"Last year we finished in third place. We feel the responsibility and the honor of being able to achieve a better result this season. I would like to thank my father Alberto for his passionate support," said Pablo Roemmers.
The new Azzurra, a project of the Botin Partners design office, had already hit the water last month at Palma Vela, training regatta for the TP52 class, obtaining a victory from the onset.
After the official christening, the Audi Azzurra Sailing Team took to the sea for the practice race of the 39tth Trofeo Conde de Godo, where it finished in second place. Onboard was also Commodore Bonadeo, an expert yachtsman, who said: "It was a very positive day, where the sea and wind conditions were ideal to test the boat and crew. The guys made an excellent recovery in the first run, and the second place is fully satisfying. Boat speed and crew work are promising. If we add the fact the Princess exploded the bottle in the christening, we can expect the results we want."
