Volvo D-One Gold Cup at Circolo Nautico al Mare e Marina di Alassio - Day 1

by Michele Tognozzi 18 Oct 2012 18:37 BST 18-21 October 2012

The third event of the Volvo D-One Gold Cup kicked off today at Circolo Nautico al Mare e Marina di Alassio. An international fleet of 38 sailors from 9 countries took to the water at 1pm to sail two races in a 9-12 knots northerly breeze with confused sea.

The young Czech helmsman Viktor Teply took an early lead with one third and one second. Second was the other Czech sailor Martin Trcka (1-9) and third was Argentine Agustin Zabalua (4-8), the winner of the first D-One Gold Cup held at Valencia in 2010.

In fourth was the first Italian Andrea Casale (8-5) with his mate Michele Mennuti in fifth (10-5). British sailor Nich Craig (5-10) finished the day in sixth. Happy winner of race 2 was Riccardo Pontremoli (Yacht Club Italiano, Genoa).

The Volvo D-One Gold Cup resumes tomorrow and Saturday with four more races. On Sunday the double point, non-discardable final race will be sailed.
