“Dad don’t sell the boat, leave it with me.” And he won the European Championships. Interview with Sergio Caramel

“Dad, don’t sell your Melges. I use it with my friends.” So begins, more or less, the beautiful story of Sergio Caramel, sailor and aspiring aerospace engineer. He set up a passionate team and after a series of great results in monotype and minialtura came the European Sportboat title. In the beautiful interview with Mino Taveri and Bacci Del Buono Sergio, the sixth of the TAG Heuer Sailor of the Year finalists we present, tells us how he did it.
