Giovanni Soldini and his crew passed the island of Lampedusa at around 18.00 local time (16.00 UTC), and are now heading towards the finish line in Malta.
After passing Pantelleria in the morning, the Italian trimaran sailed towards the last buoy of the Rolex Middle Sea Race’s course at a speed between 14 and 27 knots, maintaining the first place.
There are now 115 miles before the finish line for Maserati Multi 70‘s crew that will now have to face the most challenging part of the regatta, with strong wind and rough sea in beam reach.
