Sail GP, disappointment Tita in Sydney:

The Sail GP is proving to be demanding for the Italian team in the race, Red Bull who has in Ruggero Tita – twice Olympic gold – his titled Skipper. Even in the third stage in the bay of Sydney, one of the iconic places for the circuit sailing, the boys of Luna Rossa have not shone, on the contrary. With a series of mediocre tests they closed with 10 points, putting the Mubulada Brazil at the stern that has at the helm Martine Grael, daughter of the Ace Torben and she too with two Olympic golds in the Palmarès. The worst made only Germans and US, who ended up off the ranking between penalties and hull problems. Returning to Red Bull, this is the series out of seven tests: 9-10-9-8-10-11. Tita obviously looks to the future and still tries to see positive. “Sydney offered a complex tender context and we dealt with a highly competitive group. Although the results have not been in our favor, each regatta has given us important ideas to grow and learn “. Giulia Fava, Andrea Tesei, Kyle Langford, Enrico Voltolini, Alex Sinclair, Brad Farrand and Maelle Frascari alternated with the Sailist Trentino, aboard Red Bull. The ninth place in the circuit ranking cannot satisfy them.

In the final battle, where the F50 catamarans touched peaks of 93.54 km/h, the aussie led by Tom Sllingsby have made themselves a bit to take their hand: they made the Canadians fall from the foils, but they incurred a hard penalty To have forced an intersection with the British and have no longer been able to recover by closing the final in third place. So success for Emirates Gbb, with Skipper that Dylan Fletcher who was Sir Ben Ainsiel’s “rudder” in the victory of Ineos Britannia against Luna Rossa in the last Louis Vuitton Cup. The ranking after Australia sees the Danes of Rockwool then i Team of Switzerland, France and Spain while it also went badly to New Zealand who are also led by Peter Burling, the dominant of the last America’s Cup.
