Sailing: Cervino Competes In Italian Nationals
15-year-old Bermudian Matteo Cervino competed against 39 others in the O’pen Skiff Under 17 class in the first of a series of upcoming Italian Nationals.
A spokesperson said, “Taking place over Easter weekend with the beautiful backdrop of Sferracavallo, Sicily, 15 year old Bermudian, Matteo Cervino [11238], competed against 39 others in the O’pen Skiff Under 17 class in the first of a series of upcoming Italian Nationals.
“Cervino was in 11th place after day one of racing and on the second day managed a 2nd place finish bumping him up to 8th position. With winds too light for sailors to compete on the third day, he managed to hold onto his 8th place finish.
“With the Worlds having been cancelled last year due to Coronavirus restrictions, Cervino is hoping to make it to the O’pen Skiff Worlds in July 2021.”
Way to go Matteo, granny so proud of you xx
