The 2025 title of the Italian RS21 Championship in Sanremo

The final stage of the RS21 Cup Yamamay 2025, also valid as the Italian Open Class Championship, ended with great success here in Sanremo. Italian and international crews competed in spectacular conditions, with great satisfaction for the technical and sporting level of the event, in collaboration with the Class, confirming, once again, the organizational capacity and hospitality of our club. 

Despite the light wind, which made the races even more technical and hard-fought, the six races held offered great spectacle in the waters of the Riviera dei Fiori. 

The title of Italian Champion 2025 RS21 Open was won by Andrea Rossi, owner and helmsman of Mela, Club Nautico Marina di Carrara – tactician Enrico Zennaro, Simon Sivitz Kosuta and Stefano Orlandi – thanks to two partial victories and a consistency of results that allowed him to get the better of the German RS Enterprise crew of Melanie Höveler, second place on equal points. «A satisfaction that I share with all my team with whom I have a harmony that has lasted for years and that has led me to two European titles, a world championship and an Italian in the Swan 42 class – comments Andrea Rossi – We have been racing in RS21 for two seasons and this is the first real success, even if there was no lack of good performances». 

In the Corinthian group, the title went to Filippo Pacinotti with Brontolo, Four Sailing Ancona, while in the Under 23 category Alessandro Bossi’s Nordes, LNI Mandello del Lario, won the race.
