The crew from Nerone was commanded by the Italians Massimo Mezzoroma and Alberto Signorini, who maintained during the four days an arduous fight with the Australian Guido Belgiorno-Nettis on board of the Transfussion and the American Jim Richardson and his Barking Mad.
Since the beginning of the regatta, these three boats maintained their leadership on the first places, with very close scores from one another.
On the first day, the regatta was sponsored by Casa de Campo, and Transfussion took the first place, followed by Barking Mad on the second place and Nerone on the third. The winners got a beautiful replica of a scale Farr 40 boat inside a glass and mahogany box.
The second day was outlined as a good scenario, but the weather conditions quickly changed, forcing to cancel the competitions hours later because of the lack of wind and some showers during the day.
On Friday, with renewed enthusiasm, the competition restarted and they achieved an overall of four races, to compensate the previous day. The third award event was sponsored by Land Rover, who prepared a cocktail party and gathered a large group of important personalities of the Dominican Republic, to honor these fabulous athletes. The Italians of Nerone took the first price after closely surpassing Transfussion, their gratest competition from the event, and Barking Mad on the third place.
A radiant sun and the perfect breeze conditions, welcomed the fourth and last day of the Rolex Farr 40 World Championship 2010.
Mezzaroma celebrated victory effusively with his crew as they crossed the line, but ashore was more circumspect, “this Worlds has a lot of meaning for us because my co-owner and helmsman Antonio Sodo Migliori had a very bad accident one month ago. And we’ve done this for him and another guy, Simon, who’s been sailing with us for ten years. These two guys are injured at home and it is very important for us to get this result.”
Mezzaroma continued, “after last year at the Worlds in Sardinia we were a bit sad because losing in the last race of the series is very tough. This time we won! Sometimes it comes, sometimes it goes.” As for 2011 and the Rolex Farr 40 Worlds in Sydney, Mezzaroma was honest, “we were thinking of not going because we are becoming old, everyone has family and kids. But at this point there is no chance that we are not going!”
The 2011 Rolex Farr 40 World Championship will take place February 23 – 26, 2011 in Sydney, Australia.
