- BH12 Scud and P14 Olympian battle to windward
For the final day at Porto Santo Stefano, a south-easterly breeze at 16-18 knots gusting to 20, not a cloud in the sky and enough of a swell to spray the decks upwind.
What more could one ask for from the fourth and final day of racing of the 21st edition of Argentario Sailing Week?
The crews of the 30 classic yachts representing 117 years of history racing in Tuscany were able to enjoy the breath-taking scenery of Maremma from a completely different point of view compared to the three previous days when the thermal breeze was a westerly one.
After 2 hours and 12 minutes Sumurun owner Alain Moatti (Willam Fife III – 1914) cuts the finish line first overall.
Back on the docks, the crews applauded and cheered the race committee boat as it bade farewell to competitors and arrivederci to the next edition.
