Porto Cervo, 11 June 2019. The third stage of the Melges 24 European Sailing Series concluded a few days ago with Bombarda Racing on the podium once again.

After taking third place a little over a month ago on the regatta course in Malcesine, on their return to the Melges 24 Class after a two-year absence, Pozzi's crew continues to collect great results and claimed second place in Riva del Garda.
The ORC Worlds, which saw 110 boats enrolled, also ended a few days ago. Valentin Zavadnikov, owner of Synergy and a YCCS member, took part in Class A with 13 boats enrolled, finishing in eigth position.
The Rolex Giraglia, meanwhile, is currently underway and sees several YCCS members taking part in their respective divisions. In the IRC 0 category are: Dario Ferrari on Cannonball, Alex Schaerer with Caol Ila, Gibian owned by Armando Grandi, Marietta Strasoldo with Lunz Am Meer and Magic Carpet 3, owned by Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones, fresh from victory in the Performance class at the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta.
