Yacht Club Costa Smeralda: a perfect day at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup

• Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup

The fleet taking part in the 34th Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup in Porto Cervo were blessed with perfect weather conditions today, as a westerly breeze blowing at 10 to 16 knots joined clear skies and sunshine for the start of racing. Yesterday’s decision by the Race Committee to bring forward the start of today's racing to 10 a.m. CEST allowed the yachts to make the most of the weather window, before winds are set to pick up once again, according to the forecast models.

The YCCS set up two race courses today, one for the coastal race of around 27 miles, which took the fleet clockwise around the islands of La Maddalena and Caprera and then back to Porto Cervo, and the other for the windward-leeward races set for the 10 yachts competing in the inaugural Rolex IMA Maxi 1 World Championship and the 4 yachts racing in the Maxi 2 class - former Maxi72 class boats now racing under the IRC rule.

The two races completed by the Maxi 1 boats vying to take home the first world title saw YCCS member Karel Komarek's Wallycento V and Alessandro Del Bono's new 82-footer Capricorno take the respective wins. “The boat proved to be very fast from the outset,” explained Capricorno's coach Tiziano Nava, ”we’re very happy, there’s definitely a lot of room for improvement. We won the second race through a good start and flawless tactics, but in the first race we paid dearly for an error in hoisting the gennaker.”

At the end of the day, however, it was Wendy Schmidt's Deep Blue that claimed the top spot on the leaderboard thanks to two solid performances, both of which concluded with a third place. Django HF owned by YCCS member Giovanni Lombardi Stronati, with Vasco Vascotto on tactics, and Joost Schuijff's Leopard 3, with tactician Ed Baird, follow in the standings, with just one point separating each yacht in the top three. The Maxi 1 class has now completed the two windward-leeward races set out in their regatta schedule. The Maxi 2s completed three races on the same windward-leeward course and with a first, a third and a second place, Jolt (formerly Cannonball), owned by YCCS member Peter Harrison with New Zealand's Hamish Pepper calling tactics, leads the provisional classification. On equal points and just one behind the leader, are Northstar of London, owned by YCCS member Peter Dubens', and Proteus, owned by George and Christina Sakellaris.

 Andrea Visintini, navigator on Deep Blue: “Today was a peculiar day, we had set the boat up for the rising Mistral that was forecast, instead we sailed in very shifty medium to light wind, never more than 17 knots. The key was to sail in clean air as much as possible, we are the slowest boat on paper, so it’s crucial to get free from the cover of the bigger boats. In the second race we had a very good start and we were leading for half of the race, then we had a problem lowering the gennaker, but we managed to contain the damage.”

 First off the line in the coastal race were the multihulls, with the Gunboat 80 Highland Fling XVIII owned YCCS member Lord Irvine Laidlaw showing immediate speed at the start and first across the finish line, victory in corrected time, however, went to Riccardo Pavoncelli's Gunboat 66 Gaetana. Second place went to Allegra, owned by YCCS member Adrian Keller.

The Supermaxi class saw YCCS member Juan Ball's Moat, with Guillermo Parada on tactics, clinch both line honours and victory on handicap. “We had a good start on the left side, the favoured side,” commented Parada. “We took the lead and controlled Y3K, who came dangerously close in the light airs at the Passo del Bisce, then we stretched ahead and I must congratulate the crew for the countless sail changes perfectly executed on the downwind leg back to Porto Cervo. It’s difficult for us to control the J Class because the rating means we have to give them 1 minute per mile, but after a few miles we lost sight of them. We managed to beat them by a margin of just over a minute in corrected time.”

 Moat was followed by the two J Class yachts, Svea and Velsheda, second and third respectively in corrected time, who took centre stage in a splendid close-quarters duel along the entire length of the coastal course. 

Aldo Parisotto's Oscar 3 led the nine yachts in the Maxi 3 Class, followed by Rose and YCCS member Massimiliano Florio's Grande Orazio. The 10 yachts in the Maxi 4 group saw Vincenzo Addessi's Fra Diavolo get the better of Wallyño, owned by IMA President Benoît de Froidmont, and H2O, owned by YCCS member Riccardo de Michele. 

For tomorrow, Thursday 12th September, the Race Committee intends to set a coastal course for all classes, with the first start at 11 a.m. CEST. However, weather models indicate a return of the Mistral, with gusts that could reach and exceed 30 knots.

34th Edition of Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup gets underway in Porto Cervo

Porto Rafael is not only an expression of a queen nature of the territory but also a stage of a journey where places of rare beauty show themselves and make themselves known.

History has preserved this heritage for us and we hope so forever.

The Piazzetta Rafael de Neville

It is the history of the culture of Porto Rafael, where the sweet life of the 60s has traced the custom of meeting each year to tell each other moments, projects, emotions of one’s life.

In a romantic and at the same time joyful atmosphere, both musical and cultural events were the protagonists of an engaging and highly participatory way of being together. Events that have been an expression of joy and participation and at the same time have been the setting for parties that have become legends.

The personality of Count Rafael has signed the story, a story that tells a long and unforgettable fairy tale of love.

The fortress of Monte Altura

It was built in 1887/89 to defend the coast and the archipelago of La Maddalena; it is considered the most beautiful fortress in Europe.

A highly strategic point at that time for the defense of the Tyrrhenian Sea from French naval military actions.

Punta Sardegna lighthouse

A cage that science calls “Faraday cage” envelops the entire building; its architectural values enhance the beauty that stands out on the rocks and its extraordinary panoramic position increases its charm.

Since 1913, the year in which it was built by the Civil Engineer, several specialists called “fanalists”, who manage the lighthouse, have followed one another with their families. From this we can understand the presence of cast iron downpipes for the collection and disposal of rainwater.

In 1975 the Italian Navy automated the reporting systems. Today the lighthouse is home to the Coastal Observatory.

The little port of Punta Stroppello

In a unique position opens the little Port of Punta Stroppello which houses boats of great prestige from all over the world.

A corner of paradise that houses the Yacht Club of Punta Sardegna and from where you can attend international level regattas such as the Mario Formenton Trophy, a historic event for those who love sailing.

It is organized in August every two years in memory of Mario Formenton who was President of Mondadori.

The route is one of the most suggestive and has the islands of the archipelago as its backdrop. It starts from Porto Rafael sailing between Budelli and Spargi and then returns to Porto Rafael. A path of about 20 miles.

The lookout

A construction that dates back to the 19th century. A military post that was to serve strategically for sightings. Today it sees the presence of many who love to admire a panorama to say the least spectacular that embraces La Maddalena, Cala di Trana, always capable of a suggestive emotion, Corsica, the Bocche di Bonifacio among the typical colors of the sea and rocks.

The very small church of Santa Rita deserves special consideration. Count Rafael promised to build it if he could make his dream come true. The name could only be that of Santa Rita, patroness of the impossible. And so it was! … a chapel of rare beauty, an intimate place of prayers.

The floor that looks like a checkerboard, the altar covered with rosaries, the colors that accompany the atmosphere enhance the emotions that are experienced in this place.

The church of Porto Rafael is also a destination on a path that brings great emotion and reflection to the faithful who participate in it.

The procession with torchlight procession from the small church of Santa Rita to the Parish Church of Palau is an anniversary that every year, in May, renews the intimacy of prayer.

Another moment of intense participation in the values of worship is the procession at sea, at the end of the summer, in honor of the Madonna del mare and San Mauro. A procession of naval units accompanies the celebration in the waters in front of the port of Palau and Porto Rafael.

Tennis and sailing… moments in which sport is combined with experiencing the beauty of this area. A green tennis court that excites, near the sea, among granite rocks that cut out representations as if they were sculptures; Illuminated in the evening for an unimaginable setting.

A few steps away is the sailing center of Porto Pollo, a destination for sailors and windsurfers. A naturalistic paradise caressed by the wind that tells its beauty. Wind surf, surf, sup, kite-surf and sailing manage the emotions that the sea transmits to us.

The excursions

These are opportunities to learn about history! In Arzachena, near Porto Rafael, there is the Tomba dei Giganti by Coddu Vecchiu.

The Tombs of the Giants are tombs formed by a funeral chamber intended for collective burials dating back to the Nuragic age. A testimony of the life of that moment.

The Tomb of Coddu Vecchiu is an important funerary monument of the village of the time. Built in three phases, one of which dates back to 1600/1400 BC. C. is surrounded by a nature that makes you breathe infinite magic.

Another thrilling excursion is a visit to the geomarine park in La Maddalena. A magic that has no end for the beauty that is all around those who observe it. Budelli, Razzoli, Santa Maria, Santo Stefano, Caprera, Sprinkle pearls of an archipelago that remains in your heart: everything draws an unforgettable scenario.

Among all the islands we remember Caprera, rich in a history that must be lived and not told. Garibaldi’s house is history that must be lived, the village of Stagnali is nature that must be admired.

At the mineralogical museum of Stagnali fossils, gems and rocks are splendid protagonists who recite a memory that is lost in time.

All this has its own stage which is the Archipelago of La Maddalena. A story that must be told: 230 years of social life; its islands which are a collection of splendid treasures covered and guarded by a sea that almost expresses a protective embrace.

The archipelago should be remembered not only for its beauty but also for its history told by pages featuring Napoleon, Nelson, Garibaldi as witnesses to the strategic military value of this area.

In 1777 it was an important support for the ships of the Sardinian Royal Palace. Over the years there has been an increasingly significant military positioning. Just look at the many fortifications present and built in particular between the first and second world wars, such as on the island of Spargi, on the island of Caprera and on the island of La Maddalena.

Porto Rafael overlooks this wonderful panorama, located just a stone’s throw away.

A testimony of great historical importance is, then, the ship sunk in the waters of Spargi between 120 and 110 BC.

The National Park, then, is a place of great interest for the presence of over 700 plant species and is an unforgettable memory.

It is an area of immense historical value where a Tomb, Nuraghi, a Village and Tafoni are the absolute protagonists of this scenario.

The Tomb, of which only the foundations remain, dates back to the 14th century BC.

The Village dates back to the Nuragic age with its huts built in masonry and with covers of plants and shrubs.

The Tafoni, then, are large natural holes in the rocks used at the time as refuges or tombs.

Why tell this?

Because Porto Rafael is not only “Dreaming is Living”, it is not only a “Paradise of Nature”, it is not only the “Charm that Excites” but it is also the opportunity to deepen a culture that is millennial history, the opportunity to live a scenario that makes you seem that everything belongs only to you …

But it is not so because everything belongs to the whole of humanity!
