Boris Herrmann’s Team Malizia (GER), rounded in third with Ambrogio Beccaria’s Italian entry Allagrande Mapei close behind in fourth. “There were two waypoints – one north and one south – on the northern side of the island of Ustica,” explained Team Malizia’s Italian sailor Francesca Clapcich. “Now we are making our way south and going around Sicily. I’m looking forward to getting a bit further south and into the Adriatic where hopefully it will be a little bit more stable. “We haven’t had so much of these conditions since we started so it’s good to enjoy it,” he said.
