy continues to
enjoy a passionate following of sailors, much like their J/24 brothers.
This year, the J/80 Winter Champion was JOCONDA. After sailing four
weekends (from February to April 1), the local J/80 fleet was pleased to
have lots of races on the water in front of the Hotel Miramare and the
beautiful bay of Santa Margherita (just around the corner from a very
famous sailing "water-hole" known as Portofino). The racing was tight for the fleet but it was clear that JOCONDA's team had the upper hand over this year's winter sailing season. After 11 races JOCONDA proved they were worthy of being crowned the Winter Champions of the Trofeo Miramare. In second place was class evangelist and long-time support JENIALE! Third in the standings was MONTPRES. For more J/80 Italy sailing information
