Meloni & Gemini lead at Pietra Bianca
Italy is busy selecting its 2009 Teams. The second of their Regate Nazionale was held at CV Pietrabianca last weekend. Giovanni Meloni & Alessandro Gemini took the regatta from Davide Ortelli & Leonardo Zaggia and Federico Maria Maccari & Rocco Vitali. Christina Celli & Silvia Morini led the women (in 6th overall), a point ahead of Junior European Women’s Champions, Camilla Marino & Claudia Soricelli.
We caught up with Ricardo de Felice, the CV Senigallia coach who reports that the regatta was held in light winds, with the currents having an impact on the racing.
