The words of President Camilla Baruzzi: “first of all, thanks go to my team, which has proved to be of unquestionable professionalism and it was exciting to see how young sailors proved to be mature and tireless, collaborating with the Club’s veterans, this is the real luck of our Association, to be able to count on the voluntary work of the members of the Club who are invaluable during these events, giving great prominence to the Association and the Valle di Ledro but they are also very tiring.
The Race Committee and the International Jury carried out an impeccable job completing all the scheduled matches, the sailors proved to be serious and prepared despite their young age.
Once the regattas have been archived it is time to think about the Sailing School, in fact the boys will start sailing courses on Monday, a precious opportunity to introduce our sport to youngs “
