During the International Offshore Week, a classic Spring event that starts off the summer sailing season, the first of the Italian J/70 Circuit regattas took place. The interest has been high for J/70s in Italy and the fleet is having a lot of fun for many of them who were competing for the first time. In the first regatta off Allasio, it was a closely fought race with Carlo Alberini the winner and Beppe Zavanone taking second overall. The second regatta of J/70 Italian Circuit will be organized at YC San Remo from April 24-27. The regatta expects teams from Germany, Switzerland, Slovenia and Monaco. On April 24, J/Boats Italy is hosting a “J/70 day” for all sailors interested in discovering more about the boat.
