The Genova Sailing Week – Coppa Andrea Alberti concluded today, offering participants three days of racing in the Gulf of Genoa. Favorable weather conditions allowed the Race Committee to complete six races for all classes, enabling the 40 registered crews to carry out a full and technically solid racing program.
The regattas took place in well-defined weather conditions, with two days characterized by the classic Genoese tramontana and one day with a south-westerly wind consistently above 12 knots—conditions that ensured the smooth running of the schedule and highly technical, closely contested races.
At the end of the event, the traditional prize-giving ceremony was held in the main hall of the Yacht Club Italiano, in keeping with the long-standing tradition of the regatta. During the ceremony, President Carlo Cameli reminded all participants of the long history of the Coppa Andrea Alberti, which has now reached its 71st edition.

In the J70 class, victory went to CAIM – Jeniale Team by Massimo Rama (YC Chiavari), who also claimed the Coppa Alessio Roccatagliata, established in memory of a young member of the Yacht Club Italiano who tragically passed away and awarded to the winner of the largest one-design class.
