A beautiful backdrop for a brutal battle of wills. Lake Garda lived up to its reputation as the famous Ora from the south kicked in for Act 3 of the J/70 Cup. Fifty boats enjoyed eight intense races in an international fleet that pulled out all the stops to the end.
Matteo Marenghi Vaselli at the helm of G-Spot set his stall out in the leading group from the start. Eighth on Garmin Day, he and his crew showcased their speed and tactical clarity in the transition phases for the next seven races to clinch 3rd in the final ranking. A well-deserved podium finish at a venue that punishes the slightest hesitation.
Also representing YCM, Pierrik Devic (YCM) never lost ground. After his 32nd place on Garmin Day, he adapted well to conditions to climb back up the ranking and finish 19th overall. In what was a technically challenging situation, he and his crew’s consistency and navigation skills paid off.
