Region of Sardinia Trophy 2011 winners, Audi Sailing team powered by All4One are all prepared for the 2011 Region of Murcia Trophy starting from Tuesday, August 23, at Cartagena in Spain. Murcia Region Trophy is the fourth of five 2011 Audi MedCup Circuit
Regattas and will feature all big names of the circuit.
The Audi Sailing Team powered by All4One will take part in the practice race of TP52 series yachts on Tuesday. They have been practising for the event since Sunday, so that they are able to tackle Cartagena’s unpredictable weather conditions.
The team’s performance in the 2011 Region of Sardinia Trophy was quite convincing, as they sprang up from lower position in the event to claim the overall victory in the end. However, in the overall standings of Audi MedCup Circuit, Audi Sailing Team Powered
by All4One still has a long way to go, as they are currently falling at number seven.
Speaking to local reporters, Audi Sailing Team powered by All4One tactician, Sebastian Col, said, “The team I just joined again is in good shape. For sure the last event and the fact that we did well was really a good point for us. But I do also feel that
we are not euphoric, and everybody's working really hard. We all know that everything is at stake again for each event, given that the level is really high.”
Boat captain and floater, Paolo Bassani added, “We proved in Cagliari that we can do very well, so the goal is to show the same level here in Cartagena. The conditions will be very different, but I think we can sail the boat very well either with less breeze,
or more breeze, with waves, or no waves. It is just up to us to do a good week. For sure we now know the boat better, besides we know each other better too.”
