Rolex IMS Offshore Worlds

Racing gets underway in Capri PLUS photos from Carlo Borlenghi

Italtel, X-Sport, and Paul & Shark dominated the three classes on the first day of Offshore Rolex IMS World Championship 2003, organised from the Yacht Club Smeralda Coast in collaboration with the Yacht Club of Capri and the Sailing Association of the Gulf of Naples.

Sailing took place in 8-12 knot wind and the 64 boats got underway at 12.30 on their first of two coastal races, each 18 miles long.

First round the mark was Charles Dunstone's new Reichel-Pugh maxi Enigma of London, followed by X-Sport and Bumblebee 5, while Italtel, Wind and Flash were first around in the the B Division.
