The Italian FW National Championships - 2005
by Ferdinando Caridi ITA – 929


For the fifth time Andrea Cucchi won the Italian FW National Championships raced in Reggio Calabria from Tuesday 5th to Saturday 9th July.
51 competitors were present in the most important regatta of Italian saeson , all the top national sailors and a lot of windsurfers from Southern Italy, Sicily, Calabria, Puglia, and Campania, more than a half of the whole fleet.
Light wind in the first day of the competition, four races on Wednesday 6th, three on Thursday7th, and one on Friday 8th. No race in the last day af competition.
Andrea Cucchi one time again is the best Italian competitor, and since the first regatta led the competition. Seven time first out of the eight races is an evidence that he has not rivals in 2005 too.2nd place for Alberto Menegatti, ten year younger than Andrea, five times 2nd in the races. Third place for Patrik Diethelm, fourth for Davide Beverino and fifth for the current European Master champion Marco Begalli that naturally achieved the master general results. The very pleasant Australian grandmaster Tibor Ferenczy has been the only foreign competitor, 21th general and 2nd grandmaster after Carmelo Nici. The first three competitors are usually training in the lake of Garda. Thank for the organization of Magna Grecia Wind Club in Reggio Calabria and see you again in Ravenna on Spring 2006.
