Tre gånger på raken i en sån här klass är ju helt otroligt. Att Prins Frederik knep en fjärdeplats måste ju också vara en liten skräll. Före bland andra Barking Mad och Alinghi. Alla foton: Rolex/Kurt Arrigo.

Mascalzone Latino Makes it Three World Titles in a Row

April 19, 2008

Miami Beach, Fla. USA – Vincenzo Onorato and his Mascalzone Latino are the 2008 Rolex Farr 40 World Champions, achieving a first in the sailing world – three back-to-back victories in this ultra-competitive one design class. This evening in addition to the World Cup, Onorato was presented with a commemorative Rolex timepiece at the Rolex Farr 40 World Championship Awards party.

“As I told my crew before the start, it is quite impossible to do,” said Onorato of winning again. “But we did it, thank God. It was a tough week.” What makes this accomplishment even more remarkable is that Onorato had not one, but two substitutes for regular tactician Adrian Stead in Morgan Larson and John Kostecki.

Mascalzone Latino Holds onto Fleet Lead

April 18, 2008

Shifts plagued fleet – some gained, some strained

Miami Beach, Fla., USA – After a day of struggling with light and very shifty winds, the leader of the 33-boat fleet at the Rolex Farr 40 Worlds remains Mascalzone Latino, Vincenzo Onorato’s Italian entry, with Joe Fly (ITA) in second and Alinghi (SUI) moving up into the third-place slot. Two races were held today and two races remain to be sailed tomorrow in the 10-race series. There are no throwouts – or discard races – in the ultra-competitive Farr 40 Class. No one knows better than Onorato, the defending champion, and his team that a one-point lead is not a cushion.

Sveriges främste båtkonstruktör?

När Olin Stephens fyllde 100 kom vi att diskutera vilken svensk konstruktör som betytt mest för svensk segelsport. Det fanns ju lite olika bud på hur, vem och varför så låt oss (som vanligt) göra en ovetenskaplig omröstning i frågan.

Alltså, vem har haft störst påverkan på svensk segling?

Peter Norlin eller Pelle P? Per Brohäll var ju banbrytande med Trissjollen? Lars-Olof Norlin är väl den ende som ritat en båt som vunnit IMS-VM? Eller någon av de klassiska namnen?
