Racing Results at Piana Giraglia: Scallywag Claims Line Honors, Ker 40 Takes Top Spot on Podium
Set sailors were on a 200-mile chase for wind pockets during the Loro Piana Giraglia No. 72, stretching from Saint-Tropez to Giraglia to Genova. The competition was long and technical, with a jaw-dropping finish on June 12, when Maxi 100 Scallywag and Magic Carpet E (captained by Francesco de Angelis) raced neck and neck. Scallywag, under the guidance of Australian skipper David "Witty" Witt, crossed the finish line first, earning line honors in 32 hours, 58 minutes, and 47 seconds. Alessandro Del Bono's 80' Maxi Capricorno secured third place.
While the overall winner of the Loro Piana Giraglia 2025 isn't a tale of speed but one of precision and consistency. The Ker 40 Vito 2.3, captained by Gian Marco Magrini, claimed the Loro Piana Challenge Trophy, making him the first to finish in corrected time among the largest group. The prize-giving ceremony took place at the Yacht Club Italiano, organizers of this Mediterranean classic.
