Summer Storm sails to victory in the 71st Regata dei Tre Golfi, clinching line honors in the prestigious ORC World Championship 2026. This race highlights the excitement of the Tre Golfi Sailing Week and showcases elite international competition.
Starting from Naples, the race sees the fleet navigating changing wind conditions, with breezes fluctuating between 8 and 20 knots. A critical moment occurs at 10:00 AM when a shift from north-easterly to south-westerly winds creates a calm zone, influencing tactics significantly. Choosing to pass Ischia and Procida to port proves advantageous for the leading boats.
Summer Storm, owned by Andrew Berdon, not only claims line honors but also secures victory on corrected time. Tactician Joachim Aschenbrenner expresses satisfaction with the team’s performance, highlighting the boat’s optimization and strategic decisions made during the race.
In Class 0, Summer Storm outpaces rival TP52 Vudu, helmed by Mauro Gestri, and the Wallyrocket51 Django WR. The race demonstrates the competitive spirit and technical prowess of the crews, setting the stage for future challenges in the ORC circuit.
