2013 Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup

Porto Cervo, Italy (September 5, 2013) – After Wednesday’s layday, action resumed today at the 2013 Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup. The 37-strong fleet was put through its paces in stifling heat and with some fickle wind shifts in Porto Cervo. Mini Maxi and Wally classes contested two dramatic windward/leeward races, while the remainder of the fleet completed a 31-nm coastal course taking in some of the highlights of the Maddalena Archipelago. Among today’s winners were Bella Mente (USA) with a second and a third in the Mini Maxi Rolex World Championship. – Full story
