Today, Thursday 6th of August, has been the fourth day of regatta, and the big surprise of the day has been that the maxi Alfa Romeo (Neville Crichton / Ben Ainsley - NZL) was second in the coastal race
With winds below 10 knots, the winner (compensated time) was the maxi Bella Mente (Hap Fauth - USA).
However, Alfa Romeo has a very comfortable advantage of 7.5 points over Bella Mente, now in second place, and 12.5 points over Container (Udo Schuetz / Marcus Wieser - GER), third. Aifos (last year's winner) has risen from ninth to seventh place.
