The Italian Absolute Offshore Sailing Championship in Capo d’Orlando, which awarded the ORC championships of Italian sailing, goes into the archives. A complex edition in terms of weather, with only two days out of four useful for racing, on days 2 and 3 in fact the wind was not consistent enough to place the race courses. The final day, however, was fortunate for the Race Committee, which, as in the debut day, managed to complete 3 races, for a total of 6 over the course of the event.
