Italian Pair Begin Nacra 17 Defense

The Mixed Multihull event got underway yesterday and it was Italy’s Tita and Banti who took control early. The reigning Olympic champions began with a point to prove, winning the first two races in windy conditions.

Argentina’s Mateo Majdalani and Eugenia Bosco finished the day only two points off the Italian leaders, after a strong second placed finished in race one and two.

How it works:

Medals for the Mixed Multihull (Nacra 17) be decided by the cumulative results of the 19-strong fleet over 12 races. The boat with the lowest total will rank first. Athletes will be able to discard their worst finishing position after they’ve completed three races.

At the end of the Opening Series, the top ten boats in the fleet will qualify for the Medal Race, which is worth double points. The score in the Medal Race cannot be discarded. The crew with the smallest overall points total will win gold.
