Sorrento, Italy – May 12, 2025 — Bella Mente Racing is set to compete in the upcoming 2025 IMA Maxi European Championship, with the 70th edition of the historic Tre Golfi Sailing Week in Sorrento, Italy. As one of the premier events on the international sailing calendar, the regatta brings together top-tier maxi yachts for a week of tactical racing and seamanship.
The event runs from May 16–22 and includes a 150-nautical-mile offshore race starting in Naples. The race follows a route through the three gulfs of Naples, Gaeta, and Salerno, rounding islands like Ischia, Ponza, and Li Galli before finishing in Sorrento. The offshore challenge is followed by four days of inshore racing.
Bella Mente is back to defend the championship with a focused crew and a deep commitment to competitive excellence. With a history of strong performances and a reputation for technical precision, the team is looking forward to the challenges of this year’s course and the high level of competition.
“We always enjoy sailing in Sorrento,” said owner and helmsman Hap Fauth. “It’s a stunning venue and a demanding event, both in terms of navigation and strategy. The team has worked hard in preparation, and we’re looking forward to getting out on the water.”
