Italians from Yacht Club Italiano triumph by a whisker
It could not have been closer. The Monaco Optimist Team Race ended Sunday at the end of an intense week on a challenging Monaco race area for the 15 teams from 12 nations competing. Organised by Yacht Club de Monaco, supported by Monaco Marine, FxPro, North Sails, Erplast and Peace and Sport, the 14th edition confirmed this event’s unique role in the development of young international sailors, who were honoured by a visit from the Monegasque Formula 1 driver, Charles Leclerc. The Italians from Yacht Club Italiano emerged the winners after a hard-fought high-level duel with the Danes from Danish Dynamite, who had held on to their lead up to that point. Four boats against four, short races and having to keep a constant eye on the competition, the team race format once again lived up to expectations. For Bernard d’Alessandri, YCM Director and General Secretary, the event goes beyond the rankings: “Young people learn that they must look beyond individual results to get results for the team. They learn to coordinate and interact with young people of their own age. It’s a wonderful training ground for life”.
