Our sponsorship with Scugnizza and Enzo De Blasio along with his yacht racing crew experienced another successful 2021 sailing season. It culminated in Scugnizza achieving a notable win in November for the Italian Cup series in Naples.
A number of firsts were achieved throughout the season against a backdrop of very competitive racing yachts and the increasing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, which saw some races cancelled or postponed. Enzo and team successfully and consistently outperformed their rivals achieving first place at:
- the Champions Cup in Polignano a Mare
- the Punta Stendardo trophy in Gaeta
- the Rolex Tre Golfi in Naples
- the Orc European Championship in Capri
- the Italian ORC Championship in Punta Ala.
And they achieved second placing in the King's Cup in Palma de Mallorca.
As Enzo and his crew highlight, “2021 was an amazing season for us and we are very much looking forward to 2022 as the competition on the water increases. As we prepare for the upcoming competitions, we are not letting our success from last year make us complacent. We have some key learnings to take onboard and we are concentrating on building a high-functioning team focused on winning.”
Enzo was awarded the prestigious accolade of “Best helmsman owner” in 2021.
The 2022 season will soon begin.
