3. Massimo Romeo Piparo with Guardamago 3 IY 9.98 (117.10 points)
This ranking rewards the best performances across 59 regattas, spanning both Inshore and Offshore events. It places a strong emphasis on technical buoy races while also recognizing the endurance and strategic skills required for long-distance competitions. Reaching the top of this leaderboard highlights mastery in two distinctly different styles of sailing: Technical buoy races, where precision, fast maneuvers, and tactical agility are key. Offshore races, which demand strategic navigation, an acute understanding of wind, currents, and wave patterns, and exceptional endurance.
Gianluigi Dubbini, Corrado Annis, and Massimo Romeo Piparo have proven themselves to be all-around sailors, excelling in every challenge. Italia Yachts also celebrates remarkable results in the class rankings: Class B: 1. Massimo Romeo Piparo with Guardamago 3 IY 11.98; 2. Stefano Rusconi with To Be IY 11.98. Class C: 1. Gianluigi Dubbini with Sarchiapone IY 9.98; 2. Corrado Annis with Lady Day IY 9.98; 3. Roberto Di Stefano with Take Five Jr. IY 9.98.
