The sixth and seventh rounds of the Marina di Loano Winter Championship. were held on Saturday, Feb. 9 and Sunday, Feb. 10, as a make-up of the previous week’s official dates. The organizers, in fact, had had to cancel the program scheduled for the weekend of Feb. 2 and 3 due to prohibitive weather conditions spread throughout the northwest. The 25-boat fleet therefore took to the water a first time on Saturday, Feb. 9, to contest the sixth round of the championship, which featured light winds of up to 7 knots of intensity with southeasterly direction and calm sea. Opposite weather conditions, however, on Sunday, Feb. 10, when competitors had to contend with winds between 20 and 25 knots, with gusts up to 30 knots, from Libeccio and formed wave. The Regatta Committee chose to have a 14-mile coastal race on the Loano – Gallinara Island – Loano course, which fully engaged the entire fleet. The FARR 40 ROBY & 14 by Massimo Schieroni (Y. C.Savona) dominated the ORC 1 ranking of the two days with two first places, confirming him at the top of the class standings followed in second place by _En Plen Air_ the Comet 45 S of Paolo Tesio (LNI Noli) and Rinaldo Goria’s Go Go (LNI S.T. Gallura) in third. The Farr 40
Roby & 14 also leads in the overall ORC ranking. In ORC 2 class, a double success allowed CORTO MALTESE, the First 34.7 of Michele Colasante (C.N. Ilva) to continue to lead the overall class standings with 13 points, while Emma 2_the Grand Soleil 43 of Emanuela Verrina (C.N.
