Day 4 RC44 Porto Cervo Cup - Deserved first time RC44 victory for Alexander Novoselov’s Katusha

Two full seasons dedicated to the RC44 class paid off today for Russian Alexander Novoselov, his American tactician Andy Horton and the crew of Katusha, when they won their first ever RC44 Championship event. Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda has offered the complete range of conditions for the nine teams racing at the RC44 Porto Cervo Cup this week, from very light to very strong. Despite a forecast indicating the wind would drop off, today it was definitely the latter. Yesterday’s Mistral conditions had abated slightly, the 25+ knot westerlies being at the very top of what RC44s and their crews can endure. The RC44 Porto Cervo Cup is the second event of the 2017 RC44 Championship Tour, which pits the world's top businessmen and the best sailors in the industry compete in high-performance one-design 44-foot carbon racing yachts.
