Sardinia Rolex Cup

Bright sunshine, warm temperatures and a light north-westerly breeze greeted the seven teams competing in the first day of the 2006 Sardinia Rolex Cup and ISAF Offshore Team World Championship, organized by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda. The Race Committee was able to complete three windward-leeward races with a breeze ranging from 8 to 13 knots and flat seas. Team Germany, which includes Michael Illbruck’s TP52 Pinta, Wolfgang Stolz’s Swan 45 Opus One and Wolfgang Schaefer’s Farr 40 Struntje Light, currently leads on 24 points.
