Unfortunately Bella Mente suffered a rig failure before the start of race day three at Les Voiles de St. Barth. The entire crew is safe and there were no injuries onboard. We will post an update regarding the final day of racing once we have more details.
About Bella Mente
The original Bella Mente Racing campaign kicked off in 2006 with Key West Race Week, and since then owner and skipper Hap Fauth has had three additional racing yachts in the program.
Launched in September of 2018, the current Bella Mente is a Maxi 72 designed by Botin Partners in Spain and built by New England Boatworks in Rhode Island.
