What happened at the VELA Cup in Santa Margherita Ligure? It is revealed to us in this fine video by our friends at The Boat Show who followed the sail, which also included a ranking dedicated to ICE Yachts (for the awarding of the ICE Cup), from a “vantage point.” That is, from aboard Ludovico Bussolati’s ICE 60 Joy. The boats made by the Salvirola (Cremona) shipyard are performance racer-cruisers crafted to perfection. So it should come as no surprise that the first overall and first in real time in the VELA Cup (125 boats) and winner of the ICE Cup was Mauro Todisco’s 52′ Sottosopra…e basta.
