Having found an energy dispenser we recover the last two days of the Primo Cup.
After the “extreme” first day, the second has seen the weather reducing its power, and the third again with the extra of the sun. On the second day the wind was in the range of 10-20kts, while the third swap more between 10 and 2kts, and this has produced also more kind wave.
So this year the sailors could test theirs skill in all condition from near storm to near rowing condition.
On the water the battle has remain quite intense, every error has reclaimed a solution; G-Spot has nearly close the match but the fleet want the revenge!

Unluckily we couldn’t follow on full-time the races soon the other field, but here the drama for the Smeralda 888 was important, in particular the AP over Alpha flag has cut all hopes to the final battle!
They went down on the water with a 2 point between the first Millennium Falcon and Vamos Mi Amor and 4 for the third.
Yes, Canard a l’Orange has paid a so big price from the first day, that with 2,1,1 places in the last 3 races could just keep the last step of the podium, showing that the crew is very strong!
Luke Skywalker and Han-Solo on their spaceship (you choose who is who between Marco FAVALE + Tommaso CHIEFFI) have controlled the Prince behind has been repeatedly bite the Black Star keeping Vamos Mi Amor down from the podium all Day (yeah, I’m not the only fan of Star Wars o the water).
Everything has been closed by the Prize Giving ceremony full of VIP and local authorities, with cups for the winner and plate from the club and “gift” from the new sponsor NorthSails.
