L’Acura Key West race week è il primo avvenimento importante che apre la stagione agonistica nell’emisfero Nord. Giunto quest’anno alla sua ventesima edizione vede numerosi equipaggi italiani in competizione nelle varie classi.
Per la classe Mumm30 c’è Calvi-Hiroshi dell’imprenditore Giulietti, (vele Montefusco realizzate con tecnologia Spidertech) che nel 2006 si è classificato al secondo posto nel Circuito Italiano Mumm30.

“The Italians are very tough. They have great speed on all points of sail and their crew work has been exceptional,” said Marty Kullman, co-owner of
fourth-place New Wave. Another Italian team that has impressed early is Calvi Hiroshi, which leads the 10-entry Mumm 30 class. Skipper Armando Giulietti won both races on Monday then followed with a second on Tuesday and is three points up on Bruce Eddington’s Southern Sun. “We are very fast in these 10-15 knot conditions because that is what we tend to see during the Italian season,” Guilietti said. A lack of proper training time and mechanical problems doomed Calvi Hiroshi at the Mumm 30 World Championships, but he said that the syndicate has gotten things together for this regatta. “We have improved the boat and crew quite a bit,” said Guilietti, who is pointing toward the 2007 Worlds that are being held off Porto Cuervo, Italy.
