Thursday morning the first RC44 Cup fleet race will start. Today the crews tested their boats in the Gulf of Trieste with over 20 knots of Bora wind, the best performances came from Team Omega steered by Russell Coutts and Team Aqua with Chris Bake at the helm. 10 teams will be racing, so the rankings could change since there are many participants and highly professional teams. Russell Cutts likes Bora wind, he knows he’ll have some advantage with strong wind.
There are 775 entrants in Barcolana 39 so far, among which the Farr80 Banca Generali, with Pelaschier at the helm, who will challenge Cino Ricci, recruited for the race by the Army. The three strongest helmsmen in the world, Russell Coutts, Dean Barker and James Spithill, presented today Trieste RC44 Cup to the press.
