Mumm 30 World Championships at Cagliari, Sardinia Overall

by Event Press 6 Oct 2001 23:07 BST

Maurizio Abba new World Champion

A fog bank lurking near the mountains that surround the Bay of Angels descended across the race course at mid day. The boats had left the dock at noon due to a lack of wind in the morning, under a clear sky and into the promise of moderate wind. In a most unusual weather phenomenon for the area, the thick fog hung over the area until just before 3:00 p.m., with visibility less than 100 yards at times. Locals could not remember the last time this had happened. The Dutch team on Magnumm entertained themselves and spectators by flying their bowman off the spinnaker halyard and dunking him in the water.

The cloud lifted and gave way to a shifty 8-12 knots from 120 degrees. An I-flag was hoisted with the class flag, but it was not enough to deter several boats at the pin end from jumping the gun. Most returned, but two were scored OCS. Second placed Banca Finnat Euramerica had a clean start and got the shifts right on the first beat to round the top mark in first place. They were able to stay in the streaky wind on the run and protect their position through to the finish line, which secured their second place overall for the regatta. Alina sailed conservatively and their ninth place finish kept the cushion they needed to win the fifth World Championship of the Class.

The Mumm 30 Class extends its gratitude to the sponsors of the World Championship in Cagliari - Champagne Mumm, Audi, Iltenet Wind, and BNL - Banca Nazionale del Lavorno.

The 2002 World Championship has been scheduled to take place in Annapolis, Maryland, USA, hosted by the Annapolis Yacht Club on September 25-28.
