17-year-old Matteo Cervino competed in the Laser Radial class this weekend in Italy, claiming a 3rd place position out of 29 participants.
A spokesperson said, “17-year-old, Matteo Cervino, jumped right back into competition this weekend in his new class, the Laser Radial. He had an impressive showing at the Zonal Meeting for sailors living in the region of Tuscany, Italy. There were over 100 participants in over 8 classes invited to his home club on the Island of Elba.
“Cervino placed 6th in class on the first day in the first race and with no wind remaining after several hours of waiting, they called it a day. The second day started with some heavy showers and some stronger winds.
“With some stiff competition and 10 knots of wind he fought hard and managed to pull off a 3rd, 3rd and 3rd place finish in the three races held on Sunday landing himself on the podium in 3rd position absolute out of 29 participants in his class, and in 2nd position for the under 19 year category.”
