June 10,2008: Saint Tropez: "Giraglia Rolex Cup: Magic Carpet Squared wins the inshore races in the Wally Division."
208 boats competed this year in the Giraglia Rolex Cup inshore races, a record number that reflects the growing success of the event that offers to the participants unique sailing conditions combined with the glamour and charm of the Saint Tropez village.
The Wally division was made of Y3K, Magic Carpet Squared, Open Season and K2Wind.
One race each day was sailed in this three-day regatta that is held before the start of the offshore race, and two of them were characterised by very light wind resulting very challenging for the tacticians.
Y3K and Magic Carpet Squared were tight until the last leg of the last race and the latter won the Wally Division by a small margin, proving once again how competitive the Class is.
Kauris III and K2Wind are competing in the 243-mile Giraglia offshore race, starting June 11th.
