Bracciano regatta results DAY ONE

Alberto Ferrari 1st
Tim Garvin 2nd
Andrea Gancia 3rd
Andrea Magni 4th
Guido Falciola 5th

18-20 knots wind with bright sunshine saw 22 D-Ones take to the water for the first day of racing in Bracciano.
Race One saw Alberto Ferrari burn straight into the lead closely followed by Tim Garvin and Andrea Gancia.
Ferrari capsized on a gybe and allowed Garvin through however Garvin had to do penalty turns for a "room" at the leeward mark situation. In the building breeze and having done turns, Garvin was able to get to the windward mark with comfortable lead only to give the race to Ferrari ten boat lengths from the finish line. Andrea Gancia was 3rd.
Race Two and it was Garvin who was first to the windward mark by approx 10 boat lengths, but again slowed on the downwind leg to allow Ferrari and Andrea Curzi to catch him up.
Leeward mark saw Garvin round in first closely followed by Curzi then Ferrari and Gancia.
Garvin pulled away again upwind and Curzi dropped to 5th with Ferrari 2nd and Gancia 3rd, again.
Ferrari got the best shifts on the downwind leg and overtook Garvin to take the bullet, with Gancia 3rd.
After a hard couple of races it was into shore for a wonderful Italian food spread all included in the entry fee, second free meal of the day!
All to play for tomorrow with the last race "undisgardable" anyone could win.
More results tomorrow.
