It’s been 13 years since the Italian sailing maestro Flavio Favini won a Melges 24 world championship. Last year in San Francisco he finished runner-up to Brian Porter’s Full Throttle by two points and on many more occasions since his win in 2001, Favini has finished tantalisingly close to the top spot. Tonight the triumphant helmsman has a second title in the bag and so comfortable is Blu Moon’s winning margin they will pack up the boat tomorrow ready for shipping while a ding-dong battle for the remaining podium placings is underway in the final race of the series. The two American teams, Harry Melges’ STAR and Bora Gulari’s West Marine Rigging/New England Ropes are a point apart, 36 and 37, in second and third overall. “It’s on,” said a grinning Gulari after reading the scores. Favini paid tribute to his team of Gabriele Benussi (tactician), Stefano Rizzi, Giovanni Ferrari and Nicholas Dal Ferro, “We have a very good crew, so many good sailors that make my job so much easier.”
