Bella Mente will be racing in the 33rd edition of the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup, organized by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in collaboration with title sponsor Rolex and the International Maxi Association in Porto Cervo from September 3rd to 9th.
Bella Mente’s preparation in 2023 has stemmed around being successful at the 2023 Rolex Maxi World Championship. The approach has taken an aggressive look at our racing over the 21 and 22 seasons recognizing the strengths of our competition and balancing with the strengths and weaknesses of Bella Mente according to Tactician, Terry Hutchinson. To get Bella Mente to the spot she is today has been a monumental effort by the Bella Mente shore team. As we worked to learn and understand the changes through the Newport season we can see noticeable changes to Bella Mente’s performance. Lining up against the other Maxi’s will be a great test for the team. As we wait for the Mistral to lay down I know we are all anxious to get into the racing!
Nightly race reports will be posted to the Bella Mente Racing website
