THE TOP TEN (FOR NOW)
So far we have exceeded 10,000 votes, thanks to your participation. Frightening popular supremacy of Calabrian kiter Tony Cili, who leads the ranking with over 1,000 votes, followed by voter Giuseppe Fornich, owner of Grand Soleil 37 Sagola Biotrading. In third place was the very young Mattia Cesana, winner among the Cadets of the Garda Optimist Meeting, tailed by Gaetano Mura, who always draws great sympathy among sailors. In fifth place is a boat, Lisca Bianca, with which Sergio and Licia Albeggiani sailed around the world in the 1980s and which is now revived after painstaking restoration. He is followed by Francesco Guglielmo Balzano, also from Crotone like Cili, a young optimist, ahead of Andrea and Chicca Pestarini, the tireless navigators. In eighth place was designer Paolo Bua, then budding windsurfer Giuseppe Paolillo and Matteo Iachino, one of Italy’s strongest sailboard specialists.
AT RISK OF ELIMINATION
Let’s see what’s going on in the rear: for now the last “virtual selected,” in 50th place, is little prince Pierre Casiraghi, tailed by Claudio Bazzoli (owner of Protgonist 7.50 Spirito Libero) and preceded by Andrea Mura. It will be around here that the rankings may undergo the real ups and downs between now and the 15th.
