Al suono dei cannoni della Saluting Battery, una flotta internazionale di 140 yacht ha tagliato la linea del via della 43° edizione della Rolex Middle Sea Race, organizzata dal Royal Malta Yacht Club (RMYC). La classe MOCRA, che conta quest’anno sull’inedita partecipazione di ben cinque trimarani MOD70, in osservanza delle procedure di partenza apre la strada delle 606 miglia nautiche di giro antiorario della Sicilia e delle sue isole, con partenza e arrivo a La Valletta. Una regata che si preannuncia lunga e combattuta, in condizioni di venti molto leggeri dovuti ad un’alta pressione sul Mediterraneo. E se normalmente per terminare il percorso gli yacht più veloci impiegano circa due giorni, secondo i modelli di oggi, la sfida si potrebbe protrarre dai 4 ai 6 giorni. In competizione con Giovanni Soldini e l’equipaggio di Maserati Multi70, che viaggia in configurazione volante, ci sono Axciss (ITA), dell’armatore Cosimo Malesci con skipper Eric Defert; Mana (ITA) di Riccardo Pavoncelli con skipper Paul Larsen; Snowflake (USA), ex Phaedo 3, dell’armatore Frank Slootman con skipper il neozelandese Gavin Brady e Zoulou (FRA), ex Powerplay, di Erik Maris con a bordo Loick Peyron. In classe MOCRA, corrono anche Dakota (NOR), Kia Ora (FR), Minimole (ITA). “Purtroppo il meteo per noi non è assolutamente favorevole. Ci aspettiamo una regata molto lenta, con pochissimo vento e con i nostri foil in acqua non siamo certo i favoriti”. dice Giovanni Soldini, al momento di salpare: “C’è comunque grande entusiasmo: ci sono cinque MOD70 ed è la prima volta che cinque barche così si affrontano in acqua tutte insieme e quindi il morale è alto e come al solito cercheremo di vendere cara la pelle anche se sarà un’impresa”. A bordo di Maserati Multi70, Giovanni Soldini naviga insieme a 8 velisti professionisti: il boat captain Guido Broggi, Matteo Soldini, Francesco Pedol, Oliver Herrera Perez, Frédéric Le Peutrec, Alberto Riva e Francesco Malingri (media man). #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/

Initially designed in 1937 by the renowned Swedish designer Tore Holm, SVEA was not built due to the onset of World War II, and plans were lost for decades. Over 70 years later, the plans were rediscovered and SVEA was commissioned with the intent of participating in the 2017 America's Cup Superyacht Regatta and J-class Regatta in Bermuda. Retaining the heritage of her J-class lines, the original structure and sail plan was thoroughly updated incorporating many new features. To ensure maximum competitiveness, J-class rules were considered throughout the construction, with the management of the delicate weight and balance an essential aspect of the build and finishing process. 80 years after the original drawings were made, SVEA was launched as the longest J-class ever built and won her second-ever race during America's Cup J-class regatta. SVEA's lines and deck are kept spectacularly clean, thanks to the compact wheelhouse, sunken wheel and wonderfully low boom. Her unusually large steering wheel allows the helms-person to position themselves further outboard for a better view of the foresail telltales, a clear performance advantage. SVEA's deck layout optimises modern racing, whilst also being a great guest area whilst the yacht is cruising. SVEA has been meticulously designed with her racing capabilities in mind, however, her interiors are not compromised with a luxurious interior below deck designed by the renowned Pieter Beeldsnijder. SVEA boasts a semi-classic interior which nods to the history of the yacht while providing a contemporary look and feel. Cream panels and walnut veneers keep her bright down below and her main salon benefits from a large deck light, flooding the space with natural light. The galley can be opened up to the comfortable salon and dining area by the dropdown wall panel creating easy access to the galley while racing, and a relaxed breakfast bar and dining area while cruising. With an owner's suite, plus two en suite guest cabins SVEA can accommodate up to 6 guests plus 7 crew members. SVEA is one of the most outstanding yachts of modern times - an incredible fusion of 1937 design and 21st-century technology. Her current owner has spared no expense. SVEA comes with a complete wardrobe of racing sails and a delivery wardrobe, a carbon fibre mast and a 10m Humber RIB. SVEA is an exceptionally advanced and an unsurpassed sailing yacht, she arrives to market as the newly-crowned 2018 J-class champion.
