Rimini, 1st April:

A three days regatta characterized by light northerly winds, nine runs and fifteen boats on the starting line: these are the main numbers of the first leg of the Mumm30 Italian championship, meeting where professional and amateur sailors have been involved in.

Spidertech Integrated System is on more boats every year. Nine out of fifteen Mumm30 on Rimini’s water have been served by Montefusco sailmaker using Spidertech technology: Calvi-Hiroshi(3rd), Magic Albini & Fontanot (4th), Matrix(5th), Spirit of Simone(7th), Parimor Thule (6th), Parimor Thule (7th) Diletta(9th), Mummona(10th), Spidermumm(11th), Mordilla(14th). “Almost a monopoly”,- is the opinion of a smiling Sandro Montefusco, mainsail trimmer on Parimor Thule,” these days we have been slowed down by propeller troubles, but the boat was really fast”.
Calvi Hiroshi crew, thought to be the best side to bet on for this leg, was satisfied by the boat speed in all weather conditions tested, although they finished third. “ We had to run with the spare boat”,- Shipowner Giulietti told us,” because our main boat has been involved in a transportation delay. Although the boat was not perfectly trimmed, we have been satisfied by her speed, speed that has saved us from unstable wind.”
Magic Albini & Fontanot e Matrix have been racing with Spidertech sails as well, counting on the experience of Gabriele Benussi and Pietro D’Alì on board: a good series of partial results for them.
Speaking from Parimor’s cockpit, Sandro Montefusco gives us his sailmaker opinion: “Spidertech works really well: the feedback from the shipowners is outstanding and none of the boats competing powered by our sails has been proved slow”.
This first leg has been an important test for Spidertech and all boats have reached the intended performances. Next leg on Marina di Ravenna water, on the 20-22 April.
