It was a busy Memorial Day Weekend for Bella Mente Racing, which has been working hard at the Newport Shipyard to get their Maxi 72 ready for the 2016 summer season. Over the past few days, the team reattached the keel to the hull, painted both the bulb and fin and wet sanded and buffed the racing yacht.
The team has a busy week ahead, which started today with the measurement procedures for the Newport-Bermuda Race, and the Maxi 72 North American Championship at NYYC’s 162nd Annual Regatta. Tomorrow, the team will step the rig and launch the boat.
