Desafío Español 2007 - Mascalzone Latino Team Capitalia: 1 - 0

The day did not start well for the Italian challenger. In their first race against the Spanish, Vasco Vascotto's boat suffered the first of the two disastrous problems of the afternoon, forcing Mascalzone Latino Team Capitalia to abandon the race. Three quarters into the first leg of the race, when ESP 67 was ahead about three boat lengths, ITA 77 suffered a tremendous blow when its mainsail broke apart, causing the retirement of the Italians.
