by Rolex Capri Sailing Week 18 May 2021 03:43 PDT
10-17 May 2021
At 7.20 yesterday morning, Monday 17 May, the 66th edition of the Regata dei Tre Golf officially drew to a close. Almost all the participating boats finished the race with impressive times, thanks to the ideal conditions encountered along the route.
First to cross the line in real time was Pendragon VI in 17 hours 54 minutes and 19 second - narrowly missing out on beating the record of 16 hours 44 minutes and 13 seconds set by Cippa Lippa IX in 2016 - while the last boat across the finish line was the First 34.7 Malafemmena at 10.53 on Sunday night, after 27 hours 53 minutes and 35 seconds of racing.
Organisers and participants alike were delighted with the excellent weather conditions and the management of such a complex race, with departure and arrival in two different locations and a very effective health safety protocol being implemented.
The rest of the day was dedicated to prepping the hulls for today's first day of the mark racing phase of the ORC European Championship, which will see 62 boats from 12 different nations on the water.
At 4:30 p.m. the prize-giving ceremony of the Tre Golfi began with the assignment of the Rolex Trophy to the top ranking yacht in the combined results of the Maxi Yacht Capri Trophy and the Regata dei Tre Golfi. Victory in the 2021 edition went to the Swan 65 Shirlaf owned by Giuseppe Puttini, a glorious 1976 hull designed by Sparkman & Stephens, beautifully maintained and skilfully guided by tactician Gabriele 'Ganga' Bruni.
