Fifty-two international teams (12 nations) were again on the start line of the third and penultimate Act of the Monaco Sportsboat Winter Series (3-6 February) which also marked the start of The Tenzor International Cup J/70 circuit. All have their sights set on the upcoming J/70 World Championship being organized by Yacht Club de Monaco in partnership with FxPro from 14-22 October 2022. The Brit Paul Goodison, gold medallist at the Beijing Olympics in ILCA 7, with seven world titles in five different classes and participation in the America’s Cup on Artemis Racing in 2017, was sailing with the Swedes on Intermezzo which came fourth. Also competing was Finnish match racing supremo Staffan Lindberg, and the brilliant Finn sailor Ed Wright. Winner this weekend was a YCM member, Giangiacomo Serena di Lapigio (G-Spot), with the Brits on Brutus II putting in a fine performance to come third in the overall ranking (first in the Corinthian category) just behind the Russian Tenzor Sport, helmed by Milena Nikitina in second. This team also leads the field for the moment in The Tenzor International Cup circuit which will end back in Monaco when the next Monaco Sportsboat Winter Series kicks off weekend 3-6 November 2022. The J/70 fleet returns to the Principality for the 38th Primo Cup-Trophee Credit Suisse (3-6 March 2022), which also constitutes the fourth and final Act of the Monaco Sportsboat Winter Series. Launched in 1985, the Primo Cup which awards SLAM garments, is reckoned to be the largest European winter one design regatta in the Mediterranean. For complete details, visit yacht-club-monaco.mc.
