He is the new “leader” of Italian sailing. Francesco Ettorre, an Abruzzese from Giulianova (Teramo), class of 1970, is as of today the president of the Italian Sailing Federation. A background on dinghies (Optimist and 420, then Laser) and as a federal instructor. He is in the FIV, first as advisor in Gaibisso’s last term and Croce’s first, then as vice president in the second and last term of the Genoese “presidentissimo.”
An accountant, he is a man who knows the federal machine and its accounts perfectly: he has had a hand in the turnaround the federation has gone through in recent years. Will it succeed where others have failed, such as in getting us an Olympic medal, or bring young people even closer together by involving kiteboarders in federal programs? We interviewed him hot off the press, here’s what he told us (in the next issue of the Sailing Newspaper, you’ll find a lengthy feature on Francesco Ettorre)
