(Cervia, Italy)- L’ELAGAIN owned by Franco Solerio, along with
assistance from Daniele Cassinari on tactics, took overall victory in
the third leg of the J/70 Alcatel OneTouch Italian Trophy held in Cervia
from 12th to 14th June. The event organized by the local Yacht Club in
collaboration with the J/70 Italian Class saw the national fleet and
Mikael Lindqvist’s ROCAD RACING from Sweden completing 9
windward-leeward races over three days. The water off the pleasant
Adriatic coastal resort served up near perfect conditions with Southerly
breeze ranging from 12 to 16 knots.
