Melges World League, Mascalzone wins the Sardinia Rally: heading towards the World Championship

Villasimius (CA), 30 August 2021 - The Sardinia Rally, an event that during the weekend and to date has engaged the Melges 20 and Melges 32 fleets in a series of races valid as fourth part of the annual Melges World League circuit, ends with another beautiful windy day.

After the Melges 20 title was awarded yesterday to Dario Levi's Fremito d'Arja, today the success in the Melges 32 fleet went to Mascalzone, where the tactical choices were entrusted to Manuel Weiller, who proved to be able to read well the variegated conditions of these days, which have ranged from the strong wind, over twenty knots, to the very light breeze.

Second place for Christian Schwoerer's La Pericolosa and third for Wilma by Fritz Homann.

In the Corinthian division, reserved for non-professional sailors, success went to Homanit, followed on the podium by Team Heat and Startelekom.

Tomorrow, with no regattas scheduled, will be the eve of the Melges 32 World Championship, which is expected to start on Wednesday 1 September. At the start, we will find all the boats that took part to the Sardinia Rally, making the event organized by the LNI - Villasimius, Marina di Villasimius and Melges Europe during this weekend a real warm up in view of the World Championship.
