To ED, check video: “Piano,Piano” helming at 66, Ugo Ferrari, F18 Master World Champ. You have ten more years at least to achieve the same. So no more excuses to grab helm after LA.

By Lamberto Cesari– Intense day at the Italian F18 Nationals, with De Koning-Visser dominating the fleet and guaranteeing themselves the final victory with two races in advance (1-1-3-1 today). Behind them tough fight for the second place and Italian title. In 15kts of wind and waves mixed team Sorrentino-Pennati is still on the top positions (2-5-4-6) but Bissaro-De Paoli have caught up. Unfortunately they lost a protest in the second race (4-DSQ-1-3).
After ten races and two to go Sorrentino-Pennati are second with 34 points, dutch duo Delnooz-Gering third at the same point and Bissaro-De Paoli fourth with 36.
