Audi Azzurra Sailing Team skipper Guillermo Parada expects a strong sail in 2011 Barcelona Trophy
Italian TP52 yacht, Audi Azzurra Sailing Team had a superb run in the 2011 Region of Murcia Trophy, as the squad finished second with 28 points. However, in the overall TP52 series standings of 2011 Audi MedCup Circuit Regattas, the Italian team is struggling
at number two position behind leaders, Quantum Racing.
Skipper Audi Azzurra, Guillermo Parada, is expecting more from his team now in the upcoming final leg of the season, 2011 Barcelona Trophy. He believes they are highly motivated and are looking forward to challenge Quantum Racing for the Audi MedCup title,
as they are just five points behind the American team.
Though Audi Azzurra Sailing Team did not win any tournament, but they still managed to secure a strong position in the standings. They have sailed sensibly so far and have grabbed a strong stand in the eight-team TP52 series fleet. Parada and his crew have
got great support and are expecting a good race in 2011 Barcelona Trophy.
While speaking to local reporters about their tour to Barcelona, Parada said, “We will arrive in Barcelona very highly motivated, with a high morale with great support. We know that the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, Audi and Roemmers Family members will all
be there to support us, and that's why we want to finish the season in the best possible way. We expect to have a good week.”
