and here another little clip...
The story of our Barcolana race was on the front page a few weeks ago

Finally we have this good clip (which went live on the italian tv) of our downwind ride against a 1700 boat fleet, enjoy:
We were in Trieste to race in the Barcolana, with our Share640 Zerstoren .
Onboard Antonio Scarpa the builder, Adriano Condello the sailmaker and top class helmsman, and me the designer of the boat.
Conditions were instable, gusty wind and black clouds.
We were in the smallest class at 6,4...
J boat sells a brand, so IMO they can sell whatever they want and there will always be a lot of customers happy to drink their kool aid , thinking they have a cool boat.
Sailing a Share640 or another proper sportboat is not harder than sailing a j70, it is just way faster and more fun.
