J/80 Blue Project Club Opens in Italy

J/80 sailing off Italy (Chiavari (Genoa), Italy)- As they continue to grow their sailing club and sailing course offerings, the BLUE PROJECT team will begin their programs in Marina di Chiavari (GE) on board of their J/80s in June of this year.

The program offers sailors an opportunity to improve their sailing capabilities with excellent instructors in one of the most beautiful places to sail in all of Italy.  Situated along the famous coastline that runs along Santa Margherita Ligure to Portofino, it offers a great chance to have a wonderful vacation and learn the nuances of sailing in the sensitive, fun-to-sail J/80 class sailboats.

She is a Match Race Champion and has been 5th in the ISAF World Rankings.  She is a French woman that lives in Chiavari and has been a habituĂ© of the J/80 class.  Her regular crew are, in fact, (from the bow in the above photo) Fausto Surini, Mattia Capurso, Andrea Trani and Martino Tortarolo- her team for sailing J/80 events.
