Good first for the “kick-off” event of the Italian Sailing Champions League at RYCC Savoia in Naples: 45 tight races in three days aboard the Este 24s. Now even Italy has its own club ranking! The three days of great battles at sea decreed the final victory of the Palermo team of the Roggero di Lauria Rowing Club, captained by Gabriele Bruni, who with one race to spare lined up the Sailing Society of Barcola and Grignano and the Yacht Club Adriaco, separated by only one point in the standings. Within a ten-point handkerchief, eight other teams are enclosed. The ranking of the event is the starting point for the 2016 regatta circuit.
