Alfa Romeo Cleans Up At Boat International Superyacht Regatta

27/06/2008 18:53. Porto Cervo, Italy. 26 June 2008. The third and final race of the inaugural Boat International Superyacht Regatta saw Alfa Romeo's winning streak continue with a third consecutive victory on both real and corrected time. New Zealander Neville Crichton's 100 ft (30.38 m) canting keel maxi clearly dominated the Performance division ahead of Claus Peter Offen's Y3K (GER) and Magic Carpet2, owned by Lindsay Owen Jones (GBR). Victory in the Cruising division went to Italian Claudio de Eccher's Southern Star, a Southern Wind 80. Willy Persico's Acaia Cube (ITA) came second and Salperton, with Ed Dubois on board, came in third overall. Alfa Romeo also took overall victory, which was calculated on the basis of the total distance covered divided by each boat's total corrected time.
