After yesterday’s two bullets, the day in PalmaVela was marked by a superb hat trick by Audi Azzurra Sailing Team. The race committee gave the starts of the first two races under a light and unstable breeze while the third and final one saw a fresh breeze between 15 and 18 knots kick in. Even under these changing wind conditions Azzurra had three commanding victories, always in the lead of the fleet. Once again, Azzurra’s results reflected the flawless crew work, excellent tactical calls in what was a tricky race course and a new boat that shows very good speed, helmed by either the skipper, Guillermo Parada, or her owner, Alberto Roemmers.
“Today was definitely a nice day – stated a jubilant Guille Parada moments after docking in – things are going the correct way. I would like to share this happy feeling with our owner Alberto Roemmers who was at the helm, with our sponsor Audi and the YCCS Commodore, Riccardo Bonadeo.”
From a technical standpoint, this is the analysis of Vasco Vascotto: “The result speaks for itself, we cannot but be happy! The most positive fact is the crew’s constant improvement, we are not perfect but we are understanding where we can improve.”
After today’s result, Azzurra moves to the top of the leaderboard, ahead of Quantum and Ran.
