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/

2024 marks 140 years of helping mariners have the time of their lives on the water. Much has changed over the decades, but one thing that has remained is our commitment to crafting innovative vessels that combine elegance and performance. -- 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.
