Porto Cervo, 7 May 2019. The famous Frers 72’ owned by YCCS Commodore Riccardo Bonadeo was among the boats taking part in the sail/regatta organised for the Vela Festival.
The boat’s traditional helmsman Marco Pelaschier was on board, also acting as an Ambassador for the One Ocean Foundation, while Commodore Bonadeo and his wife Sciaké were, as always, part of the crew.
More than 120 boats took part, from dinghies to mini maxis, and more than 1,000 sailors were involved. The Gulf of Tigullio was filled with sails and colour to mark its rebirth after the terrible storms of October of last year. Everyone completed the quadrilateral course of 9 miles which left the port of Santa Margherita before heading to marks off Portofino and Zoagli. With 10 knots at the start which later decreased, Rrose Selavy, in full cruising layout, claimed victory in her division.
