GIANCARLO PEDOTE

He deserves this post! Look at the advance he has! Nobody is going to steal this victory from him on the secretary....and it is not (only) the boat since there is another similar boat racing and a more modern one. Italy has a champion in solo racing and that is good. Now great solo racers are not only French, but also German, Swiss and Italian. Solo sailing is on the rise and I like it :-)

  1. Pedote not only won the first leg of the Les Sables-Acores-Les Sables, he dominated his competitors. Even Davy Beaudart, on Cutisol (the new Raison scow design), was unable to keep up with him prior to being dismasted. He is clearly going to be the favorite for next year's Transat. And I hope he graduates to even bigger things - IMOCA would be nice, in my opinion. One thing prospective sponsors will immediately appreciate is that he speaks perfect French, as well as Italian, and very good English. An extremely talented sailor with a great future ahead of him. Chapeau!
