The Winners Of The Rolex International Regatta | Southern Wind Trophy 2016, Capri

Proudly published the long-awaited results of the jubilee regatta Southern Wind Intermanional Rolex Regatta (SWS Trophy) 2016, held in late may in the beautiful Italian resort island of Capri, rich in sailing events this year (remembering the Azimut Yachting Gala IX, held the day before).

Prizes were distributed in the following order:

1. SW102RS Seawave
2. SW82 Grande Orazio
3. SW78 Whisper
4. SW100RS Blues
5. SW100DS Farewell
6. SW100RS Cape Arrow

10. SW102DS Hevea
11. SW102DS Almagores
12. SW94 Lady G
13. SW100DS Farandwide

In 2016, the event has become more than just a race - shipyard Southern Wind celebrating its 25th anniversary. In this regard, Willy Persico, General Director of the shipyard, at the gala dinner made an excursion into the history of the Southern Wind and presented a new project of a sailing super yacht Southern Wind - P90, and SW 96 SW105.

The race itself lasted 4 days, the results of which determined the winner - sailing yacht SW102RS Seawave.  It is noteworthy that, according to veteran Volvo Ocean Race Matt Hamfris, the crew of the yacht to the last had no idea what kind of results to expect, because Seawave had never participated in competitions. However, as we have seen, "racing debut" SW102RS Seawave was more than impressive! Second and third places were taken SW83 SW78 Grande Orazio and Whisper, respectively, again demonstrating the advantages and excellent driving performance.

Remembering the past event, we can say that the celebration of the 25th anniversary Southern Wind and the regatta became a warm and touching meeting friends, bright celebration and exciting competition, and a welcoming and stunningly scenic island of Capri has added charm and grace inherent in the real Italian style.
The final chord was the presentation of awards and prizes in the main square of the island, accompanied with a standing ovation and the traditional "champagne shower" in honor of the winners!

Jonacor Marine congratulates once again the shipyard Southern Wind on the Anniversary!
