Porto Cervo, 16 July 2021. With just one day left until the conclusion of the Grand Prix 2.2 of the 69F Cup circuit, Young Azzurra heads the provisional classification followed by Groupe My Ambition and the Swiss team on Sailing Performance. The event, organised by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda and the 69F Team, closes tomorrow, Saturday 17 July.

Six races were completed over the course of approximately five hours on the water, bringing the total races run to eight.
