Desafío and AUDI Q8 train in Valencia

As we mentioned last week, this could be well considered as the unofficial training week for the TP52 fleet in Valencia. With just a couple of exceptions, the entire fleet is here, busy putting more miles under their belt.

On Monday, it was the turn of AUDI Q8 and Desafío to train together, joined by Marazzi Sailing and Pisco Sour. It was interesting to observe that Desafío's crew is now Spanish, with a touch of Italian and Argentinian flavor. Italians Carlo Castellano and Bruno Zirilli were grinding and navigating, respectively, on the Spanish yacht while Argentinian Santi Lange was calling tactics.
