This weekend MSC - represented by Angelo Pietrantonio, Olmo Del Pozzo, Fabio Di Rosa, Damien Benard, Joel Kunzi and Lars Termansen with Nicolas Groux at the helm - participated in the 81st edition of the Bol d'Or, the world’s leading inland regatta held on Lake Geneva.
This edition was marked by stormy weather and it was a long and difficult race due to the conditions. Among the 500 boats competing over a 123-kilometer course on Lake Geneva, our sailors held on and crossed the finish line after 17 hours and 40 minutes, for an overall ranking of 24th and 4th in the TCFX category.
It means MSC Team has gained four points in the ranking compared with last year, a great success.
Congratulations to our crew, who will remember this rough crossing for a long time, for their achievement.
After successfully competing in Bol D’or the team will start preparing for Copa del Rey, one of the most prestigious.
