Diego Negri and Sergio Lambertenghi are the 2022 Star Eastern Hemisphere Champions with one day to spare
Another day of great sailing in the Gulf of Naples for the Star Eastern Hemisphere 2022 Championship. Two more races were held today, for a total of six of the seven races scheduled, both won by reigning World Champion Diego Negri with Sergio Lambertenghi. The title is already theirs: thanks to the excellent results obtained during the week they are already mathematically the winners of this edition of the Silver Event, as the continental titles of the Star Class are called, as it assigns a silver star to sport on the mainsail of those who won them.
Star Eastern Hemisphere Championship Day Two: Diego Negri and Sergio Lambertenghi hold on to top of the ranking
The Star Eastern Hemisphere Championship 2022 is in full swing. A day of great challenges in the Gulf of Naples, among broken masts, technical issues and many protests. To tame the gale and win the third race of the event, the first scheduled today, was the World Champion Diego Negri with Sergio Lambertenghi (ITA), at the end of a very tight race, in which Pietr Eckert and Frederico Melo (SUI) finished second and Marin Misura and Tonko Barac (CRO) were thirds.
Star Eastern Hemisphere Championship 2022, Day One: Diego Negri and Sergio Lambertenghi provisional leaders
Naples and the Reale Yacht Club Canottieri offered their most beautiful conditions to the champions of the Star class, engaged from today in the Eastern Hemisphere Championship. It was a great first day in the Gulf of Naples. Clear skies, a ten knot Grecale wind, two clean races with regular starts: ideal for sailing.
The best of the day is the world champion Diego Negri, who, with crew Sergio Lambertenghi, won both races, taking immediately the head of the overall ranking. In second place another Italian world champion, Enrico Chieffi with Ferdinando Colaninno: the recent Italian Open champions bring home a fourth and a second place of the day. Third are Marin Misura and Tonko Barac on Croatel Two from Croatia (5-3).
