Tre belle prove oggi a Malcesine per la prima giornata del Campionato Italiano Dolphin 81, con condizioni in rapida evoluzione e molto tecniche che hanno messo subito alla prova la flotta.

Dopo una mattinata temporalesca, la prima prova si è disputata con il Peler. Successivamente, con il progressivo avanzare della giornata, il vento ha ruotato repentinamente da nord a sud, stabilizzandosi attorno ai 13 nodi e permettendo lo svolgimento regolare delle regate successive.

In acqua 25 imbarcazioni sulla linea di partenza, tra cui due equipaggi U25 provenienti dalla I e dalla XIV Zona FIV, a conferma della forte presenza e crescita dei giovani all’interno della classe.

Dopo tre regate combattute, la classifica di giornata vede al comando:
🥇 ITA 111 – TWISTER
Timonata da Mattia Polettini, armatore Flavio Bocchio (FVD)
🥈 ITA 78 – BARAIMBO
Timonato da Giovanni Pizzatti, armatori Razzi–Imperadori (Fraglia Vela Desenzano)
🥉 ITA 54 – OCIESSE
di Gianni Giordo (ANS Sebina)

Una prima giornata intensa, con equilibri già molto serrati in vista delle prossime prove del Campionato Italiano.

Some of the most renowned names in yacht design have left their mark on Maxi Dolphin builds.

From the refined lines of Axel de Beaufort to the performance-driven thinking of Botin & Partners, from the vision of Guillaume Verdier to the timeless elegance of Germán Frers — each project reflects a dialogue between design excellence and craftsmanship.

Designers such as Alejandro Bottino, Luca Brenta, Bruce Farr, Finot-Conq, Pierre Frutschi, Harry Miesbauer, Mark Mills, Nauta Design, Ettore Santarelli, Roberto Starkel and Bill Tripp have all contributed to shaping yachts that are as distinctive as the people behind them.

Different signatures. One philosophy: building yachts where design and construction meet at the highest level.

Last night in Rome, one of the most significant events in Italian sailing took place: the Velista dell’Anno, promoted by the Federazione Italiana Vela.

For Maxi Dolphin, this has become a long-standing commitment. Being an official sponsor of the event means actively supporting the future of our sport.

Also in attendance was CEO Luca Botter, highlighting the strong and direct connection between the shipyard and the world of high-performance sailing.

Seeing so many young athletes take the stage, with passion and determination, is the clearest sign of a sport that continues to grow, evolve, and look ahead.

We are proud to be part of this journey.

EKITA — where cruising meets performance.

The second MD62ab, launched in 2022, was built for an owner who wanted both: the freedom of relaxed sailing and the thrill of racing in the Mini Maxi class.

A lifting keel, race-inspired rig, advanced systems, and a powerful sail plan define her performance DNA — while refined interiors in Canaletto walnut and marble details ensure comfort on every journey.

Two souls, one yacht.

Where every detail has a purpose, and every line speaks the same language as the hull: clean, refined, intentional.

Natural light, balanced materials, and spaces designed not just to be lived in — but to be experienced.

Because performance doesn’t stop on deck. It continues below, in the quiet elegance of every interior choice.

MaxiDolphin Lake Garda Sailing Series 2026 – Baraimbo II claims Trofeo Santarelli

The Trofeo Santarelli took place over the weekend at Circolo Vela Torbole, marking the third event of the MaxiDolphin Lake Garda Sailing Series 2026.

A fleet of 17 Dolphin 81s delivered four tightly contested races, resulting in an extremely close overall ranking, with the top three boats separated by just a few points.

Taking the win was Baraimbo II (Imperadori–Razzi), helmed by Giovanni Pizzatti. Representing Fraglia Vela Desenzano, the team secured victory ahead of Ociesse (Giovanni Giordo), steered by Mario Ziliani, confirming the strong form already shown in the previous event.
In third place, Twister–Sterilgarda (Flavio Bocchio), helmed by Mattia Polettini, who had led the standings after the first day of racing.

In the Owner/Helmsman category, victory went to Paolo Masserdotti with S&You, finishing fourth overall, just six points shy of the podium.
A special mention goes to El Moro: Enrico Sinibaldi’s team, leading today’s only race, was unfortunately forced to retire due to a dismasting.

With the Trofeo Santarelli concluded, the MaxiDolphin Lake Garda Sailing Series 2026 will continue in Gargnano for the upcoming Gentlemen’s Cup.

The Dolphin 81 Class would like to thank its official partners — MaxiDolphin (title sponsor), Bossong SPA, Alu4Expo, Sunstripes, Ristorante Capovento and Hotel Piccola Vela — whose support plays a key role in the organisation and growth of the fleet.
