Boats are starting to gather at Circolo Vela Torbole on the north end of Lake Garda for the Alpine Cup, an event that combines the Dart 18 catamaran German, Swiss and Austrian National Championships into one major regatta. The beautiful venue and prospect of late summer sailing has also attracted a couple of Dutch, one French and Steve and Jeff Morgan (TwoAnchorsRacing.com) of Netley SC the sole British boat to the popular Italian resort.
Forty four pre-registered entrants are expecting the normal Garda wind machine to do it's work blowing strong from the south. Forecasters though predict light winds from the north. Racing commences Thursday 19th and concludes Saturday.
