Prenderà il via domani, 8 gennaio 2022 alle ore 11.00 UTC/ora locale (12.00 ora italiana), l’8a edizione della RORC Transatlantic Race, organizzata dal Royal Ocean Racing Club in collaborazione con Yacht Club de France. Maserati Multi 70 e le altre 31 imbarcazioni iscritte alla regata partiranno in due flotte leggermente scaglionate (alle 11:00 UTC i multiscafi, alle 11:10 UTC i monoscafi) da Puerto Calero, Lanzarote, e percorreranno 2995 miglia superando le Canarie e navigando attraverso l’oceano Atlantico fino all’isola di Grenada, nei Caraibi orientali. Maserati Multi 70 solcherà l’oceano in assetto volante, sfidando in una gara altamente competitiva i tre multiscafi rivali, due dei quali armati di foil di ultima generazione: Argo con Brian Thompson (USA), e PowerPlay che vede a bordo i velisti inglesi Giles Scott (tattico di Ineos Team UK in Coppa America e vincitore di due ori olimpici nella classe Finn) e Miles Seddon (che con Phaedo3 nel 2015 ha stabilito il record su questa tratta). Terzo competitor del team italiano è il maxi trimarano di 80 piedi Ultim Emotion 2 di Antoine Rabaste (FRA). Comune obiettivo sarà infrangere il record di 5 giorni, 22 ore, 46 minuti e 03 secondi, stabilito dal MOD70 Phaedo 3 di Lloyd Thornburg nel 2015. “Prevediamo una regata bella e avvincente anche se la situazione meteo in questo momento appare complicata da una depressione piuttosto bassa che fa sparire l’Aliseo e quindi la rotta classica per i Caraibi si annuncia lenta e con poco vento. Forse la soluzione sarà andare a cercare venti più stabili attorno alla bassa e quindi fare una rotta nord malgrado ci siano alcuni passaggi difficili” spiega Giovanni Soldini. “La gara sarà molto combattuta con tre barche uguali - Maserati Multi 70, PowerPlay e Argo - e Ultim Emotion 2, più grande e molto pericoloso”. Maserati Multi 70 partecipa alla RORC Transatlantic Race per la terza volta dopo aver gareggiato nelle edizioni del 2016 e del 2018, quando ha tagliato per primo la linea del traguardo con un tempo di 6 giorni, 18 ore, 54 minuti e 3 secondi. L’equipaggio che accompagnerà lo skipper Giovanni Soldini è composto da 5 esperti velisti: Vittorio Bissaro, Oliver Herrera Perez, Thomas Joffrin, Francesco Pedol, Matteo Soldini. #MaseratiMulti70 #RORCTransatlanticRace 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/

It has been a very long time since my brothers and I all went sailing. This was the perfect day with gusty winds that forced us to put two reefs in. We sailed the Hooper Island Lighthouse run and made it back no worse for the wear. And none of us got in trouble . . . , at least not that we know of. Subscribe and share the adventure!
