Mercoledì Caldonazzo

Caldonazzo, July 31, 2013. Report by Andrea Piazza

In the little lake of Caldonazzo, near the more famous Garda lake, Punta Indiani fleet n.415 with capitain Silvano Zuanelli usually sails each Wednesday evening. The start is scheduled at 6 p.m. but often we start later. In this case no more than two races are permitted. The boss of this game is Vittorio Bortolotti known as “Despota” because he decided the rules in a non demochratic way.

…

Last Wedneday the new record of 21 snipes has been beated and we had three races with 10 knots.. Absolutely wonderful in a time when it is difficult to reach 20 boats in national regatta. No entry fee is required (only 30 € at the begininning of the season) and after the race you can eat at the club restaurant with only 10 euro. A new crew partecipated last Wednesday. Of course no entry fee has been required but a boat has been lended them. They came from Brenzone 80 km far. Maybe they will buy a snipe soon….Meanwhile they probably will come next Wednesday, too. This is real promotion as said by our commodore, “..one at a time.”.

Our Despota has a blog
www.snipein.blogspot.com
where you can find results, the crazy rules with extrpoints for non high speed people and comments.

This little miracle is possible thanks to Vittorio Bortolotti (2 times Italian sniper of the year) ….but be careful: do not criticize his rules… he is very touchy.
