Franco-German Audi Sailing Team wins 2011 Region of Sardinia Trophy: 2011 Audi MedCup Circuit
Consistency brought the Franco-German Audi Sailing Team Powered by All4One to the brink of 2011 Region of Sardinia Trophy victory at the Gulf of Cagliari. The team has displayed tremendous sailing skills throughout the race even under tough weather conditions
to clinch the victory. The Sardinia Region Trophy win will be an icing on the cake for the Franco-German team to improve in their overall standings.
The weather conditions remained harsh till the end of the event, which had a very punishing impact on the performance of some sailors, including Quantum Racing and Audi Azzurra Sailing Team. AST Powered by All4One was also wobbled by the Cagliari Mistral
blowing around 25 knots in the first two races and on the final day, but they stayed focused to grab the final victory in the end.
This victory will definitely help AST Powered by All4One improve their overall standings in 2011 Audi MedCup Circuit. Despite an unconvincing run in the Sardinia Region Trophy, America’s Quantum Racing is still leading the Audi MedCup overall results with
91 points in three regattas.
However, Sweden’s Ran has lost the fifth spot and has moved down to number six overall. They are replaced by the Spanish Bribon who earned third and fourth places in final day’s races, to claim fifth spot in the circuit standings with 122.5 points.
