everybody survived and by the following day the ‘weight of water’ had evaporated in the heat and she floated normally again. Now a debate is going on between parties whom we cannot
name concerning a possible Rule 69 protest. By coincidence, when Scugnizza subsequently raced at the Italian championships she had a new ORC certificate, having apparently shed some 1,300kg in displacement; take this as you will but it is suggested that only 125kg had been removed from the bilge. With a new rating nearly 20sec/mile worse, the European champions (sic) unfortunately had a poor regatta. This was due to bad tactics. Ciao.
