Giovi takes victory in the Solaris Adriatic Cup

Giovi, Paolo Bastiani’s 2019 Solaris 55, has taken overall line honours in the Barcolana Solaris Adriatic Cup, the race dedicated to yachts built by Aquileia-based Solaris Yachts and organised in collaboration with Yacht Club Portopiccolo. Today, the fleet competed on the course of the main Barcolana race, bringing the Solaris yachts into the waters of the Autumn Cup.

In the overall standings, Giovi finished first, ahead of Alvise Zanetti’s Sunny, a 2015 Solaris 58, and Luigi Panozzo’s Isla Bonita III, a Solaris 44. In Group A, for yachts measuring between 36 and 47.99 feet, Isla Bonita III took victory ahead of Farewell IV, entered by Solaris Yachts, and Roberto Mattiuzzo’s Andreborah. Sailing aboard Farewell IV were also five students from the Nautical Institute of Trieste, two from the Nautical Institute of Imperia and two female students from Carducci Dante in Trieste, taking part in a hospitality project developed in collaboration with the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, PromoTurismoFVG and Solaris Yachts. In Group B, for yachts measuring between 48 and 57.99 feet, Giovi took victory ahead of Sunny and Renzo Franco’s Bambù 4.
