“Two days of sailing at Arco (North Garda Lake) for the the penultimate round of the season organizated by Circolo Vela Arco.
Perfect conditions for these catamarans with 15-18 knots range. Sunshine and mild temperatures of late summer have complete a great package. So fast and fun, and six races completed, all those scheduled in the program by the Race Committee, that showed timely management and organization.
Also at shore the club has shown throughout their hospitality. The winner are the “locals” Circolo Vela Arco Ferraglia-Bianchini, with 4 bullets lefting no chance for the others competitors, second place for Fantasia – Recalcati, already third in the Italian Championship, close to the podium Vice Champion Italian De Paoli-Cesari.
