Melges 20 European Championship, a slow start in the first day

Puntaldia (Italy), 22 September 2021 - We will have to wait one more day to follow the start of operations at the Melges 20 European Championship which, thanks to the joint organization of Melges Europe and the Marina di Puntaldia, has recalled the fleet to the wonderful location of the Northern Sardinia to crown the new continental champion.

The breeze today filled in late and not stay strong enough to allow the regattas to take place, forcing the Committee to abandon the first race halfway through.

The start of the series is therefore only postponed until tomorrow: with a maximum of three races to be completed in each day, a total of nine regattas can be held, at the end of which the new name of the Melges 20 European Champion will be written in the roll of honor The new winner will be the successor of Filippo Pacinotti's Brontolo Racing, who will give his best to try to put the seal on the title for the second time in a row.

However full of appointments the program with the after-races, events organized in collaboration with Baglioni Resort and with the participation of Cantina del Vermentino - Monti.

Day 1, dedicated to the partner Immobilsarda, saw all the teams receive personalized water bottles, gadgets that are always appreciated and in line with the promotion of the values of the One Ocean Foundation and the protection of the seas, which the Melges community has been the spokesperson for for years.
