Let’s look at the top 5 at the moment:
In the top two positions are Simone Camba (photo left) and Marta Magnano (photo right), the two Sardinian sailors are competing for votes, backed by all the people of Sardinia and beyond. Both front-runners have a large following both in the media and stemming from the social world.
Simone, the policeman sail or who uses sailing as a means of social redemption, is leading the way with over 2,500 votes at the time of writing, while Marta follows soon after with over 2,200 votes.
Excitingly, Simone’s story of his work promoting sailing in Cagliari and throughout Sardinia is concerned with the social inclusion of both Sardinian adolescents with criminal issues and migrants, using sailing as a means of social redemption.
Marta, on the other hand, in January 2019, at the age of 28, decided to take the plunge and move to live abo ard Churingas, a 10-meter sailboat, turning it into her “sweet boat” with which to travel the world. Together with her two inseparable ducks who live aboard with her, Marta has managed to become for a growing audience a true example of courage and life choices.
-IIIth place for Elisabetta Maffei “the Adriatic”
The Pesaro-based sailor is credited with bringing so many people closer to sailing with her highly followed “basic” online video lessons. Started from the bottom, often criticized by a certain “snobbish” sailing community, she never got down she made the solo crossing from Barcelona to Pesaro on a Mini 650.
-IVth place for Giancarlo Pedote “The Hero of the Vendee”
-Vth place for super helmsman Francesco Bruni “The English”Luna Rossa’s helmsman is one of Italy’s most accomplished, eclectic and titled active sailors.In his 30-year sports career, he has 7 World, 5 European and 15 National titles to his credit in various classes, from Laser to offshore, from Star to 49er and was first in the ISAF Match Race world rankings in 2011.He has participated in three Olympics and is vice world champion in the Moth class. This is his fifth America’s Cup, the fourth with Luna Rossa….
They are followed by: sixth-place Domenico Lamante, seventh-place Pietro Sibello, eighth-place Adrian Quan Cardi, and ninth- and tenth-place siblings Nicolò and Maddalena Spanu.
Who is most at risk?
A heated tussle revolves around the 30th position: we find some of the big names who understandably do not have the same social and media following reserved for the young people at the top.
Vote people, vote!
One week to go, the outcome can still turn around! Vote, vote, vote. As a reminder, you can cast as many as 3 votes per voting phase for your favorites.
