IMPERIA WINTER REGATTA LASER'S 3RD AND LAST DAYImperia, 6th December 2006 - "Today could be a difficult day" _ said this morning Luigi Rognoni, event manager of Imperia Winter Regatta looking at the cloudy sky and the rough sea. As a matter of fact the southwesterly wind was not so strong, 15/16 knots so I was possible to sail some more three races for the Laser's fleet. Anyway another demanding day due to the rough sea.
Irish Roger Anthony Craig was the winner of all the three sailed
races followed by the Italian Giacomo Bottoli and the Lituanian
Rimsas Laurynas: Bottoli scored 5 (he capsasized on the starting
line of the first race)-2-3; the Lituanian sailor scored 3-3-2.
Craig won as well the final results after the 8 race series scoring an advantage of 5 points over the second, Bottoli and 13 point over the third Laurynas.
