RC44 Championship Tour – Cagliari – Come successo a Porto Rotondo, anche a Cagliari il vento non si è presentato e a Peter “Luigi” Reggio altro non è rimasto da fare che mandare in porto agli equipaggi con un niente di fatto.

Giunti a pari punti, BMW Oracle Racing e Team Aqua sono stati classificati primo e secondo sulla base del piazzamento ottenuto nell’ultima manche. Anche il confronto dei parziali, infatti, non era servito a risolvere la parità: tanto gli statunitensi che gli uomini di Chris Bake hanno ottenuto 2 primi, un terzo e un quarto.

Terza posizione per Puerto Calero Islas Canarias di José Juan Calero, salito sul podio grazie a un punto di margine su Team Ceeref di Igor Lah.

L’appuntamento con l’RC44 Championship Tour è fissato per la fine di maggio sul lago Traunsee in Austria.

BMW ORACLE RACING WINS THE FLEET EVENT IN CAGLIARI

[RC44 Press Release]
The wind carried on playing tricks with the Cagliari Cup organisers today. Despite a good forecast and some promising moments, Peter Luigi Reggio had no other option but to send all the teams back to port at 14.30 PM.

Winner of the fleet regatta, Larry Ellison’s BMW Oracle Racing also grabs the Cagliari RC44 Cup – the combined fleet & match race ranking – ahead of Chris Bake’s Team Aqua and Igor Lah’s Ceeref. Aqua, Ceeref and Torbjorn Tornqvist’s Artemis finish the event on a tie, with seven points each; however the fleet race results are taken into account to separate the teams on equal points, hence offering the silver to Bake and the bronze to Lah.

The Cagliari RC44 Cup has not offered a wide range of sailing conditions to the teams. Indeed, all the races have taken place in less than 12 knots of wind, and often in very light conditions. Nevertheless, the races have been exciting and the teams seem to be closer than ever. Also interesting to note that the results are very different from the last regatta in Puerto Calero, proving that the Class’s one-design concept gives equal chances to all the teams and that the newcomers have the opportunity to get excellent results, as shown this week by the Calero brothers and their team on board “Islas Canarias Puerto Calero”.

The next regatta will take place in Lake Traunsee, a mountain lake located in Austria, on May 27 – 31.
