With a score of 3 to 2 the French climbed to the top step of the podium, awarded as European Match Racing Youth Champions, the Italian team of Riccardo Sepe had to settle for second place.
The best for third place went to the other French crew of Tom Foucher, Edouard Champault and Gwen Guenin. The other Italian crew of Ludovico Mori, Gabriele Romeo and Paolo Iacchia had to settle for fourth place.
There was great satisfaction to have restarted with international regattas, to see a glimmer of “normality”.
The words of the President Camilla Baruzzi: “First of all, thanks go to my team, which proved to be of indisputable professionalism. It was exciting to see how young sailors proved mature and tireless collaborating with the veterans of the Club. This is real luck of our Association, to be able to count on the voluntary service of the Club members who invaluable help during these events, which give great prominence to the Association and the Ledro Valley but are also very tiring. The Race Committee and the International Jury did an impeccable job by completing all the scheduled matches, the sailors proved to be serious and prepared despite their young age.”
