Region of Sardinia Throphy Race 2011 - Victory for XXII Sardegna and Audi All4One

Audi Sailing Team powered by ALL4ONE won their second race of the  Region of Sardinia Trophy to increase their overall lead at the third  regatta of the Audi MedCup Circuit whilst third place for Quantum  Racing sees the American flagged team rise to second overall in the regatta. There was joy for the local Cagliari team on XXII-Sardegna when they won their first race on their home waters in the 40 Series fleet. The local team set themselves up for victory with a punchy start, herding their opposition high of the committee boat end of the start line. From there they sailed astutely in the light breeze to stay ahead of Iberdrola Sailing Team to take the winning gun. After a four hours delay waiting for the sea breeze to settle enough to race, patience was rewarded with a good contest in 6-9kts of SEíly breeze.   Audi ALL4ONE ducked four sterns to get to the right early in the beat and were rewarded with a good lead at the windward mark. Bribon also gained on the right early and tracked around the course in second.
