Catching up with Mascalzone Latino early in the morning

Valencia Sailing had the chance to catch up with Mascalzone Latino - Capitalia Team early in the morning on Tuesday. We took some pictures of the team's activities before sailing, which usually takes place at 11:30 am, wind and weather conditions allowing.

On Tuesday and Wednesday the Italians carried out their training sessions match-racing together with K-Challenge. Since the French are located approximately 70km south of Valencia, both teams had their boats towed somewhere in the middle and went ahead with their duels, a bit like an old fashioned gun fight in the wild west.

Unfortunately, my very tight work schedule did not allow me to follow any of the training sessions here in Valencia, whether of Mascalzone or any other team. All teams are winding down their training in Valencia and start packing up in order to make the move to Malmö. The boat that will carry the America's Cup yachts is scheduled to leave Valencia on August 8th.
