(Marina di Carrara, Italy)- Thanks to a “winning poker hand” (e.g. good
luck on the tactics), JAMAICA and her skipper Peter Diamond crushed the
fleet with a 1-1-2-1-2-4-4-1 scoreline for just 12 pts to easily take
the final victory in the Italian J/24 Spring Championship. The event
was organized and perfectly hosted by the Club Nautico Marina di Carrara
under the auspices of the Italian Sailing Federation and marks the
first stage in the Italian National J/24 series.If JAMAICA was dominant, there was an excellent “comeback story” for the team from Trieste, JOC’s skipper Fabio Apollonio, overcome a 5th place in the first race, won the second place, and finished with a 5-2-4-2-1-3-2-3 record for 17 pts to snag second overall for the regatta. Taking third for the regatta was “Giuseppe Verdi Antonio Valenti” owned and skippered by the young James Del Nero, amassing a very consistent 2-5-1-4-3-5-3-2 record. Taking fourth was TALLY HO sailed by Luca Macchiarini and in fifth was COCCE sailed by Riccardo Pacini.
"After
the previous weekend in which the weather conditions only permitted two
races, the Race Committee headed by Admiral D'Amico, were able to
recover by letting us carry out six races in two days this weekend.
Eight race in four days is a good result for everyone,” said Peter
Diamond. “The formula of the two weekend shows once again that it works
well for crew’s participation in the Championship and that it helps to
limit the number of Sundays away at sea from their families. We spent
two wonderful weekend of sailing, thanks to the participation of our
friends from Trieste, Parma and La Spezia." For more Italian J/24 Spring Championship sailing information
