#rmsr2021 #rolexmiddlesearace The next lines that I am posting today are again from the rubric Interview with a competitor after RMSR, but here the competitors are only two in the Double-handed class, Class6. While I was anxiously waiting for the start, a lot of boats were moving around me, but the thing that caught my attention was these boats with two people on deck.

#rmsr2021 #rolexmiddlesearace Based on the statement that sooner or later each passenger returns home, Valletta began to take home the heroes one by one. The first Maltese boat to finish the race was the HH42 Artie III, skippered by Lee Satariano (15 races) and Christian Ripard (31 races) taking a temporary seventh place in the overall standings, second in the IRC Class Three. “We adapted our watch system to ensure the drivers and tactician were kept fresh. Once or twice from Stromboli (to Trapani) we were on the limit, broaching more than once. We were prepared for these moments and kept the boat intact.” (more…)
