In the Comet class, the defending champion Libertine (Comet 45 R), owned by Maurizio Biscardi, with Francesco De Angelis helmsman, managed to prevail over the other Comets with excellent results (amongst the first three overall, six races out of seven), thanks to an immaculate sailing and a good sail plan designed with Spidertech™ technology. “We very much like this championship” commented Biscardi “because no one knew who the winner was going to be, due to the unstable weather conditions. Every boat was competitive and well prepared and every team was here to win. I am very pleased to win the Rolex Capri Sailing Week for the second time in a row” concluded Biscardi.

On the podium, with a fantastic performance, second position for Fra Diavolo (Comet 41 R) owned by Vincenzo Addessi, sailing with Spidertech™ technology (Banks Sails Sailmakers); third position for Agorà (Comet 45 S) owned by Marco Franco.
Ten boats in the Comet Class out of twelve sailed with Spidertech™ technology, confirming there is an increasing number of sailmakers in Italy and in Europe who recognize Spidertech™ as their valid partner.
