Strong start for Stig

Audi Melges 20 World Championship sets sail on Lake Garda

Wednesday August 27th 2014, Author: James Boyd, Location: Italy

After the opening day of the Audi Melges 20 World Championship at Riva del Garda organised by B.Plan Sport&Events, Fraglia Vela Riva and Melges Europe, it is the Stig team (Rombelli-Cassinari-Tortarolo) that leads after posting a 11-1-2 scoreline. Alessandro Rombelli's boat, the Gold Cup winner in Miami in 2011, managed to smoothly deal with the ups and downs of Lake Garda's Ora wind that slightly decreased in the afternoon.

Stig is followed, 7-points behind, by Samba Pa Ti (Kilroy-Goodison, 13-4-4), who in turn is four points ahead of his 11-year-old son Liam on board Wildman (Kilroy-Hunt, 3-2-20) that sailed two surprising good races.

The top five is completed by another American boat, Shimmer (Lucas-Melges-Michetti, 5-6-16), and the Italian Mascalzone Latino Jr (Onorato-Page-Ciampalini, 18-9-3).

In sixth is Fremito d’Arja (Levi-Bianchi-Lagi-Masotto, 6-17-8), leader of the Audi tron Sailing Series, which is now on its final leg with this Audi Melges 20 World Championship.

Great performances were also put in today by Russotrans (Kuzmin-Larionov-Morozov, 1-35-44) and Audi g-tron F.lli Giacomel (Martinez-Fonda-Simoneschi, 24-27-1), winner of the first and third races.

Racing resumes tomorrow at 09:00, allowing the Race Comittee to take advantage of the foreseen Peler.
