Italian Style on the French Riviera
Extreme Sailing Series, Act 7, Nice, Day 2 – early start for the 11 Extreme 40 teams to maximise the morning breeze ahead of the afternoon racing which actually delivered some great, close racing. Three race wins for Max Sirena’s Italian Luna Rossa team with three race wins, elevating them to 3rd place in the Act 7 rankings from 8th yesterday. Â But the Red Bull Extreme Sailing team fend off the competition to hold the overall lead in Nice.
