"It's been a difficult few days, which led us to push hard in the starts, always pushing a little more given our position in the ranking. In the end we were unlucky, we paid for some tactical choices and were affected by the unstable weather conditions. We’re looking forward to moving to Porto Cervo to start sailing on the sea, where the characteristics of the water and the length of the waves will make some manoeuvres unsuitable. We will have to adapt to marine conditions."  declared skipper Ettore Botticini.

“We are satisfied with Young Azzurra’s performance, there is always something to be learned in order to improve. We look forward to seeing the YCCS team and the whole Persico 69F fleet in Porto Cervo in November. The Grand Prix 4 will be the first foiling event held in our waters.” commented YCCS Commodore, Michael Illbruck.
