Saturday,
the day starts with indecision on setting up the tree, when in doubt I'm going to step up pressure on the mast-jack, so that what they tell me that those coming from Genoa, and out of the sea 'and then to all white remove up to 2 turns on swivels becomes more time .....

morality we have not tried it the headsail if it were appropriate to the wind ...... ADJUSTMENT not, and out there 'less air than expected.
approach it very badly the starting line, we are far and in the third row can lose a port tack hole in which fit, comes another boat that pulls the train, viriamo behind, we complete the turn, and a boat that arrives at twice the speed we call the barley water to which we respond to the touch but with the stern, a little 'the general confusion, but we started on a starboard tack obligate us away from the boat upwind buoy ...... finally realizes (... maybe a little help from our expletives) that should turn, because on this board does not approach, we viriamo, but here come very fast (.... Sanctuary compliments) that pulling them on board .... poor while other of our class are lost horizon. Windward corner and we do not we stop at every wave and we find it hard to leave, suspected of being ever so slightly wrong with the setting of the tree, we are also a bit 'confusing for the start and then we are far behind us ... at the windward mark in real-detached 10th 3 minutes from the ninth, the wind picks up a bit 'and here begins the fun part .... for us not miss anything we do not listen to the navigator ....( excuse Gio') which tells us that the buoy 2 and 'much more' up, and then try to get to VMG and we do avvicciniamo the boats ahead of us, when we realize that he was right orziamo ten steps involved in a steady glide between 10 and 13 knots, with a peak at 15.91. we Clean Energy, Forrest Gump and GoGo.

Retrieved gennaker, we go back to windward and can cue, here I am doing all the last upwind leg trying not to slam the randaper not lose it, fearing that as soon as possible, and essensoci 20 knots of wind would have given a second start, of course, the helmsman and 'was very happy, because the boat was overloaded and eventually stick it' s been the same.

Sunday that said ,....
good start, good race, we just stayed packed in Zaoli point between the swan and 45 who have parked at the time and 'air-dropped and there was a lot of current. We choose to stand out and the choice is charged, the buoy called number two to 45 to pass behind and in front of Zaoli a length of 3 or 4. ingaggaiamo loose in there with 45 and make a duel of barley, Zaoli passes both, 'and obviously' more 'fast, we get stuck to the other third buoy 45, jibe better and we can roll to windward, the buoy about us Caponero Seawonder seconds behind with 45 to 2 lengths but we waste in Zaoli. Store it out for rivirimo hundred meters from here starts the duel with 45, which on this occasion had Bortolotti at the helm, crossed in front until the last turn where ever we go out and their coast, take a spin and most spectacular ' pressure, we slow down and we are poor, we arrive at 2.40 on the third Zaoli and one minute from 45, the others are far behind, we finally plywood aggiudichiao the test.
moral: we started well, the boat walked strong, (we were amazed at how well we kept the 45, and also Zaoli on occasion), we handled well, and we went the right way, I know that there Ricapito more ' .
a good at all the crew, and Renato (helm), Pippo (tree) and Papoz (Jolly) who unfortunately were not there and have lost a great racer.
