Kevin Hall, Sebastien Col and Francesco Bruni ready for Marseille Trophy: 2011 Audi Medcup Circuit
Second leg of Audi Medcup Circuit 2011 regatta, Audi Medcup Marseille Trophy, will commence on Tuesday, June 14 at the Vieux Port in Marseille, France with eight teams from around the world participating
in the event. The top sailors including Kevin Hall, Sebastien Col and Francesco Bruni are ready to battle on Marseille waters.
The first leg and 2010 Marseille Trophy winner, Quantum Racing will face a tough competition this time but they are determined and focused to come out on top yet again. The team practised on Marseille
waters to see if they can manage to win this time.
While speaking to the local media, Quantum Racing navigator, Kevin Hall said, “Today´s practice will be a bit of a change for us since we haven´t done very much sailing in this type of conditions.
I love Marseille because the racing is very challenging.”
The Italian, Audi Azzurra Sailing Team, is also determined to grab the glory this time.
Francesco Bruni, the tactician at Audi Azzurra Sailing Team, told reporters, “We are very curious to see how the boats sail in lighter conditions. Cascais was tough on everybody, windy all the time.
We want to see the boat in different conditions. It´ll be an interesting day for Audi Azzurra Sailing Team.”
The Franco-German Audi Sailing Team finished last in the first leg of the Audi Medcup but this time they have other plans to race.
The Audi Sailing Team tactician, Sébastien Col said to the press, "We've made big changes to the spinnakers, we've tried to make the boat sail in another way, and we've changed our positions onboard
a bit too. Today we were out with other boats again for the first time and we thought it was better.”
The weather conditions at Vieux Port in Marseille are favourable for the race but they are a bit different from Cascais. The temperature is predicted to go as high as 26 degrees while the breeze has
been up to 17 knots during the last couple of days.
The first leg of the 2011 Audi Medcup Circuit regatta, Cascais Trophy finished on May 22 and proved to be a strong start of the regatta circuit with TP52 yacht series. The results at the end of the
first Audi Medcup race are given below.
1. Quantum Racing = 19 points
2. Container = 31.5 points
3. Audi Azzurra Sailing Team = 32.5 points
4. Synergy = 37 points
