AM32SS Audi Melges 32 Sailing Series Event No. 1 | Fraglia Vela Malcesine Event No. 2 | Cagliari Event No. 3 | Tuscany Event No. 4 | Santa Margherita Ligure Event No. 5 | Lerici For title sponsor Audi, Melges Europe and the International Class, the 2008 Audi Melges 32 Sailing Series was a great success. Seventeen teams participated in the five-part regatta series and it all began in beautiful Malcesine, then traveled onward to Cagliari, Cala de Medici and Santa Margherita Ligure. The grand finale took place in Lerici in early October where Claudio Recchi aboard Lorenzo Santini’s Uka Uka Racing was crowned champion. His tactician Gabriele Benussi and crew Andrea Felci, Federico Michetti, Vittorio Rochelli, Luca Favarelli, Carlo Zermini and Giovanni Puntello celebrated the victory too. Recchi participated in every Audi Melges 32 series event and won an impressive three out of five - Cagliari, Santa Margherita and Lerici. It was this performance that delivered him the well deserved overall title. “All these guys are fantastic to sail with and they are the real reason we have been successful. The Melges 32 is a truly great class, superbly well organized, with marvelous competitors and races at some great venues. I think, 2009 will be even better, with more boats and a World Championship in Porto Cervo,” said Recchi.
