Perini Navi Cup 2013 Overall

Sunshine and a light breeze helped the superyachts around the course on the final and decisive race of the fifth edition of the Perini Navi Cup. The event, organised by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda for superyachts produced buy the infamous Italian shipyard Perini Navi, saw victory go to the 50m (164ft) Silencio. Second place went to the 38m (124ft) performance cruising sloop P2 while the 53m (174ft) Parsifal IV claimed the final spot on the podium.

Silencio's owner was understandably delighted with the result of his first participation in the Cup: "We've got an amazing crew, an amazing spirit on board, thanks to the captain and the tactician Dawn Riley and all the crew we did a great job, but above all we had a lot of fun. Six months ago we had never raced and we were unlucky at the Bucket but now you are going to start hearing more about Silencio. This is the start of a love story between the Cup and us, I'm very proud of the crew."

The owner of P2 was pleased with his yacht's performance, commenting on his return to the docks: "It was a well-run and enjoyable regatta and I certainly appreciate Perini Navi's innovative spirit in building a fast, competitive boat."

The final results were as follows:

1. Silencio
2. P2
3. Parsifal IV
4. Zenji
5. Tamsen
6. Jasali II
7. Panthalassa

Perini Navi Cup 2013: Day 1 Update

The magnificent fleet of Perini Navi yachts took to the waters off Porto Cervo today for the first day of racing of the Perini Navi Cup 2013. The fifth edition of the event, organized by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, is open to yachts designed and built by the renowned Italian shipyard and will run through to Saturday 31st August. The first race of the event was dominated on the water by the performance cruising sloop P2 which crossed the finish line with a comfortable lead while the 50m (164ft) Silencio went on to claim victory in corrected time.

Light winds of around 8kts kept the fleet moving along a coastal course of approximately 13 miles that saw them cross the starting line off Porto Cervo with a course set for the Secca Tre Monti rock. After rounding the rock the sailing superyachts headed upwind to round the Secca delle Bisce before racing to the finish off the Gulf of Pevero.

P2, a 38m (124ft) sloop stormed around the course well ahead of the other competitors. Captain Jonathan Kline was pleased with the P2’s performance and commented: "This is our first Perini Navi Cup with P2 and we found the conditions we expected, light winds but excellent for P2. We knew we would be able to pass most of the fleet in the first leg but then we would have to extend significantly to maintain the lead. I don’t know yet how we did, we finished quite far ahead of most of the boats but I don’t know if it was enough to take first place."

America’s Cup sailor Dawn Riley was pleased with the teamwork aboard Silencio, "We won today, well done to all! I am the tactician on board and the entire crew did really well today, they were perfect. This is my third Perini Navi Cup and you have to know how to sail these boats, everything is so big. The owner said he wanted to get just one podium finish so I guess we did that! I just hope we can keep it up now."

Third place went to the 52m (170ft) Tamsen, racing in the event with a crew of almost 60 friends and family members.

Lets see what surprises racing brings tomorrow when the yacht line for a start at 11am with light to moderate easterly winds.
