HOW MANY RACES HAVE YOU<br />
GOT UNDER YOUR BELT?<br />
I haven’t done many yacht races<br />
in my life. I started sailing in Italy<br />
10 years ago with my cousin. We<br />
took part in several winter series<br />
at the local yacht club and a few<br />
national championships. My career<br />
as a professional sailor started in<br />
2006 on a Farr 70’ racer cruiser.<br />
I’ve done the Rolex circuit in the<br />
Mediterranean, the Giraglia, the<br />
Trofeo Zegna and the Maxi World<br />
Series in Sardinia, among others.<br />
After that, I crossed the Atlantic,<br />
Panama and the Pacifi c where<br />
I landed in New Zealand at the<br />
end of 2007. For three and a half<br />
years I raced regularly on a couple<br />
of 50-footers in the fi rst division<br />
doing inshore and off shore races.<br />
WHAT’S YOUR STRATEGY TO WIN<br />
THE RACE?<br />
The fl eet seems competitive. A<br />
good strategy would be to stay<br />
ahead from the start and keep<br />
the lead.<br />
The Phuket King’s Cup Regatta<br />
is on 3-10 Dec at Kata Beach<br />
Resort & Spa, Phuket.
