Alle 22:45 UTC di lunedì 24 ottobre (00:45 del 25 ottobre ora italiana), Giovanni Soldini e l’equipaggio di Maserati Multi70 hanno tagliato il traguardo della 43a edizione della Rolex Middle Sea Race, organizzata dal Royal Malta Yacht Club, terzi in linea d’arrivo in tempo reale, concludendo la prova, in 2 giorni, 13 ore, 45 minuti e 3 secondi. Mana, di Riccardo Pavoncelli con skipper Paul Larsen, primo all’arrivo dei cinque MOD70 in gara, con un tempo di 2 giorni, 13 ore, 32 minuti e 38 secondi, ha prevalso per un solo minuto su Zoulou, ex Powerplay, di Erik Maris con a bordo Loick Peyron. In quarta posizione, a distanza più marcata, ha completato la corsa anche Snowflake (USA), ex Phaedo 3, dell’armatore Frank Slootman con skipper il neozelandese Gavin Brady. Su Maserati Multi 70, insieme a Giovanni Soldini, il boat captain Guido Broggi, Matteo Soldini, Francesco Pedol, Oliver Herrera Perez, Frédéric Le Peutrec, Alberto Riva e Francesco Malingri (media man). Le 606 miglia di regata - un giro antiorario della Sicilia e le sue isole, con partenza e traguardo a Malta - quest’anno sotto un’alta pressione anomala, hanno intrappolato l’intera flotta tra bonacce e venti leggeri, con un ingaggio continuo dei MOD70 in prima linea che sul finale ha regalato momenti ad alta intensità. Le prime parole di Giovanni Soldini dalla linea di arrivo: “E’ stata una regata entusiasmante e allo stesso tempo molto difficile, partita subito in salita con condizione avversa per la nostra barca. Malgrado ciò siamo riusciti a tenere un ritmo molto alto e sono veramente contento dei progressi fatti con Maserati anche con vento leggerissimo e leggero”. Ogni miglio è stato tenacemente conquistato fin dall’uscita dal Grand Harbour de La Valletta. Maserati Multi70, l’unico dei trimarani in assetto volante, sapeva che avrebbe sofferto con i foil in acqua in condizione di vento leggero, ma l’andamento lento e irregolare della corsa ha mandato in stallo e poi aperto spiragli diversi, e nello slalom di scelte tattiche e bordi a cercare un po’ di vento, anche una disavventura: “In un momento di ripresa, la faccenda è stata aggravata da un piccolo incidente a bordo,” racconta Soldini, “Fred (Frédéric Le Peutrec) è andato su uno scafo laterale per controllare gli avversari, e da lì mettendo un piede in fallo è scivolato ed è caduto in acqua. Non è stato niente di tragico, era notte ma l’equipaggio era super preparato e abbiamo reagito molto velocemente, lo abbiamo recuperato a vela subito e la cosa per fortuna si è chiusa con quattro risate e un po’ di tempo perso nelle manovre”. Nel tratto finale, tra Lampedusa e Malta, Mana e Zoulou hanno prima irrobustito e poi visto allentarsi il margine di vantaggio, e Maserati Multi70 ne ha approfittato per riacciuffare gli avversari senza però riuscire nell’impresa, inseguita fino al fotofinish, di capovolgere il risultato. #MaseratiMulti70 #RolexMiddleSeaRace Sito web: https://maserati.soldini.it/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/giovannisoldini/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giovanni_soldini/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/giovannisoldini/

Hayrack boom option A Sparcraft Masts option that allows the mast and stack pack to consume less vertical space. This one is another upgrade and another one we will have on Mira. We originally thought about the in-boom furling option, but when this option was added, we changed our minds. Advantages: Allows the boom to be lowered (and with changes to how the spinnaker halyard exits) the mast can get below 65’ from the water (ICW bridge compliant) with no change to sail area Wider sail flaking area which makes putting the sail away easier This also allows the lazy jacks to attach further outboard on the boom, making snagging battens while hoisting way less likely Disadvantages It cost more. Way less than the inboom furling system, but still about a $4k upgrade

Earth Day may only come once a year, but our commitment to sustainability lasts year-round. That’s the philosophy behind our Oceanis 30.1e and First 44e sailboats, incorporating earth-friendly propulsion systems to minimize your eco-impact while still maximizing your fun on the water. -- About BENETEAU -- The first BENETEAU boats sailed from the shipyards of Croix-de-Vie over 140 years ago. Since that time, the BENETEAU brand has been synonymous with quality and innovation to all those who have taken to the water – first by the fishermen who made their livelihood from the sea and then by the legions of recreational boaters around the globe. Over the years, our commitment to innovating and embracing ideas, no matter how unconventional, has been at the forefront of who we are in order to bring you the best boat possible. BENETEAU was one of the first boatbuilders many years ago to use computer-aided design (CAD) as well as lighter, stronger composite building materials. We’ve also been at the cutting edge of using greener materials and processes to do our part in protecting the incredible world which we explore. However, all this innovation doesn’t mean we’ve turned our back on tradition. One thing we’ve discovered in over a century of boatbuilding is that new-world innovations work best with old-school craftsmanship. This combination has resulted in some of the most iconic sailboats and powerboats in the world – supremely seaworthy yachts renowned for their sense of style, luxury, and comfort along with their creative use of space and new technologies. -- Philosophy -- We’re a lot like you. We love the water in all its forms – the ocean, bays, lakes, and rivers. And we love sharing the boating lifestyle with our family and friends. This love manifests itself in every BENETEAU built in any one of our many manufacturing facilities worldwide. Every BENETEAU sailboat and powerboat on the water reflects the best efforts of the finest architects, designers, and craftsmen along with the highest quality materials and the latest innovations. When you purchase a BENETEAU, you become a valued member of our BENETEAU family. For this reason, our after-sale service is second to none as evidenced by the multitude of National Marine Manufacturers CSI Awards for Excellence in Customer Service. At the core of this outstanding service is our exceptional dealer network. Every one of our authorized BENETEAU dealers will be there for you – from choosing the right yacht to the handover and beyond. Your dealer will be your able guide when it comes to maintaining your boat properly and will help you maximize the return on your investment when it comes time to step up to another BENETEAU – and it usually does! We wouldn’t have it any other way.
