Act 6 of the Extreme Sailing Series has begun in St. Petersburg: the first day saw, among the absolute stars, the Italians of Lino Sonego. The team, in provisional third place behind Red Bull Sailing Team and The Wave, benefited from some crew changes, such as new skipper Enrico Zennaro and helmsman Arnaud Psarofaghis, who previously competed in 2014 in the Extreme Sailing Series with Realteam. With one win and two second places, the Italian team files its best score of the day so far.
