Nave Palinuro in Cala dei Sardi for the J24 flagBy Michael Tognozzi - May 23, 2023Cala dei SardiThe 42nd J24 National Championship officially started today in Cala dei Sardi. Nave Palinuro will be present to honor this great event. From 27 to 28 May, the schooner of the Italian Navy will be the protagonist in the suggestive setting of the Gulf of Cugnana, where the competing boats will compete for the national title.The start of the first regatta is on 25 May, in the stretch of sea in front of Cala Liscia Ruja, precisely at 13:00. Today is the day dedicated to the measurements and measurements of the sails, while tomorrow the practice regatta for a test on the competition field. There are 27 regularly registered crews, who arrived in Cala dei Sardi from all over Italy, ready to do battle. Among all the "defender", the multiple Italian champion in office (8 tricolors won and two European titles) La Superba of the Naples Sailing Center of the Navy and helmed by Ignazio Bonanno. Many well-known names, among which Tommaso Chieffi stands out aboard Nox Oceani , as well as Marco Frulio on Aria (silver in 2021) and the President of the Italian Class Pietro Diamanti aboard Jamaica.«Receiving and welcoming Nave Palinuro is a great honor for us», says Simone Morelli, patron of the Cala dei Sardi, «but above all it represents a positive signal that follows the visits of the Amerigo Vespucci in previous years, highlighting the work which, as a Yacht Club, we are carrying out both from a sporting point of view and in the promotion of the territory. While waiting for the start of the regattas and in the excitement of being able to admire one of the masterpieces of the Navy, I remember Palinuro's motto: 'Faventibus Ventis', or 'With the favor of the winds'.»
