Maxis – North Star wins second offshore race at Euros

With the 26 strong maxi fleet sub-divided into three classes, the remainder of the Regata dei Tre Golfi maxi fleet arrived throughout the course of yesterday afternoon. Giuseppe Puttini’s Swan 65 ketch Shirlaf was last home at 17:45CEST. Due to the slower boats experiencing shutdowns around the race’s southerly turning mark of Li Galli and gusty rain squalls as they approached the finish line off Massa Lubrense, to the west of Sorrento, the offshore race of this second International Maxi Association Maxi European Championship, has proved to be a big boat affair. For a second consecutive year Peter Dubens’ former Maxi 72 North Star has won the race’s maxi division, by just over seven minutes under IRC corrected time from the race’s line honours winner and new record holder, Sir Peter Ogden’s Maxi 77 Jethou.

Supported by Rolex as Official Timepiece and Loro Piana, the 150 mile race from Naples to Sorrento, via Ponza in the north and the Li Galli islands in the south, was organised by the Circolo del Remo e della Vela Italia (CRVI) in conjunction with the International Maxi Association, the body officially tasked by World Sailing to administer and develop maxi yacht racing internationally.

While the superbly sailed former Maxi 72s occupied four of the top five spaces on the overall IRC maxi leaderboard for the Regata dei Tre Golfi, holding third was Riccardo de Michele’s serial Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup class winning Vallicelli 78 H20, topping the combined Maxi 4-5 class.

“It was good that we had wind for most of the race,” de Michele explained. “The trickiest part was from Ponza to Punta Campanella. Then at Li Galli we broke a gennaker – our fault, as we didn’t realise it had a small tear in it when we hoisted it. As soon as it went up it blew up…” Otherwise de Michele said they had chosen the best part of the course on Friday night passing Ischia as they left the Bay of Naples then the following morning standing off at Punta Campanella (the tip of the Sorrentine peninsula). They had enjoyed having wind most of the way, although from dawn it was accompanied with rain cells. “H20 is a heavy boat and when it gets stuck it takes a lot to get her moving again.”

Having finished fourth last year, in sixth place under IRC was IMA President Benoît de Froidmont aboard his silver Wally 60 Wallyño with a crack French including tactician Cédric Pouligny. “It was very tactical as usual here. The wind was unexpected, but was good because it was windy all the time except the usual place – Li Galli.” De Froidmont said that had they had better conditions off the Amalfi coast then they might have challenged the former Maxi 72s for the podium. “The boat was okay. All our manouevres were perfectly executed by the crew. From a tactical point of view we didn’t make any mistakes.” And this was despite being hammered by a couple of rain squalls accompanied by 30 knots puffs approaching the finish.

The conditions didn’t favour the middle of the maxi fleet with Maxi 3 won by Guido Paolo Gamucci’s canting keel Mylius 60 Cippa Lippa X, correcting out to 15th in the overall maxi ranking.

“The race was interesting because we had more wind and more rain and a left shift bigger [after Ponza] than we were expecting,” said Gamucci. “Unfortunately we weren’t fast recognising that and when the left shift came we ended up reaching and lost some of our advantage.” However their biggest issue came after passing Punta Campanella and around Li Galli where they parked for 1.5 hours. However this was not as bad as befell the 90ft Shockwave 3 ahead of them which stopped for 2.5 hours (behind in the race after stopping to respond to fellow Trieste maxi Arca SGR’s Mayday the previous night).

Gamucci was sad to see his Regata dei Tre Golfi record from 2016 technically broken yesterday by Sir Peter Ogden’s Jethou, but observed: “The race track was different then: We sailed 14 miles more because it finished in Naples – 14 very important miles!”

Tomorrow (Monday) is the first of four days of inshore racing for the IMA Maxi European Championship. For this the maxi fleet will comprise 22 yachts ranging in size from numerous 60 footers such as Wallyño to the longest Shockwave 3.

Looking forward to this is Neapolitan, CRVI Honorary Member and former Luna Rossa Italian America’s Cup helmsman Francesco de Angelis, who will be racing on Dario Ferrari’s former Maxi 72 Cannonball.

“I like the place – I have spent a lot of time here and I used to sail dinghies here,” said de Angelis. “This week will be a mixed bag, with the weather very ‘front-related’ – different from the usual pattern. It will be tricky to sail. The forecast on Tuesday looks pretty windy while Thursday looks like a light day. But we will have to see how the weather shapes up.”

Of the competition he adds: “There are lots of good teams and good boats – it will be a fantastic race.”

IMA President Benoît de Froidmont concluded: “The organisation is very impressive for this event. The yacht club invests a lot of energy into its organization which it is good for the owners. Now we have a new village here in Sorrento. And the fleet is extremely competitive, which is a pleasant surprise given the present economic situation.”

While the Regata dei Tre Golfi was the second event in the 2022-23 IMA Mediterranean Maxi Offshore Challenge, tomorrow’s inshore races will be the second of the IMA’s equivalent Inshore Challenge, which began with PalmaVela last weekend.

Rolex Maxi Yacht Cup: A feast for the eyes

• November 3, 2022

Porto Cervo is one of the most spectacular venues in the world, and this year’s Rolex Maxi Yacht Cup was a feast for the eyes. Andi Robertson reports

Walk the hallowed docks of Sardinia’s Yacht Club Costa Smeralda during the Rolex Maxi Yacht Cup and it was impossible to get anywhere fast. The collection of maxi yachts this year was truly mesmerising, each meriting more than a passing glance. Correspondingly, the army of top professional sailors assembled was literally a who’s who of generations of America’s Cup , Ocean Race and Olympic sailing stars.

To leave the real world and immerse yourself in the Porto Cervo bubble is something special. Even the grizzled, white-haired pros who recall the formative years of the ‘Maxi Worlds’ and who come year in, year out, show no complacency. They love it and always will because it is the pinnacle event of maxi racing.

Post-pandemic, more than ever, there is a renewed appreciation for this spectacular event. Here there are no distractions beyond the wind blown rugged granite scenery, the turquoise waters and the rocky network of islands forming the La Maddalena archipelago.

The 32nd Rolex Maxi Yacht Cup was not the biggest ever, mustering 46 racing maxis in six classes, but it was almost certainly the most competitive event for many years, with quality in depth through each of the divisions.

The fleet was also more diverse than ever. For the first time since 2014 there were four J Class yachts competing under their own JCA handicap – an elegant step back in time contrasting sharply with the debuting foiler Flying Nikka , which raced in its own class, and the just launched powerful ClubSwan 80 My Song which lined up in the 13-boat maxi fleet.

A different league

“For sure after the pandemic there seems to be more people wanting to sail big boats than ever before and being able to afford to do so. And this regatta was in a different league to previous events in terms of quality,” noted the International Maxi Association’s secretary general Andrew McIrvine.

“One interesting development is now having absorbed the Wally class – which had a bunch of 80-footers and a bunch of 100-footers racing together – and getting them into performance, rather than size related classes, we have a good 13-boat maxi class. That is definitely better.

The foiling Flying Nikka raced in a class of its own

“And we have a more race orientated fleet, there used to be cruising maxis, and we have more professionals, whether or not you consider that a good thing. We are still very strict on the owner-driver rule, except in the Super Maxi fleet where in fact the two top owners are young and steer their boats anyway.”

In a typical September week at Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup there will be days of light winds and very often days lost to the Mistral. A fixed Thursday layday may seem like an anomaly but many owners – and their crews – start to feel their age mid week. This edition was no different, early starts made the best of the building Mistral on Friday, but Saturday proved unsailable.

Without question the standard of boat and sail handling gets higher every year. To see the J Class rivals tacking up ‘Bomb Alley’, as the rock-strewn passage north of Porto Cervo through the La Maddalena and Caprera archipelago is known, in 18 knots of breeze and flat water – seemingly within touching distance of the shore – is incredible.

Running downwind America’s Cup rival helms Peter Holmberg and Ed Baird showed a precision in their boat placement akin to sailing a Laser, all while choreographing nearly 30 crew. Are there elements of brinksmanship or bravado? Maybe, but the truth is many of the afterguard crew will have raced on these waters dozens of times, and laying one corner when others can’t will reap a dividend of several boatlengths.

The Super Maxi division victory was the biggest win yet for a ‘young’ (at just turned 50) Swedish owner on his Swan 115 Shamanna .

He also owns the well known Spirit 100 Gaia and Gerdney , a classic Swedish Skerries 95ft cruiser. He races Shamanna with eight of his long time friends – among them a cardiac anaesthetist, a pal who was ‘The Bachelor’ on the Swedish reality show of the same name – and a posse of good pros managed by British former Volvo/Whitbread, America’s Cup ace Guy Barron.

Raising the standards

Barron has sought to keep raising the standards of the ‘amateurs’ so they are fully integrated and respected by the pros, rather than allowing a ‘them and us’ scenario develop. Barron sailed with the owner and his friends originally in Sweden and was able to impart his knowledge and involve them in a way which has become important on the big Swan. “We sat down and said let’s make sure your guys get trained up and are part of it. So between Shamanna and Gaia we share the same pros, the same group and we’re all used to sailing with each other.”

Barron reckons – after some counting – that he has now raced from Sardinia 34 times, the first time being at the 12 Metre Worlds in 1987. “It is one of the best venues in the world and I never ever tire of racing around through Bomb Alley. It is breathtaking. I remember I was on Boomerang and we had THE crash.

“We hit a rock going 9.5 knots, having just got full speed on we stopped dead. We pulled the engine off the mount, cracked every frame in the boat, blew the terminals off the top of the batteries, flattened the wheel, the pedestals, seized the mainsheet and the runner winch. I ended up in an ambulance with George Coumantaros the owner. He’d fallen over and inverted his cheek. I slid forward, hit the solid stainless reaching stanchion and very luckily did not break my leg. I sail past there and still hear the noises in my head. It is a truly wonderful place to sail!”

Mini maxi rivalry

The six boat Mini Maxi 1 division is the domain of what were previously the Maxi 72 class. Now only Jim Swartz’s Vesper and George Sakellaris hull sister Proteus are close to Maxi 72 trim, all of the other four boats have had extensive modifications. Ironically the top two overall were Vesper , with Gavin Brady as tactician, and Proteus .

The changes across the rest of the fleet have been various: Peter Dubens’ North Star is the first boat to now use stored power for running rigging and sails with seven fewer crew – which at the Maxi Worlds gives a four-point rating credit. Spirit of Jethou (23.5m), Cannonball (22.86m) and Bella Mente (22.55m) have all been lengthened and have deeper keels. Bella Mente has a taller rig, as has Cannonball which can also now carry 1,000kg of water ballast per side.

Despite their differences, this was a very competitive class of boats which were conceived as the last word in maxi racing and richly laden with talent.

“We were fortunate to be consistent. We did not screw up,” smiled Gavin Brady after racing. “In fact the boat is arguably the same as when it won the World Championships five years ago (as Momo ). It is cool, I think, for Vesper to win the World Championship with the same keel, the same mast, the same sails.

“Our sport needs to see some sustainability and it is a good message that if you have something that works and you just go and sail well you don’t need to change the mast and the keel. That is something special for Jim as he does not want to go down the ‘arms race’ route. He wants to go and race, and may the best team win.

“This fleet of seven boats have evolved. It’s clear the owners want to develop their boats in the way they want and not be told what to do by a box rule. You have Jethou at one end and North Star at the other and we all went round the top mark within 30 seconds of each other. It’s not the Maxi 72 box rule of old but it is working and we have happy owners.”

Water ballast, and how it is treated under rating systems, is one factor many grand prix teams are watching carefully, in readiness to adapt their boats. “The water ballast is the elephant in the room right now,” Brady explains.

“Everyone is trying to be secretive but we all know what is going on. Everyone has drawings to put water in everything from a TP52 to a maxi but we just don’t know what the rule is going to do. I think it is a good way, a clean way to make boats go faster. Salt water is in abundance and if we want to pump water into the boat to make it faster and more fun it is a lot more sustainable than carbon fibre and sails that will go to landfill.”

Lord Irvine Laidlaw bade farewell to his faithful Reichel Pugh 82ft custom Wally Highland Fling XI with a swansong win in the 13-boat maxi class. Cameron Appleton calls tactics alongside navigator Andrew Cape: “Porto Cervo is a unique place usually offering a real range of conditions, inshore racing and navigational type courses, and you have to be good at every part of it,” Appleton recalled.

“You get to know the tricks of the place and where the wind bends are but it is how you get there to use them that is the skill.”

With co-owner Niklas Zennström driving his first regatta on Svea , flying the flag for his native Sweden, the J Class title was never really in doubt, though the racing was always close.

Svea seems to have a speed edge and has a great crew marshalled by Bouwe Bekking. The J Class are looking towards a World Championship in Barcelona during the 37th America’s Cup with potentially seven or eight boats. Next to return to the fold will be Rainbow , bought by Kiwi owner Neville Crichton, who is refitting the boat in Palma to be ready for the later part of next season.

News 2023 IMA Maxi Europeans grows in quality and quantity

2023 ima maxi europeans grows in quality and quantity.

Pre-registration for the International Maxi Association second Maxi European Championship ended on Wednesday March 15 - with the entry list already exceeding the 25 that participated in 2022. For a second year the IMA Maxi European Championship will be part of Tre Golfi Sailing Week, run by the Naples-based Circolo del Remo e della Vela Italia (CRVI) in conjunction with the IMA, the body officially tasked by World Sailing to administer and develop maxi yacht racing internationally. It is raced under IRC with all entries required to have IRC Endorsed certificates. Taking place over 12-18 May, the IMA Maxi Europeans will again start with the CRVI’s Regata dei Tre Golfi offshore race, leaving Naples at 1700 on 12 May and this year finishing off Sorrento. It will be followed by four days of inshore and coastal racing, based out of Sorrento, with courses on the Bay of Naples, including the popular course around Capri, if conditions allow. The scratch boat this year will again be Furio Benussi’s 100ft Arca SGR . In 2022 Arca SGR comfortably claimed line honours in the light wind Regata dei Tre Golfi, despite in the last miles suffering the failure of the hydraulic ram vital to cant her keel. Hopefully this is now resolved as an entirely new Cariboni hydraulic system is being fitted ready for this season. This year she will face the Reichel/Pugh 90 La Bete Portopiccolo Prosecco DOC . Originally launched as Alfa Romeo 1 , she won Rolex Sydney Hobart line honours in 2002, the year before Arca SGR did under her original name, Skandia . Then as George David’s first Rambler maxi she won much silverware and in 2007 set a Rolex Middle Sea Race record that would stand for 14 years. They will be joined on the Bay of Naples this year by another Adriatic-based maxi - Alberto Leghissa's 2000 vintage Frers 63 canting keeler Anywave-Safilens, which last competed at this regatta in 2018. Nipping at the heels of Arca SGR will be the Club Swan 80 My Song of Pier Luigi Loro Piana, which made her race debut at last September’s Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup. Over the winter My Song has undergone refinement including the fitting of a larger/more efficient canard and the removal of 400kg from her canting keel’s bulb. Once again she will be sailing with an all-star cast on board, including North Sails President Ken Read on tactics and strategist Alberto Bolzan.  

Competition will again be hottest between the former Maxi 72s which this year number five. Last year Sir Peter Ogden’s Jethou and Peter Dubens’ North Star enjoyed a great match race, with North Star winning the Regata dei Tre Golfi and finishing second overall, just 0.75 points behind Terry Hui's Lyra, the 2022 IMA Maxi European Champion.

“If it hadn’t been for that last wind hole in the last kilometre of the last race…” mused North Star tactician Nick Rogers, himself a two time European champion in the Olympic 470 dinghy. “I am really looking forward to it. With a championship like this, it is nice to get the title - it gives it more prestige. Plus Peter [Dubens] loves the Bay of Naples and the great course around Capri – it was really good last year.”

Of more concern are three additional heavyweights joining them this year, including Jim Swartz’s Vesper (Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup winner in 2022), Dario Ferrari’s Cannonball (MYRC winner in 2019 and 2021) and George Sakellaris’ Proteus , second at last year’s MYRC. “It is nice to have more competition,” continues Rogers. “I would put Vesper as one of the best IRC boats on the planet.”

In the group below, several yachts are returning including the two canting keelers - Guido Paolo Gamucci's Mylius 60 Cippa Lippa X and Fabio Cannavale's Baltic 78 Lupa of the Sea – plus the smart looking Persico-built Felci 65 .G of Gabriele Guerzoni. They are joined by Jean-Philippe Blanpain's Vismara/Mills 62 Leaps and Bounds 2 and the chartered Marten 72 Aragon , both heavily campaigned maxis. Also entered is the Wally 80 Tilakkhana, back on the race track for the first time in five years.

At the IMA Maxi Europeans in 2022, the tightest finish was in class 3 where Vincenzo Addessi’s Mylius 60 Fra' Diavolo , Riccardo de Michele’s Vallicelli 78 H2O and IMA President Benoît de Froidmont’s Wally 60 Wallyño finished the inshore with a three-way tiebreak, but with Wallyño winning the class overall thanks to her better Regata dei Tre Golfi result. H2O and Wallyño are both returning.

“I am pleased that the IMA has introduced this European Championship for maxi yachts,” said de Froidmont, whose Wallyño ended up fourth overall in 2022. “Even after one edition it feels like a prestigious title to win and I hope to at least get on the podium this year. The race course - the Bay of Naples and around Capri - are exceptional and our IMA members appreciate the work put in on this event by our partners in Sorrento and the CRVI.”

Lining up with Wallyño will be Carlo A. Puri Negri's much campaigned Farr/Felci 78 Atalanta 2 and Andrea Fornaro’s Swan 60 Sea Quill , plus several Mylius yachts. They include the two 60s, Manticore of Franz Wilhelm Baruffaldi Preis, Jean-Pierre Dreau’s Lady First III and Aldo Parisotto’s Mylius 65 Oscar3.

“I am really looking forward to be back on the race course again,” notes Aldo Parisotto. “The IMA Maxi Europeans will be the first of three events for Oscar3 this year. I was not in Sorrento last year, but this year I decided to enter.” Racing on board this year will be upcoming talent including Ettore Botticini, skipper in the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda’s ‘Young Azzurra’ program, with Maurizio Loberto navigating. “Hopefully we will build a good team as we’ve done in the past.”

Meanwhile Mauro Bini's Felci 62 Barrique3 , Luca Scoppa’s Dehler 60 Blue Oyster and the classic Swan 65 Shirlaf of Giuseppe Puttini are the lowest rated entries, but no less successful: Shirlaf won on these waters in 2021.

More posts.. History of Moscow Oblast The territory of the Moscow region was inhabited more than 20 thousand years ago. In the first millennium AD, this land was inhabited mostly by the Finno-Ugric peoples (Meryane and Meshchera). In the 9th-10th centuries, the Slavs began active development of the region. The population was engaged in hunting, fisheries, agriculture, and cattle breeding. In the middle of the 12th century, the territory of the present Moscow region became part of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality, the first towns were founded (Volokolamsk in 1135, Moscow in 1147, Zvenigorod in 1152, Dmitrov in 1154). In the first half of the 13th century, the Vladimir-Suzdal principality was conquered by the Mongols. In the 14th-16th centuries, Moscow principality became the center of unification of Russian lands. The history of the Moscow region is inextricably linked to military events of the Time of Troubles - the siege of the Trinity-Sergius Monastery by the troops of False Dmitry II, the first and second militias. More historical facts… In 1708, by decree of Peter the Great, Moskovskaya gubernia (province) was established. It included most of the territory of present Moscow oblast. In 1712, St. Petersburg became the capital of the Russian Empire and the significance of the Moscow region as the country’s economic center began to decrease. In 1812, the Battle of Borodino took place near Moscow. It was the biggest battle of the Russian-French War of 1812. In the second half of the 19th century, especially after the peasant reform of 1861, the Moscow province experienced economic growth. In 1851, the first railway connected Moscow and St. Petersburg; in 1862 - Nizhny Novgorod. The population of the Moscow region increased significantly (in 1847 - 1.13 million people, in 1905 - 2.65 million). On the eve of the First World War, Moscow was a city with a population of more than one million people. In November, 1917, the Soviet power was established in the region. In 1918, the country’s capital was moved from St. Petersburg to Moscow that contributed to economic recovery of the province. In the 1920s-1930s, a lot of churches located near Moscow were closed, a large number of cultural monuments were destroyed. On January 14, 1929, Moscow Oblast was formed. In 1941-1942, one of the most important battles of the Second World War took place on the territory of the region - the Battle for Moscow. In the postwar years, the growth of economic potential of the region continued; several science cities were founded (Dubna, Troitsk, Pushchino, Chernogolovka). In the 1990s, the economy of Moscow Oblast experienced a deep crisis. Since the 1990s, due to the motorization of the population and commuting, road traffic situation in the Moscow region significantly deteriorated. Traffic jams have become commonplace. Pictures of Moscow Oblast Moscow Oblast scenery Author: Mikhail Grizly At the airport in the Moscow region Author: Evgeny Davydov Nature of Moscow Oblast Author: Alexander Khmelkov Moscow Oblast - Features Moscow Oblast is located in the central part of the East European Plain, in the basin of the rivers of Volga, Oka, Klyazma, Moskva. The region stretches from north to south for 310 km, from west to east - 340 km. It was named after the city of Moscow, which however is not part of the region. Part of the administrative authorities of the region is located in Krasnogorsk. On the territory of the Moscow region, there are 77 cities and towns, 19 of them have a population of more than 100 thousand people.
